[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tape holds up really well when I was taping up boxes to ship out. Is definitely a thicker feeling tape so I feel like it did a really good job and I didn't need to tape things twice to make sure I had a strong hold.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] High quality packaging tape, the adhesive works great for many uses on a variety of surfaces. The sure start tab made it easy to begin using it without the usual struggle to find the beginning of the roll.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I volunteer to evaluate products for 3M, and the company recently sent me a free sample of Scotch Sure Start Packaging Tape. What i really liked and appreciated was the cutting edge on the dispenser. It cut straight and it cut straight every single time I used it. The tape is fairly thick, it never split on me or tore. The roll was extremely easy to stsrt unlike some others I've tried in the past.

I was also frustrated with this tape. Even though it says Shipping/Packaging tape, don't buy it (model 3450 tape) for paper or cardboard envelopes or boxes. It doesn't stay in place. It is very suitable to use on plastic packages. For boxes, use model 3650 tape (Long Lasting Storage Packing tape). The 3650 tape is much stickier and never falls off of boxes. My complaint to 3M is that they make many types of tape, and it's hard to tell which is suitable for which use. Even if you are just looking for packing tape.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ship a lot of packages that weigh about 6lbs each. It is important to find a packing tape that will hold shut and stick to the box. This definitely sticks well and does not require that I add extra tape to secure my package. The Sure Start feature is wonderful too, because I hate wasting time picking at the end of tape. It really works and I think it's a great feature. I received this product in exchange for my personal opinion as part of a review program from the manufacturer. My opinion is my own, however.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tape is so easy to use. I never had to look for the end to use it the next time. It was right there ready to go. I was able to apply it to my package easily and it held up great. I also used it to close boxes to store in the attic and it sealed the box perfectly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product solves all the common issues with mailing tape. First the screech is gone! Most importantly, you can always find where the darn thing begins when you need to use it again. Of course, it holds extremely well too. (I received this from 3M to review.) I will only buy this product in future because it is such an improvement on all the others currently out there.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great product ... for someone who ships a fair amount of items, I love this tape and dispenser. The tape is easy to start off the roll and doesn't screech when it comes off like some others do. It cuts smoothly and easily enough on the dispenser and holds well to my package. Great product and easy to use which saves me time!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received The Scotch Packaging Sure Start Tape as a sample for review. Timing was perfect as we were packing items to move. The tape stayed stuck to the boxes, without the loud and ear screeching sounds typical of other packaging tape.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this item just in time to tape some boxes and fill them with items for donations. It does have staying power. It comes with the little serated edge to help cut the tape, but I find it a bit difficult. But it's probably because I am used to using the big tape gun.
