Great Shipping tape!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Scotch sure start shipping packaging tape exceeded my expectations. So easy to unwind and use. The tape was durable and held up even with heavy packages. Would recommend to anyone using a different brand of packaging tape.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good Tape, Dispenser Not Always Needed
on August 12, 2019

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The tape itself did the job I need it to do, but I did have to press down on it with my hands to make sure it stuck to my boxes. Excellent clarity for taping on shipping labels. The dispenser is useful for larger boxes, but as I was shipping out smaller packages, it felt a bit unwieldy to use.

Taping a large, heavy box? Easy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently had to tape shut a large, heavy box. Scotch Easy Unwind Packaging Tape made it simple. It was easy to find the end of the roll of tape and it unwound smoothly using one hand.
3M provided a free sample of this product for me to evaluate.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The tape is great, just like all 3M packing tapes. Good quality and keeps my boxes and packages sealed tight. Easy to use the first time and the next.
I received the 3M - Scotch® Sure Start Shipping Packaging Tape for free in exchange for my feedback.

Easy to peel off the roll
on August 14, 2019

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this product for free in exchange for my honest review. I regularly use tape around the house and office; my major problem is to start the tape, it does take time and I was excited to find out there is a tape that won’t have this problem. So far, I can say the tape is super easy to start, I just love to spend my time in the actual packaging rather than the tape going messy on me. I don’t give this product 5 stars just because I need to verify how good it stays in place over time.

Easy to use!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great product ... for someone who ships a fair amount of items, I love this tape and dispenser. The tape is easy to start off the roll and doesn't screech when it comes off like some others do. It cuts smoothly and easily enough on the dispenser and holds well to my package. Great product and easy to use which saves me time!

I wish every roll of tape was like this

This tape is easy to peel off from the roll once you find an edge and is palpably thick and robust. Seems like it would have good tensile strength.

I had no trouble peeling it off the roll, which was a totally unprecedented experience. It was remarkable how I only had to try to find the edge once, and once I did the tape would simply come off. With other tape, I look for the edge with a fingernail, then use my fingernail to get under it. This usually tears and offers a sliver of usable tape, so the "fingernail digging" process must be repeated several times until the sliver is big enough to get the full width of tape elevated. Once you elevate Sure Start tape, it has a reduced tendency to fall back down and even when it does, it tends not to lay perfectly flat so it is easy to find the edge again.
Adhesion to a standard corrugated cardboard box was strong but not extraordinary. Some tape, like Scotch Heavy Duty, seems to stick and lay flat on just about any surface. I felt confident with the hold and the workability of the Sure Start tape, but it was not a "knock my socks off" kind of hold. Still way better than the budget, extra-thin tape that I have used in the past where the ends would start to peel off from the package spontaneously. For shipping something heavy, I would still be included to overlap the tape and complete a full revolution around the box so that you have tape-on-tape contact keeping your box closed rather than just tape-on-box contact.
As one might imagine, some compromise between adhesion to a box and cohesion between the layers of a roll has to be stricken. This tape does a good job of that. The cohesion is easy to overcome beyond compare, which is really this tape's biggest selling point. As far as adhesion to packaging, this tape does OK.
