Trusted Hold, though Opaque
on February 27, 2026
Posted by: A Stanley
from Greenville, SC
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Scotch Heavy Duty Recycled Packaging Tape for free in exchange for my honest opinion. Over the years, I’ve gone through a lot of packing tape — moving boxes, mailing packages, kids’ projects — and this performs exactly like the Scotch tape most of us already trust, with the added benefit of the tape backing being made from 100% recycled plastic.
After using it for various purposes, I can say that the tape holds just as well as traditional packaging tape! Thanks to the dispenser, it feeds smoothly and cuts easily. Once applied, the tape stays down, which is great for shipping boxes that need to hold tight during their (sometimes perilous) journey.
The one thing to know ahead of time is that the tape itself is opaque, not clear, which is fine so long as you know what that will impact. For example, I wouldn't seal over an address label or use this tape for craft purposes where crisp visibility matters (book covers, stickers, etc). But for sealing boxes and the like, it works perfectly!
Overall, the tape is dependable, easy to use with the dispenser, and a nice option if you want to make a small environmentally-conscious switch without sacrificing performance. I highly recommend it as an everyday packaging tape!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best of Two Worlds
on February 26, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is the best of two worlds in my opinion. The tape is super strong and the size of the roll is large enough to do a lot of boxes but not so large that you cannot hold it comfortably in your hand.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Crystal clear, strong, no need to put multiple strips of tape to hold the irem closed, comes off smooth as being used, the tape holder isn't to big for small hands. Received as a free sample. Would recommed it to others.

Thick, strong, and recycled. Love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a free sample of this heavy duty recycled tape from 3M in exchange for my honest review. This tape is thicker than any tape I have bought in the last several years! It’s great that it comes with a sturdy metal tape cutter because without that you would need scissors to cut it. I feel confident that my boxes will stay sealed and the contents dry while being shipped. I included a photo showing how it has a slightly hazy appearance. The haze shows up well on a white box, but blends pretty good on a brown box. Some people might find that to be a negative, but I think it’s a worthy trade-off for being able to have a quality recycled product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this Scotch Heavy Duty Recycled Packaging Tape from 3M as a free product to try, and I’m really impressed. It’s thick, super strong, and sticks well to boxes without peeling up. The dispenser cuts cleanly and makes packing easy. I also like that it’s made from 100% recycled plastic. Overall, it’s a durable, reliable tape I’d definitely use again.

Excellent hold/adhesion, easy to use, the dispenser is great with built in cutting tool. Highly recommend. Great for shipping/packaging boxes, holding/bundling cardboard together, etc.

Teacher Tecommended

from Alpharetta, GA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As an elementary school teacher, this tape is a miracle worker. Taping name tags onto desks can be a pain because the kids pick at the tape. Not with this tape, it’s strong and holds up well to little fingers picking at it.

Scotch Heavy Duty Recycled Packaging Tape
on February 24, 2026
Posted by: mommadi
from Worcester, MA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I volunteer to evaluate products for 3M, and the company sent me a free sample of the heavy duty recycled package tape. I have tried it on some packages and it worked great. Easy to pull off the roll, and the blade on the dispenser is very sharp to cut the tape. The dispenser is refillable also! I have had no issues when using this tape. Comes off dispenser easy and stays put once on the package.
I would recommend this to a friend!
