Packing tape
on April 30, 2014
Posted by: Paula K.
I use packing tape to mail packages and other items and also when I need to put labels on items that are odd sizes and use it for that purpose too. I use it to strengthen the seams of envelopes so when mailed they do not come apart. I have a tape gun so the tape is easy to use and very useful when only one set of hands are available. The tape is strong and to the misnomer that more tape is better I have learned from past experiences that less is best and you get the same effect. So save tape and only tape a seam once.
I like the idea of a larger roll so as not having to reload as often. The negative part it is harder to unroll the tape. I guess maybe because it sticks better. What I also do like is it much easier to peel the tape of the rolls when first starting. The previous purchase on the smaller roll was very time consuming.
I use approximately 18 rolls of this per week. It's the only product on the market that will not fail you. Yes the price is higher than most however you will not have the roll shred on you you won't waste time trying to re enter roll onto tape dispenser. It does a good job and if you keep track of Staples coupons the price is well worth it. Did it hit 400 characters yet? Hope so.
Extra length rolls still fit the dispenser but last much longer. Excellent adhesion and strength. Perfect for see-through visibility to put over and protect the addreses on sipping labels.
Yes....I like this tape but it was expensive and I thought it would outperform the cheaper version sold by Staples. The mils were thicker (these) and i expected more. Next time i'll go back to the thinner mil tape.
I am a business owner and we ship small packages to very large packages. I usually have been using Duck EZ start because I found it less expensive to Scotch. I was hesitant to try Staples Heavy-Duty Storage as i had tried the standard Staples Packaging tape and was not satisfied (that is for my shipping needs here but for home use it would be sufficient). I have only been using it for a week so far and I am very pleased the price is better I got more per roll and the quality strength is right there to! I will say it is not as quiet as the Duck EZ Start but in shipping does noise really matter. Also this size roll barely fits on the tape dispenser but once on it is fine. Thank You Staples
