Scotch Heavy Duty Shipping Packaging Tape, 2 x 800 - Clear (3 Tapes) (1, Clear)

I bought this to seal 5 cubed boxes for mailing. It does its job well but is hard to tear using the plastic dispenser and sometimes comes off the rings that it is meant to spin on. Still, 4 stars for keeping the packages shut.

Love the dispenser.

Easy to use for sealing packages and boxes

Research and find a better product with more tape than this for less money

Good

The best tape on the market. Dont bother with slightly cheaper tapes, they wont adhere anywhere near as well and you have a hard time finding the cut end. Good dispenser where you can actually find the end of the tape.

Well all I can say is this tape works well. Sometimes buying brand name products are the only way to go.

Product worked as advertised

I like the Scotch Heavy Duty Shipping Packaging tape and have used it for years. Because it is clear I can safely tape over labels and bar codes and know that they will still be seen. However, I believe there is room for improvement in the packaging regarding two things. 1) Getting the tape off the roll. You have to look very carefully for where there is a serrated edge on the tape, scrape it with your thumbnail, and then finally pull it to a place about 1/2 wide where it is not attached and pull it free. This could be made much simpler by just having a small strip of the tape with non-stick backing at the start of the tape. 2) The cardboard portion which fits around the cutting edge. It is easy to pull off the main part of the cardboard, but at the end there are always two little pieces stuck on either side which usually require me to get a pair of tweezers and remove. Again, I think there could be a more user-friendly way of doing this. So, yes, it is good tape, but I think the company could make some improvements in the way it is packaged, for added consumer convenience.

I normally buy the off brand of packing tape because of price. However, I tried this brand and loved it. The ease of dispensing was great and better than other off brands. The tape doesn’t get stuck or rip in half. The tape worked well.
