Please bring back the old (better) tape

We have used the Scotch transparent tape for many years to attach book jackets to books, here at our regional public library. It has worked wonderfully until we opened the first roll from our recent reorder. The tape is thinner, not as sticky, and more difficult to tear off of the tape dispenser.
The added effort to tear the tape off of the dispenser is going to slow down our overall rate of book processing, but what we are most concerned about is the possibility of our book jackets coming untaped because of the reduced adhesive power of the changed tape. Our books are used heavily, and we need sturdy, sticky tape to keep the covers on them.
Please let me know where I can purchase the industrial version of your transparent tape, because we are not confident that this newer version will hold up to the normal wear and tear of library use.
Thank you.

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your Rating and Review of the Scotch(R) Transparent Tape. In October, 2013 we will begin shipping a new version of Scotch® Transparent Tape on a 3 inch core. This change is being made to minimize the confusion between our product sold in consumer retailers and the product sold through Industrial Distributors. The tape construction for both these tapes has historically been the same, using a UPVC backing. However, the construction for Consumer 1 inch core tapes is made from a different film so the product line was inconsistent in appearance and functionality. Additionally, the intended applications for each of these products vary greatly with the Industrial product being heavily used in electronics and garment applications and the Consumer products use is typically in general home and office use. This has caused a number of issues in the marketplace and with this change it will now create consistency in the Consumer 600 Transparent Tape construction utilizing one film only.
The Industrial version is still available for purchase through some standard retailer's without the paperboard box in bulk form. For more information on this change and Where To Buy information on the Industrial version, please contact us directly at 1-800-328-6276 and reference Case ID# 5515251. We are available Monday through Friday from 8:00 - 4:30 CT. Please watch for a direct reply as well. Thank you for your feedback and we hope to hear from you soon!
Have been using this tape at work to cover our labels. New version is thinner and does not stick as well. Bring back the industrial strenght or offer it as a seperate order number.
