The tape is strong and holds well. It does not splinter if you lose the beginning of the tape roll and have to use yor nails to start the roll again. Some less quality tapes splinter into different segments. This tape did not.
You have to be careful about tape because you usually get what you paid for! Not so with this product. The quality is excellent. Is NOT the kind of tape that is difficult to peel or re-start. Holds each package well. Had absolutely no problems or complaints about this. I priced around tape and found this to be a GREAT value and a great product. I would definitely buy again no problem.
I use this product for securing and mailing packages primarily. I also use it for adhering notices on my door when needed to tape things together in the house--any need that requires tape of this size. It has strength and durability. It is much easier to start and use than any other tape I have used.
This is the worst packing tape I've ever used. The tabs of the dispenser break off instantly and then the end of the tape goes right back on the roll. When that happens you'll never find the end. If you do find the end and peel it the tape will split and you'll pull off a splinter. When that happens toss the unused roll or you'll spend hours getting it useable again. I threw it away and grabbed a similar roll of 3M tape. What a superior product then this Staples branded garbage.
I will never try to save a buck by buying this tape again! The tape will not stay inside the tabs that keep it from sticking back to itself so it does that nearly every time you tear a piece off. Then you can't get it peeled back off the roll except in tiny shreds that won't allow you to get back to the full width of the tape. I threw it away and went back to Scotch.
