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

Excellent value for your money

The tape is excellent for closing up boxes. I wish there was a way of restarting it again when you need it the next time. The tape sticks to itself and its sometimes hard to use it the next time.

I used the product.

this is great tape and available just about anywhere but I was ordering other stuff and thought Id stock up on this also. But when I checked my tracking info this was coming from the opposite side of the country from me. Just it by itself, the rest of the things I ordered were coming from closer places. Ill just get locally as this stuff isnt so special to warrant its own trip to me.

This tape is durable - perfect for shipping boxes and/or soft packages

New home, have been buying huge amounts of stuff on-line, sight unseen, and so have had lots of things to return ship.

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.

One of the dispenser broke and had to use more than anticipated to get it to stay adhered.

You have to figure out on your own how to use this thing. Not as easy as it might seem. Then there’s always the fact there’s no place to connect the end of the tape when your done. I had to fold the end of the tape so I wouldn’t have to look for it with a microscope then next time I used it

easy to use.
