I have had this roll of Scotch Shipping Tape laying in a drawer for about a year. Pulled it out and was going to tape a package for my sister, but there is no glue on the tape. It keeps rolling off the reel and sticks to NOTHING!

Took me 20 minutes to get the tape off the dispenser .... I have no idea how well it holds I'm just still fuming how long it took me to get the tape off the dispenser

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used the Scotch Heavy Duty Shipping tape to seal packages for shipping. I like the seal it provides the boxes. The tape is secure overall. One thing I dislike is the tape rips and splits more than I would like.

Just bought a six pack of this product and there are three problems before I ever use it: The fact that I sought out this web site to complain about this product, which I rarely do about anything, is an indication of my frustration with it, 1) Instructions for routing the tape through the dispenser are incomprehensible: "Pull tape through tabs" You can't pull tape "through" tabs - there is no "through". There is only under or over. Horrible diagram included does not make this any better. Once you figure that out, you are on your own on how to route tape across cutting bar. 2) You can't get the tape off the roll without damaging the roll, the dispenser, or both. There is a white bar to indicate where the tape begins on the roll, only it's not at the beginning, its buried somewhere in the first turn of tape on the roll. You have to use a boxcutter or similar to cut carefully cut into the roll and unwind the first turn, losing some amount of product just to create a starting point. 3) When you attempt to remove the cardboard the instructions are printed on, it tears off and leaves a section under the cutting bar which must be removed to use the tape. This is so difficult to remove it requires needle nose pliers to pull out, and it's so strong that the cutting bar is actually damaged at the four points where it must be removed. Normally I love 3M products. My house, garage and workshop are full of 3M products. I trust 3M to deliver a quality product. The tape on this product is probably wonderful, but that doesn't matter if you can't access or use it due to poor packaging and incomprehensible instructions.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product that was sent to me by 3m, and while I did not use if for packing.. i used it on mother's day for my balloon garland * i normally use crazy glue to add smaller balloons* . I just folded the slice of tape in half and it worked! My balloons remained attached to the other balloons... then I used it to actually hang the balloon garland * i use fishing line* and again they stayed up! AMAZING!!! Note I live in Miami and it was humid. This tape is clear, stays on and works! I can only imaging how good it will do with an actual box!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] WHOA!! This is some heavy duty tape, I mean HEAVY DUTY. I boxed up a few of my friends daughters dorm items and taped them up with this tape. Well, its move in day, it's crazy and my friend and her daughter both told me a story of one of the boxes I packed and taped going down a flight of stairs and the box never opened! The tape held going down a flight of stairs and contents were shaken but not broken. If this tape can survive dorm move in day, then this tape will out last us all!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Scotch heavy duty shipping tape free to review. This tape is very heavy sticks welll. Keeps the box close tightly. The handy application tool works great the reel of tape rolls easily and the cutting works great. I will recommend this to others.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 3M gave me a free sample of this product to evaluate. This is the best heavy duty packaging tape. I ship an average of 10-15 packages a week and Scotch Heavy Duty Packaging Tape is my go to tape. Super, super strong.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this as a free sample to test. Holds very secure. Water does not penetrate thru tape. I used when packing my antique china. My only complaint is that the tape adheres to the dispenser and is a little difficult to loosen the tape so you can pull it forward.

I sell crafts I make on online sales websites, so I ship alot of packages. I use Scotch Heavy Duty Shipping Packaging Tape because it gets the job done. This packaging tape is strong and the perfect amount of sticky. I've never had a problem using it yet.
