[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've moved around and packed so much throughout my life, I've always used Scotch packaging tape. I insist you have the dispenser as it makes the taping of boxes easier and more efficient. I've never had a problem with the tape tearing. As in the name it is heavy duty and strong. If you go with an off-brand the tape will keep breaking and you never get a clean tear leading to wasted time and frustration. I learned the hard way at first. Now I know to stick to Scotch products. I did receive this product free from 3M, however it's all I prefer and recommend using.

Bought in conjunction with a Scotch 3M tape dispenser (red metal and plastic gun type dispenser with foam covered handle). The combination was useless. Tape didn't adhere very well, then tape could not be cut by the blade. The tape would not cut even when I tried to stretch against the fully deployed blade. Thus, poor tape adherence and then failure to cut resulted in a lot of tape everywhere except where needed. Disappointing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] SCOTCH PACKAGING TAPE IS DEFINITELY THE CHOICE TO MAKE WHEN SENDING OUT PACKAGES FOR THE HOLIDAYS; YOU CAN BET ALL OF THE THINGS YOU MAIL WILL BE SAFE AND SECURE. THIS TAPE IS ALSO GREAT FOR GETTING YOUR HOUSE READY FOR WINTER! IT'S GREAT TO SECURE PLASTIC ON WINDOWS; AND ITS GREAT TO GO AROUND DOORS THAT AREN'T USED IN THE WINTER TO KEEP OUT THE COLD AIR THAT CREEPS IN. I ALSO USE THIS TAPE WHEN STORING COMFORTERS IN THE SUMMER MONTHS; I NEATLY ROLL THE COMFORTERS AND THEN GO AROUND THEM ONCE WITH THE TAPE; I THEN STORE THEM NEATLY IN THE CLOSET. THE TAPE KEEPS THEM NEAT AND IN ORDER; IT MAKES STORING THEM A BREEZE! THIS TAPE IS THE JACK OF ALL TRADES AT MY HOUSE AND I LOVE IT! THANKS, BELINDA.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would have given it 5 stars, but it was hard to get the roll started. They do the smaller scotch tape with a colored non sticky tab to lift and start...why not this? Aside from that, the dispenser portion is solid and works well, the tape is sticky and stays stuck to boxes and envelopes well, and it doesn't seem like it will tear or come loose when shipping. Once I got it started it was easy to dispense onto the box and it's wide enough to cover a seam with a single strip. I received a free sample of this product to review

Tape continually falls back on the roll. Hard to find the edge to unpeel. And hard to get the tape unstuck from roll without it splintering into ribbons. Wastes my time, wastes tape and creates frustration each and every time. Seems like Scotch packaging and engineering staff should have addressed these shortcomings years ago.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I use a flea comb on my cat, I first tear off a small piece of scotch packaging tape and hold it above the comb as I comb thru her fur so when the fleas jump they go into the tape. I also use the tape to remove any fur or fleas off the comb. Sometimes if they jump on me I tear off a large amount of tape and keep applying it on my clothes on and off until I catch them on the tape. I know this sounds crazy but it works wonderfully. You just have to be careful not to get it stuck on the cat's fur. Also works good on picking them off of surfaces too. Thank you for your product.

I purchased this tape to ship Christmas packages after years of satisfactory use of Scotch products. Don't know what Has changed but this is pure crap. It doesn't stick to anything, even it's own dry side. That failure is a sure sign of America's decline.

I have used 3M packing tape for years. It has always been excellent until now. The last batch was marginally sticky when the rolls were new, now after a few months, it barely sticks. Even if you take great care to rub it down to the box, it can easily be pulled off with almost no force. This is totally unacceptable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is very strong and sturdy tape. Easy to use and easy to start without having the tape tear while you are trying to use it. It holds on almost any surface. The amount and length could be a little longer but it's definitely enough. The tear teeth are sharp and make it easy to get any size piece you need.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ship a lot of products, and this tape works very well
