Three ibuprofens and hour later, still struggling to figure out how to release beginning of tape roll so I could start using it. There was no tab to pull on end of tape to get it started. There were no directions on package, either. Finally put roll under bright light and examined. There is an INVISABLE perforation that needs to be broken and tape then released. There was no way to know this on the package.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Discover 3M gave me this as a sample to review. I was a little skeptical at it's compact size compared to regular tape "guns", but it was actually more powerful to use because of it's size. I used this to tape up some small boxes for shipping and once you get the tape feeding setup, it is just so easy to use. The tape flows quite easily through the dispenser.

If you are using this tape to pack or ship anything into boxes do not buy. This tape is so poorly made I am writing a review to warn people that scotch should stop making tape and focus on literally anything else. They had one job and now I am going full Karen in the hopes they stop mislabeling their "heavy duty" packing tape. The tape does not secure to cardboard boxes. Do not buy this overpriced garbage.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The 3M Heavy Duty Shipping Tape is easy to use. The tape is thicker that other shipping tape, which is thicker than other shipping tape helps it not roll and stick to itself. The tape has a strong stick to packaging allowing it stick well and hold the packaging together. The dispenser is small and easy to handle, the cutting tool works well.

Adhesion seems to be quite good. I'm not sure that I'd trust it for heavy duty applications even though it says "Heavy Duty" on the label. There's also not a thickness specification on the label. It seems more like a mid to light duty tape to me. Clarity is great so it's good for labels. It is on the expensive side though.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I volunteer to evaluate products for 3M, and the company sent me a free sample of Scotch Heavy Duty Shipping Packaging Tape. The tape feels a bit thicker than other shipping/packging tapes I have used. It was easier to start the roll than any other I have used also, that part is usually a pain. I closed up a box about a week ago for storage in my garage and so far a week later it seems to be holding well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am in the process of moving and I have been using the scotch tape . It is very effective for securely wrapping boxes . I would definitely recommend it as a top choice for packing tape . The dispenser makes it very quick and efficient as well .

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this as a free gift in exchange for a review, but truthfully have bought more of this tape since then. This tape is amazing. Very durable and very strong. We used it in a recent move and it was excellent! Thank you Scotch for another great product. Also love the easy to use dispenser!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked that it was a good strong tape, It held my packages securely for mailing. The only thing I found I disliked at all, was the cutting edge did seem a little hard to cut the tape .I received this Scotch Packing Tape free and would purchase it in the future

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is strong tape and it works well. Doesn't get too caught up on the tape cutter piece and seems to do a good job sealing boxes without lifting around the corners. I did not receive any negative feedback on the couple of packages I sent in terms of poor packaging or things came undone. Only wish this was a bit bigger to handle more tape.
