Not the worst but not the best

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product in exchange for my honest opinion. I honestly wouldn't buy the Staples double-sided tape on my own. Aside from taping paper to my wall the only other thing I used it for was to attach a very lightweight piece of ribbon to a glass flower vase. It did not hold to the glass after fifteen minutes.

Sticky and well packaged

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have recently used the Staples Double-Sided Tape and also received the refills! This tape is very sticky and well packaged. I have not used all of the roll that came with the dispenser but the refills seem to be of the same quality and we will continue to use this brand in our family!

Great tape

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great tape - works like double sided tape. No issues or problems. Works like all the other double sided tape I've ever used but can probably save a little money with the store brand! It was nice it comes with the dispensers - my kids and I used it for a variety of school projects and they all came out great.

Nice alternative to traditional tape

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The refills are super helpful to be able to use with normal tape dispenser which allow for durability and convenience without fumbling with the plastic non refill able dispensers. Easy to put into the dispenser and switch out as needed. The tape itself is long lasting and very sticky and easy to cut with the tape cutter. It was easy to use for my kids school project and a lot less messy than using glue or glue sticks. The tape has held up well on different materials including cardboard and construction paper so far. It will be nice to use for gift wrapping as well since way to use one handed. Will continue to use for different projects and tasks!

You will need a dispenser to put this into but if you have one you should be all set - my kids and I used it for a variety of school projects and they all came out great.

Not a refill for this same brand dispensers

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product in exchange for my honest feedback. I want to start by saying that the tape itself is excellent. It is durable without being thick it holds really well without leaving a residue like some foamy double sided tapes do and it's very sticky and strong. I've found so many uses around the house that I really believe this is a great product to have around. The one thing I don't like about these refills is that they cannot be used to refill the Staples 1/2" Double-Sided Tape with Dispenser that I also own. The tape itself is the same but these refills have much more tape on them (25 yards vs the dispenser's 13.8 yds) and so the roll is thicker and completely fills the inside of the dispenser and then sticks to it! The roll cannot spin in the dispenser because it sticks to the sides from having so much more tape on the roll. With that said these rolls DO fit on standard tape dispensers but I had anticipated just being able to use them on my existing tape dispenser from the same brand not to have to go out and buy a dedicated tape dispenser for double sided tape. This roll also is too sticky to use without a tape dispenser - trying to use it on its own just did not work well and I kept getting lint stuck to the outer layer of tape. However if you have a spare dispenser for this the tape itself is really great! Overall I would recommend this product just know that it cannot be used on the Staples Double-Sided Tape dispensers. My picture shows the difference in size of the 13.8 yards vs the 25 yard refill roll on the same dispenser and that the 25 yard roll can't turn in the dispenser.

So many uses

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Staples Double-Sided Tape with Dispenser 1/2" x 13.8 yds 3pk in exchange for my honest review. This was a product I never realized how much I needed! I just keep finding more ways to use this. This double stick tape is so handy to have around and having a dispenser that cuts it is so convenient - I don't have to find my chronically lost scissors to use it! So far I've re-attached corner protectors on my bookshelf stuck my kids' art projects to my windows made custom greeting cards and made a last-minute emergency (temporary) hem repair on some work trousers. The tape is sticky enough that it holds well even after some handling while placing it but not so sticky that it leaves a residue like some foamy double sided tape products do. I also like that this tape doesn't require me to peel a backing off which is always a pain. I can just dispense it right from the dispenser and I'm done. One small issue I had was some confusion about the protective layer it comes with when you first open the tape. There's a layer of plastic (labeled as a protective layer) wrapped all around the circumference of the tape roll and I had thought this was something that needed to be separated from the tape (like a backing) and spent and embarrassingly long time trying to peel it away from the tape underneath. It turns out this is just a layer of non-sticky plastic attached to the end of the tape that should just be pulled off through the dispenser and then cut off and disposed of and the real tape starts after this plastic is cut off. Oops. This wasn't really an issue with the tape just me not understanding how the protective layer worked. I'm including this so maybe someone else out there won't get frustrated trying to separate this layer from the tape. Other than that small issue I had this tape has been perfect and I will happily buy more when I run out. Given how much comes on each roll and how little I need to stick things down effectively though I don't expect to run out for a long time.

Basic tape

from Springfield
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was not very impressed by this tape. I did not feel it had great strength and it was unable to hold a small piece of cardstock to the wall. It was easy to unroll and rip but it and was able to hold small pieces of tape together. It was good for childrens projects but that's about it. I prefer basic tape rolled together as opposed to this double sided tape.
