Scotch Heavy Duty Shipping Packaging Tape, 1.88 Inches x 54.6 Yards, 8 Rolls (3850-8), 436YD (400 m)

MUCH cheaper than what you will find elsewhere such as Staples or Office Depot for the exact same product. I highly recommend this item, and will definitely be purchasing it again when needed.

Bought 2 for moving. Worked perfect. No broken/ ripped boxes. Held up to the heavy kitchen stuff and my books. I tend to be a over taper, I probably didn’t need to tape so much with this strong type of tape but I like being safe than sorry. Would buy again. Definitely recommend. Do not even bother with the cheap tape if you what you belongings to move in one piece.

Ive used this for some time. I will continues to use it.

I was expecting this tape to be heavier duty and purchased it to replace the tape roll that had just run out. However, the tape is much thinner and the adhesion is not ideal. It comes off the runner quite quickly so much is wasted. Does not stick as well as other types Ive tried. Was hoping for a heavier-duty product.

I tried some of the other types of Scotch packaging tapes when we were packing up for a move, but this has the best adhesion to boxes of any of them. It outperformed the tape that Scotch sells FOR moving, which lifted off the boxes about 15 min after you applied it.

Scotch tape is extra thick and it only takes one pass to seal a box. If the roll gets backed up it’s easy to find the edge and peel off to get started for the tape gun.

This tape, Scotch 3850, is the best tape on the market for any normal consumer applications. This is the top of the line for Scotch (aside from some heavy industrial tapes that you dont need and probably wont find on Amazon anyway.) We have been using this tape daily for years, on anything from small boxes (1 book size) to really big boxes (30 x 24 x 20) and this stuff works great regardless of the application. Yes, its more expensive, but it is by far worth the investment if you ship regularly, or even as a one time purchase if you are moving or something. It sticks well to any type of cardboard, plastic or poly bags, etc. Your cost can be mitigated a bit by watching for price fluctuations and buying more at once. For this listing, Scotch 3850-8, the price is usually quite reasonable, but can creep up sometimes to a level where its not worth it. Anyway, something to keep in mind if youre shopping around--the part number for this tape is 3850. The -8 at the end only means its an 8 pack. So, Scotch 3850-6 or 3850-3 are exactly the same tape, just a different quantity of rolls in the pack. I dont usually write reviews, but here is why Im writing this one... I feel the need to respond to the reviews that say this tape does not stick well. It does. UNLESS it is OLD. So-- if you order this tape in any quantity and it doesnt stick well, it is past its shelf life and should be returned to the seller. You can usually tell if its too old just by looking at a roll from the side. If it has a tan/ brownish look to it AT ALL the tape is old. Also, when looking through a roll from the outside, this tape should be completely (almost freakishly) crystal clear all the way through the roll to the cardboard at the center. Bottom line: If this tape is still within a decent shelf life, it cant be beat. Its well worth the money. If the tape is old, the glue has degraded and the entire order should be returned. (And whoever sold it to you in the first place should have known better.) If you receive the tape in good condition, but it is then subjected to fluctuating heat/cold/humidity, etc. the shelf life will drop considerably, so dont throw your extra rolls up in the attic. :) Though Im not certain, the shelf life for this tape in its best condition seems to be somewhere between 1 and 2 years, probably closer to a year.

This is the tape I always buy and it is great. I will order it again.

I love how this tape works. My thanks to Amazon for carrying in larger quantity competitive price. This is the best tape of its kind I feel. I use it not only for packaging but to fix labels on all kinds of stationary (folders, envelopes) and to strengthen paper I wish to use and to make a nice book covering for old paperbacks. Love this stuff!

Ive been purchasing this SHIPPING tape for a number of years, and have always been very happy with it. Although it may be more expensive than other such tapes, its well worth the extra expense: Its easy to handle and adheres/ holds better than any other tape Ive ever tried. Anyone wanting to buy a tape that will hold, needs to look no further than this tape.
