Accomplishes multiple things

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Staples Double-Sided Tape has come in handy the last few weeks for my busy family of 5. It’s served a few purposes: - I found a new seamless way to gift wrap. - my kids use it to make multi-dimensional art work - At work I’ve used it for planning project purposes with large post its and business cards It’s been a good experience so far it does what it claims to do and should do. It does take a bit of work with a long fingernail (thank goodness I have) to separate the 2nd piece. Also once in awhile the tape doesn’t want to stick correctly from the dispenser so when I go to rip it it won’t do so well. However once you can get the tape off from the dispenser and the protective film from the top side it seems to work well/ The business cards used as work have stayed hanging up on the large post-it notes so far. The only thing that would be nice is if it were easier to be removable but I also think that defeats the purpose of the intended use

Not the best but not the worst

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product in exchange for my honest review. I would not purchase this on my own. I used the Staples double sided tape to simply tape a piece of lightweight ribbon to a glass flower vase. It only marginally holds the ribbon in place with one area not sticking at all after 15 minutes. Paper to paper works great but it does not seem to like other surfaces.

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.

Perfect for Posters

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This double-sided tape was perfect for putting together a poster board display! The dispenser made it easy to use and the tape held the printed papers firmly to the poster backing. I wouldn’t suggest this if you think you’ll need to reposition your items since the grip was fairly strong. I plan to use it in the future to attach photos into a scrapbook/memory book.

Crafty tape

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This double sided tapes come on a convenient dispenser. The dispenser makes it better than other tapes I have tried but that is where the benefits stop. It is not very strong I intended to use the tape to attach alphabet card stock letters across the top of my sons room. One letter with 8 three- inch pieces of tape would not hold I gave up and used regular old tape rolled up. My 5 year old was able to use the tape to attach post it notes together and that seemed to hold so far. This tape did not really support my purposes. The 3 stars are for the dispenser which is a much more convenient way to store double sided tape.

good double stick tape

from Los Angeles
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These double-stick tape dispensers are exactly what they are supposed to be. Sticky on both sides decent thickness without being too thick. Strong and sturdy enough to not get tangled and stuck to itself. Easy to unstick from itself if you do accidentally get stuck. Durable and reliable double-stick tape. The only thing I would have taken off half a star for is that on the first try it gave me trouble tearing with the original dispenser's plastic serrated tape blade. But as I used it more I got used to tearing it at a better angle and didn't run into this problem again. The 3-pack is convenient because I can keep one at home and work at the office and have an extra for when either of those run out. Would definitely buy again if I had uses for more double-stick tape!

Reliable and easy to use tape dispenser

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can easily tear off pieces of tape and while it’s convenient for quick projects it does have some limitations. The pre loaded double sided tape is strong enough for most craft and office projects/tasks sticks well to paper cardboard and light materials. However since it’s designed for one time use it feels a bit wasteful. The plastic housing is functional and durable the cutting edge seems to work fine for getting clean cuts of the tape. It’s nice that it’s compact lightweight which is easy for use and the tape itself is strong for the crafts and art projects I used it on. My daughter had to tape some cut out shapes to cardboard for a class project and it worked out nicely and much cleaner than using glue. Sticks well and seems durable! Overall this product has been good to use and will look forward to trying it on gift wrapping as well!

Crafter Essential

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tape works just as well as name brand for all sorts of crafting projects from scrapbooking to framing to homemade card-making. The long roll length makes it ideal for larger or more frequent taping needs and the transparency helps all applications look clean and neat. My only criticism is that it doesn't hold up well to thicker rougher surfaces like glitter card stock or textured paper. For those you might need stronger adhesives like craft glue.
