Scotch Box Lock Packaging Tape, 1 Roll with Dispenser, 1.88 in x 1965 in, Extreme Grip Packing, Shipping and Mailing Tape, Sticks Instantly to Any Box (3950-RD)

This tape worked very well on recycled cardboard. I will buy it again!

I never thought I would write a review about packing tape, as I rarely review anything, much less something so seemingly inconsequential. But this tape changed my relationship with the material. It starts super easily, and if you drop the end it can be peeled right back up without losing any. Weirdly, unlike most screeching tape rolls, this roll makes ZERO sound. Not just quiet, but silent. Its almost eerie. And the most important part, the adhesion: It sticks immediately and doesnt come up off the box or mailer at all. I hope they make it forever, it seems like products I really love have short life spans.

During my last move, I found out how the other main brand tape was not only noisy but also didnt hold the boxes well. I am thrilled that I caught on early on and ordered these in bulk. They stick to just about anything. Great stuff here!!!

I love this product. It is the second purchase. I find it useful for so many little projects, as well as shipping and sealing mail.

Theres so many 3M/Scotch products out there, its hard to tell. Ill update at a later date.

This tape doesnt stick to boxes. Ended up buying regular Scotch heavy duty packaging tape.

Fast and east to use

Still could be stickier. Comes off if a box to easily.

Ive been doing mail order for 55 years and have gone through thousands of miles of packaging tape- all brands and all sizes. This is THE BEST packaging tape I have ever used. It is super strong and works wonderfully. Grab yourself a few rolls when they go on sale. You will not be disappointed with the quality.

It says what it promised to do, and that is Sticks instantly to any box. The tape is thick, not flimsy, nor did I had trouble of tears when pulling the edge of the tape. Dispenser is a plus-- I dont have to reach for a pair of scissors. There may be pieces of teenie tiny cardboard or paper on the sides, from packaging etc. Just clean that up to avoid it from sticking into the tape, as you work. Its just common sense. Tried and tested. Reliable product. Im going to order more today.
