I especially like the 2" width masking tape and specifically the Staples house brand. I would recommend stocking it at stores by default but ordering for pick up in store was very easy!
Like most store brand items this is not a quality item. Slightly thinner than brand name tape so it continually rips while peeling it from the roll. Also not good for anything g you are taping with tension on it. It will burst open.
This tape holds against humidity. You can display anything on a wall or wooden surface and not worry that over time your posts will fall. From a teacher's perspective it's the best for decorating your classroom.
This masking tape is surprisingly usable from the roll - in other words you can unroll it without it breaking every 2 inches or so like most el cheapo tape. That is a great feature considering it is a basic house brand product. Like the old days you can actually use it for its intended purpose. And you can write on it without it "bleeding" through. Good stuff for the cost.
This is just plain old masking tape - picked it up because it was on clearance - the package was old and a little too sticky - is tape supposed to have an expiration date??
Always buy Staples brand products when possible. They have consistent high quality and competitive pricing. Highly recommend this product. Easily competes with higher priced brand names.
