goStaunch Strapping Tape (1.88 x 30yds, Pack of 4) Heavy Duty Packing Tape Rolls - 5.5mil Fiberglass Tape - 2X Thicker Shipping Tape - Synthetic PET Adhesive Filament Tape - Reinforced Packing Tape

I was looking for a reinforced packing tape I could use to better seal boxes containing heavier items for shipping, and that is exactly what I got. This tape is strong, flexible and sticky, which gives me confidence in shipping than regular clear packing tape thats not reinforced. Im very pleased with this purchase.

After reading other reviews of this product I decided to give it a go. I routinely pack and ship hand crafted items as a hobby, and the items I make often have some weight to them. This packing tape simply doesn’t meet the task of keeping heavier boxes sealed and closed. Upon receiving the tape from Amazon I put it to use boxing up a few items, and each line of tape I applied to the box didn’t adhere well, at all. Sections of the tape wouldn’t stick to the cardboard, and each strip of tape could be peeled off easily and without issue. Stated simply, a box sealed with this tape isn’t secure. I fully acknowledge that my experience with this product is very atypical when reading the other reviews. Maybe I received a defective version of this tape, or maybe the applications noted in other reviews weren’t for boxes containing heavier items. Regardless, I will be going back to my standard (and more expensive) 3M clear packing tape. I was hoping to save some money with this product, but I suppose the old adage is true… You get what you pay for. Signed, Disappointed EDIT: Following my initial review, GoStauch reached out to me to discuss my experience with their tape. They agreed that my experience likely indicated a defective product, and they sent another 4-pack of their tape. Tape rolls from this second pack are performing better, but Im still reinforcing them with clear 3M packing tape to be sure the tape is secure. I bumped my rating based on the companys response alone, and I may revisit it again once I have more experience with using this tape in more packing and shipping situations.

I didnt realize they come with fiberglass stripes so thats an added bonus. They are very strong and similar to clear duct tapes. I wish they are tearable by hands but due to the toughness, you will need a scissor or a tape gun dispenser. Its very sticky with strong adhesive so do not use it on anything that may tear off varnish or paint.

The goStaunch strapping tape set looks to be good quality, with thickness and good adhesion as expected. We are using it for sealing boxes for an upcoming move. It came with 4 rolls in the set. I recommend it.

So, I was dumb and didnt get the appropriate tape gun for this tape. That probably would have made things easier because a typical serrated tape gun blade just...no. Ended up using a box cutter instead. I did waste a lot of tape because once it gets stuck to itself, nothing short of a miracle will unstick it. BUT this tape ended up being more durable and reliable than the boxes I used it on, so three cheers all around. Get the tape. Just...get the right tape gun. Dont be me.

This tapes was very sticky so adhered to cardboard boxes easily. The reinforcing in it left me feeling very comfortable that the boxes I was taping closed would stay sealed. It is very sticky so you have to take care not to let it touch itself when applying. I used a simple box knife to cut it while applying as I do not have/use a tape gun. Not something you can tear by hand.

Suitable for oddly shaped materials or a simple parcel, a great alternative to normal nylon tapes for packages that need extra protection.

I lived that I can get this in larger rolls, seeing that my mom ships alot of stuff to her sister. Well worth the money

great pack for my business needs and the tape works like a charm even after days, The tapes on boxes are found intact and solid. Getting them again!

I live this tape!! It’s so much stronger and waaaay stickier than packing tape and even duct tape, especially when it comes to cardboard boxes. It doesn’t cut well with a tape dispenser, unless you have one that has a “straight” blade…if they make such a thing?? If your tape dispenser has the “teeth” blade, it doesn’t cut the nylon strings running through the tape at all. Personally, I use the dispenser to apply the tape, then use a box cutter to cut the tape. It’s a bit of a pain that way, but since the tape itself is far superior to any other tape I’ve used on cardboard boxes, it’s worth the extra step!!
