[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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very impressed with the stickiness of the Scotch Heavy Duty Packaging tape. The dispenser is sturdy and as I would expect. The tape itself is thick and does appear to be heavy duty as in it sticks well and seems to adhere strongly. Easy to roll, easy to cut using the attached cutter. The tape seems to adhere and hold strongly. I have had no issues with this tape and recommend it especially for packages.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sealed a package after receiving tape. Easy to use & work with. Also used it when I was out of clean contact paper to seal recipe cards. Looking forward to finding other uses for this tape. Scotch products are the best.

[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.] I received the product to evaluate for free from 3M. I actually have an older model that I use all the time and both models seem to be the same style so I can attest to its durability but there are things that can make it better. The cardboard piece that covers the blade can not easily be removed (see picture), sure the flap piece comes off but the part behind the blade does not slide out once the flap is off. This can interfere with getting a clean cut of the tape, I'll probably have to use scissors to carefully cut it out but it could be easily fixed by having the holes align with the part that is ripped off so that it slides out on its own without risk of injury. Additionally when the roll was still full, it would sometimes get stuck and not rotate easily, I couldn't actually find the sticking point and it doesn't happen on my older one when I put in a new roll or now that I have used several layers on the new one. The tape itself also doesn't unroll smoothly but instead sort of jerks out in segments. Finally the inner latch that you use to replace rolls could be designed better, it doesn't always stay closed. In fact on the older model, I just use a piece of tape to keep it closed but again the design could be improved to keep them shut. As to where I use this product, I send baked goods to deployed soldiers every week so use these packaging dispensers to seal the boxes and apply the mailing labels to the box. These boxes are tossed around a lot during their journey overseas so need to be taped securely. I have been sending these boxes for almost 5 years and have sent almost 350 boxes so the dispensers and tape do work but could be improved with my suggestions.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having family in another state, I frequently am sending gifts for birthdays, anniversarys, etc. This means boxing up gifts and mailing them. This tape is excellent for sealing boxes. The tape is heavy and seals extremely well. When using UPS, I print my own labels and this tape is perfect for covering that label and still allows them to scan. It is easy to dispense, cut and apply. In fact, one can use the dispenser to affix the tape to the side of the box and pull it over and down onto the other side of the box and quickly cut it using the cutter in the dispenser. It's also great for repairing torn large items like a display poster. I find this tape as an intergal part of my home office not only for shipping but also for many other tasks that require a heavy duty tape.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Scotch® Heavy Duty Shipping Packaging Tape with Dispenser is the product I received to test. I love it. It handles with ease. I love that the plastic tab is easy enough to hold on to and the tape comes out easily. I used it on a few boxes of things that I needed to pack up and put in storage. The tape sticks very well and did not unravel. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for taping jobs big and small.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Tape is really the Mercedes Benz of all packing Tapes. The Strip is thick and the glue is super strong. It covers and holds boxes together in one pulled strip. And its guaranteed not opening up!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this tape to seal large boxes, and it works superbly. It is clear, so I can also use it to seal in mailing labels. This product is very useful and strong. When I want to build up sides on a cardboard box, I put it around the corners and i know it won't fall off..... it really sticks!!! I have never had a rip in it either, unlike some other kinds of tape.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the one packaging tape I can rely on. It stays “stuck”. I was provided a free sample of this product in return for my honest opinion, but previously it was the brand of taor I normally sought out when purchasing packing tape.
