Cheap tape is very utilitarian

I ended up with this grade of tape because I was looking for the cheapest bargain I could find to wrap packages for shipping. I tend to use more tape than necessary even with the thickest and best quality I use too much double wrapping it. So I can get away with this for packages and so far it has worked great. Nobody has complained about their package coming apart or bursting during shipment. This tape can actually help increase the sturdiness of a shipping box. My only complaint about it is that the residue is incredibly nasty to try to get off glass and china. I had used it to tape labels to pieces and will NOT do this again !!
Tape works great but it would be so much easier if the pack came with one dispenser so that we didn't waste so much tape by cutting and searching for the end. Unfortunately our dispenser didn't fir the rools were to big.
After our annual library book sale we had to tape up lots of boxes of left over books. We have a couple of old dispenser and one new dispenser. We have many volunteers who have to be able to handle the equipment they're given. These rolls were easy to load onto the dispensers and performed without jamming or tangling. The tape is Standard-Grade but strong enough for our purpose and the price was right.
The standard-grade packaging tape is a medium-weight tape that meets my box-assembly and shipping needs with very few issues. I prefer to use it with a dispenser in order to avoid having the tape stick to itself. When it does stick to itself it will sometimes split in the process of removing it. If it sticks to any other surface it does not come off easily so it will definitely stay sealed. The clarity of the surface allows me to attach shipping labels without fear that I will block any of the bar codes or address information.
