This is a good value and is a fine mid-grade. Its best use is for taping boxes to ship or for other uses where it doesn't have to be removed. It is TERRIBLE to use when it will need to be removed from any hard surface. This stuff defeats even Goo-Gone!! The only way to get it off is soak in Goo Gone for about 20 minutes and then scrapescrapescrape. It splits in layers and the upper layer comes off but not the adhesive. I had been using it to tape price tags on glass & other hard surfaced items but it DEFIES being removed - customer actually returned an item!!! Looking for a good substitute and won't use it again EVER for that purpose!!! YES would recommend but ONLY for packaging/throwaway. NO I would not recommend for any use in which it must be removed afterwards.
Disappointed in quality! I think I should have spent the extra & gone with the name-brand tape. Most Staples brand products are great but this is definitely lighter weaker & all around not as good (sticks to itself a lot)as the name-brand counterpart. Disappointed
This tape is just perfect for my needs. I have a small internet business and I ship about 20 packages per week. Previously I had used packing tape from other retail stores and I couldn't find one grade of tape that was ideal: either the tape was too thick or too thin too sticky or not sticky enough. I decided to try this product- Staples Standard Grade Packaging Tape- and I will definitely be buying it again! The adhesive is good the thickness is just right and the price is very reasonable. I have only used this tape for closing shipping boxes and applying shipping labels but it feels as though you could use it for hefty jobs as well.
