This is crazy!! I just want to tape a box and use the dispenser I paid for and I cant get it to thread through the slot. No diagrams or anything on the dispenser either. It shouldn't be that difficult, what's the problem?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great Packaging Tape. I always have packages to send out for returns and this is an awesome shipping tape to use to tape up those amazon boxes I need to return. I love the compact size and the ability to keep it tucked away in a drawer to use when needed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I bought my first house, I bought a few essential supplies; the common hammer, stapler, screwdriver and tape gun - this one. I have had it now for 10+ years, it still works like it did when it was new : EXCELLENTLY! Easy to load, easy to use, and very powerful and durable. Mine has my hane wrote on it, and if you use it - you BETTER PUT IT BACK; it does have a home ;)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the tape itself. It is strong and is easy to place and seal on any package. It took several minutes and a good pair of readers to get the tape started off the roll. I soon realized when trying to stretch the tape out, that the grippers on the tape dispenser are located too close to the tape roll. Pinching and gripping in the designated spots seem to inhibit the roll of tape to spin. Just a design flaw.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product free from 3M. We decided to use this tape to make a cardboard castle. Since it was heavy duty, we thought it would hold up better than normal tape against the hustle and bustle of a busy castle. So far, the castle is still in one piece,and the tape is still securely in place. The tape does feel slightly thicker than regular packaging tape. Overall, we are pleased with this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the way Scotch Shipping Tape holds moving boxes securely together. The easy-to-use dispenser makes assembling boxes quick work. And I also use this wide tape over my package mailing labels to ensure the address is easy-to-read and waterproof. Sometimes I use this tape around the edges of manila envelopes to make them stronger for mail handlers. The tape comes off the roll evenly, not in strips and pieces like some cheaper brands I have used. It's really the best value overall.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The packing is very strong and capable of proving secure bonding for small and large packages. It never fails during UPS or Federal Express shipping of parcels over all distances. Highly recommended for all shipping. We

Based on all of the rave reviews, I must have received a bad batch or something. I got a small box of these 1.5" cores on the plastic dispensers. I took one small roll (out of the small box of them) with me to a convention, so that I could pack up everything when the show was complete. When I put it on the first box, I noticed that something was very wrong. It would barely stick to the box. I noticed that it would barely even stick to my fingers. I then tried to seal a couple boxes with it. However, buy the time I got to the next box, it was already coming off of the previous box. When pulled it off of the roll, it was nearly as sticky on the "adhesive" side as it was on the back. This was huge mess for me. It was the only roll of tape I had (I only had 6-7 boxes to seal). When I got back, I noticed that the other brand-new rolls were the same. Very disappointing. :-(

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this from 3M for review. I love that the dispenser holds up to pressure without breaking. The tape is very strong and the adhesive very good without leaving a tacky feeling on my fingers if I touch it. I definitely recommend this product.
