Returned it, wanted regular scotch tape

I bought these because I assumed refills were available at Sam’s. I guess I’ll throw away all this plastic?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In just a short time, I have used my Scotch brand Shippihg Tape with Dispenser for so many things. I filled a box with old photos and taped it shut, I sealed and mailed a box of AZ goodies to my brother and my daughter used it to create a poster board of her artwork. Easy to use, doesn't get tangled.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Scotch Heavy Duty Packaging Tape with Dispenser is outstanding! The tape itself is so sturdy that it gives me complete confidence when sending packages in the mail, by courier, or even for storage purposes. I honestly feel better knowing I am using Scotch Heavy Duty Shipping Tape. The dispenser is, well, dispensable! *LOL* It makes it so convenient you do not have to worry about scissors. Now, if you are like me and sometimes finish your taping work a the post office, this is the most convenient way to use the tape. I love this product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this tape! If I use it for something to go into the garage for storage, it is still working the following year. If I send it on a package to GA and it gets rained on, it is still holding strong. It gives me a strong sense of security.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Re-doing a job takes time and energy, neither of which I have to spare. I use Scotch Premium Performance Packaging Tape tp seal heavy shipping boxes, knowing that the job will be done right, with minimal effort on my part, since I won't have to apply multiple layers of a cheaply made tape.

This is my go to tape when shipping orders, that being said I hate how it's so loud compared to other tapes from the same brand . It's loud enough that I can't do any packaging at night because I'm worried it'll disturb someone . The tape itself is great!, it sticks well and doesn't budge

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 3M gave me a free sample of this product to evaluate. As someone who often ships cartons of items, I was amazed to discover this product. I have always bought Scotch Packaging Tape but never tried the "Heavy Duty." This product far surpasses other packaging tapes due to its strong super holding power. Because it was so effective, I used much less tape on the package which will save money in the long run and also makes me feel like the package is more secure.

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 a free sample of 3M Scotch Heavy Duty Packaging Tape and used this product to seal a package to mail. I had difficulty getting the tape started. There is a "tab" that appears to be the starting point, but in fact the tape ran over and past this point, so I struggled to find the beginning of the roll. Also, there is a piece of cardboard that says "remove here" that protects the cutting blade edge which is a great safety feature. However once I removed the cardboard where indicated, the cutting edge was still covered up with part of the attached cardboard, thus making cutting the tape difficult. I tried to remove the residual cardboard tab, but it is well secured, so I was not successful. I don't know if that little tab that remains is supposed to be left on for protection of the blade, or removed, but if left on, the cutting edge is blocked, and if it is to be removed, I cannot figure out how to do so without cutting myself on the cutting edge! However the tape itself is wonderful! It dispensed very easily and smoothly. I cannot tear it, which assures secure sealing. It has it's own dispenser, which would be very handy except for the above issues. It is clear tape, so you can see where you are putting it which is obviously important when sealing a seam or package edges. I love the tape and would recommend it for anyone's packaging needs.
