  • Works great!
This is my go to brand for shipping tape. It always works great. It’s thick, so 1 strip always does the job.

  • It’s tape. With all the tape characteristics.
Great tape. Good size and outstanding thickness. Clear and sticky as you need for any taping purposes. Also comes on the dispenser that can be your friend or worst enemy. Sometimes you get it to feed properly through and cut it with the edge provided effortlessly. Then there are the other times. Those times when you wonder if you have somehow made this roll of tape completely solid with accidental magic creating no edge to dig out with your fingernail so you can try to thread it through the guides and use it. I found this to be most infuriating and frankly I always have had this issue with numerous rolls of packing tape. The insanity created by trying to find the end after it has gone into complete stealth mode only rivaled by the Cloak of Invisibility from Hogwarts or next gen fighter aircraft . Overall if you need this and have moved a time or two in your life you know what you’re getting. Also pay attention to the length of tape on the roll. Underestimate it and you’re tripping over empty rolls and empty boxes. It is very effective and convenient. Comes with a hanging point so if you manage to have any left it stores easy. So you can spend an hour trying to find the end when you need it again. ... show more
