Scotch Heavy Duty Packing Tape with Dispenser 1.88 Inch X 800 Inch

Great tape. It tears off easily not like some others that I have purchased.

It does tape stuff like it's supposed to.

I bought this shipping/packaging 3M Scotch 1.88 inch wide "Heavy Duty" tape roll/dispenser combination in 2013. I don't ship much from home so I did not need much. Back then I believe I received 15 yards(45 feet/540 inches) of tape which is less than the 800 inches( 66.6 feet/ 22.2 yards) sold now. This small roll of tape was usually very useful when I had to ship(return) stuff back to Amazon(tape up the Amazon boxes and attach labels printed on a printer). I don't have a large size tape dispenser/"gun" at home so this combination is very useful. I also used it in 2013 when I had to move for several months to a location more than 1,000 miles away, I taped up boxes of things/stuff I would need and put them in the back of an SUV and drove that distance on all types of roads, when I got to my location all the boxes were still sealed(some were difficult to re-open with the tools I had then where I had used several layers of this tape). I actually forgot the roll of this tape I bought on Amazon at home so I went to a store and bought another one(same kind) and then used it to pack for the return trip. Some of the boxes I had taped up in 2013 are now in storage so this tape has held up for that long. Amazon's own custom made tape usually dries up and detaches from boxes after several months. I have used cheaply made shipping/packaging tape before, my 2 jobs where I had to pack and tape something both had cheap thin tape which did not stick right to the surface or ripped(disintegrated) easily. I at times wondered whether I was doing something wrong, the bosses got angry when I used "too much" tape because I did not feel that cheap tape would hold together. Scotch's "Heavy Duty" tape does not look or feel cheap, also being "Made in the USA" you know the company is not cutting corners(intentionally reducing quality and outsourcing) to "maximize profits and dividends" like so many other companies who now sell junk. Both of my rolls ran out of tape this year(2015) after very infrequent use. So if you use this kind of tape every day this is not for you. I looked for "refill" tape and this is the only one I could find: Scotch DP-1000RF6 Packaging Tape, 1.88 Inches x 900 Inches (6-Pack) I needed shipping tape to return some items to Amazon and was not ready to wait "2 to 4 weeks" so I bought a larger roll/dispenser of Scotch's "Sure Start" tape which will allow me to use larger 54.6 yard "standard" rolls in the future. Update 10/5/15 I was able to use the refill tape in the link above in the dispensers for this tape.

Good price

I have used this packing tape for many years and find no reason to try anything else. It's dependable and durable.

Thank you.

This tape works great

It's tape

Indispensable pour le bureau et les envois postaux, excellent produit malheureusement difficile à trouver.

ok

We thought we would have to go to America to buy another roll of this wonderful sticky tape - but no, with Amazon prime we had replacements the next day. The best thing about it is that it comes in a dispenser that actually works! No more tangled up tape!

La cinta es de un material muy grueso y resistente a la fuerza de estiramiento, es un util tambien que se pueda cortar con el cortador incluido. Ya lo probé con papel (bond y opalina) y plástico (polipapel, o nylon) es muy resistente, pero por ejemplo con otros tipos de materiales como cartón o algunos con texturas irregulares, esta cinta no agarra, asi que dependiendo del uso que se le vaya a dar es un buen maskin o no.

Really good packing tape for shipping boxes. The tape feels thick and strong and sticks well without needing several layers. I also really like the included dispenser because it makes applying and cutting the tape much easier. It has been reliable for keeping packages securely closed.
