This tape is terrible! Sadly I bought 2 6 packs and we are in the middle of moving. I'm not going to go out and buy more tape so this is what I'm stuck with. First I'm constantly losing the end, when I find it and start to pull up 70% of the time it will split into at least 2 pieces. At one time I had it split 4 different ways. I've had a few times where it splits and I think I've got it back to one piece but then a giant triangular piece pulls off unexpectedly and I'm back to trying to find the end. It also doesnt hold well at all. I couldn't imagine using this to send packages in the mail. They would definitely open. Luckily we are just moving so the boxes will be up right at all times. Hopefully the bottoms stay sealed. All the tops are slowly coming undone though, so that's fun. Heavy duty isnt the right name for this tape. Waste of time and annoying would be words I would use instead

[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 used this tape for shipping packages. I like that it is easy to apply, strong, and stays stuck. The applicator makes it easy to apply it exactly where I want It and then easily cut it at the end. I found that the tape is extremely strong, and I like that once I put in place, it stays stuck.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the holder. Much easier to use rather than using a tape gun. Works great for taping up broken down boxes and hanging things. Easy to hold and strong. Decent amount of tape included in the spool - 55 yards

There do not seem to be 1.88 inch x 800 inch refills for the red plastic tape dispensers. Why? While I like your clear packaging and shipping tape, it is very disappointing that I must consign the empty dispensers to the landfill since the local recycling centers will not accept them. Can't 3M do better?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this Scotch heavy duty shipping tape. In my opinion it is the best tape I have every used. I was packing up some items to store and had picked up broken down boxes. The items I had to put in were heavy so I had to use the tape to actually make the box and then seal them. It was the best tape ever. It adhered to the box and did not peal back or seem week at all. I went out and bought the exact same one that I received as a sample to review since it was so good. I recommend it for those who need to not only ship but to box up items that may sit in your garage.

Purchased multiple rolls (20-25) of both regular duty packaging tape as well as "heavy duty" shipping/packaging tape. Tape does not stick to boxes at all, so you end up having to go completely around each box to allow the tape to stick to itself. Even comes loose from bubble wrap. If you want to use twice as much tape as should be needed, buy this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this brand for the last two years and have found it consistently excellent for all adhesive applications, including packaging, mailing, household general use, outdoor use, gardening applications, industrial applications and also as a hold-fast tape for odds and ends around my home. I personally use it often while scrap booking too and strongly recommend it to all quality conscious people. I feel its use once will more than satisfy the user and bond him/her as a lifelong user.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was thrilled to have Scotch Heavy Duty Shipping Packaging Tape available to seal my return! I needed to return a box filled with multiple heavy items. This tape was amazing for getting a very neat and tight seal when closing. The dispenser made stretching the tape across the box a breeze. The serrated cutting edge was efficient when I needed to clip the end of the tape. I would highly recommend this when you want a high performance seal with ease of use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ship a lot of items on a daily basis from my internet business and I love 3m scotch packaging tape. It makes sealing boxes so easy and durable for shipment. This is the only brand that i buy. I love love this tape
