> 3 dayI was looking for some good tape to go along with my Uline H-325 and Uline H-596 tape dispensers, both of which only support tape that is 3 wide with a 3 core (which is surprisingly hard to find) but luckily Tape King pulled through and had some available on Amazon so I didnt need to pay Uline prices for tape which are insanely high. Ulines comparable tape is the S-1893 which is 2.6 mil thick vs Tape Kings 2.7 mil thick tape and each roll of Ulines tape is 3 x 55 yds vs Tape Kings 3 x 60 yds so your getting a little more with Tape King in each category and the costs comparison is $4.65 per roll of Uline tape vs $2.57 per roll of Tape Kings tape and its more easily available for sale on Amazon where I dont have to have extra shipping expenses since its available with Prime. The Tape King tape that I received looks crystal clear to me and didnt have any strong chemical smell like some of the other reviewers mentioned where they received tape with strong chemical smell and yellow tape instead of crystal clear. The only reason I gave it 4/5 stars is because the quality seems to be inconsistent and the tape feels a little thin for 2.7 mil thickness. Some of the tapes that I received in the 6 pack split in half around the middle easily when looking for the edge to put it in the tape dispenser while other rolls stayed together pretty well. The thickness of the rolls seems pretty consistent but still a little thin for my taste, its too bad the next level up in thickness is rather expensive per roll. Pros -------------- + Fits both the Uline H-325 and Uline H-596 tape dispensers. + True 3 wide core and 3 wide rolls of tape. + 5 more yards of tape, 0.1 more mil of thickness, for $2.08 less per roll than Ulines comparable tape (at the time of my review). + More easily available than Uline tape since Tape King is fulfilled by Amazon. Cons -------------- - The tape feels kind of thin for 2.7 mil thickness. - The quality seems inconsistent, some reviewers mentioned strong chemical smell, other reviewers mentioned yellowish color. - I experienced some rolls of tape splitting across the middle when I was looking for the edge to set it up in the tape gun, for 2.7 mil thickness tape I expected better. Conclusion -------------- While im not too sure about the quality and consistency of Tape Kings tape in real life applications vs the paper specs yet it certainly seems like a good bargain so far. If the quality of Tape Kings tape holds up well I will make it my go to tape whenever I need more tape for my Uline tape dispensers.

Greater than one weekI am a regular user of Tape Kings 2 packing tape and never realized that a 3 wide version was available. There are many instances where I use two strips of the narrower tape when one strip of the 3 would suffice. After having purchased this wider tape I find myself using it equally as often as the 2 version. Unfortunately I have not yet found a dispenser for this wider tape. Adhesion is very good, in some situations I find it better than the heavy duty 3M tape.
