I was trying to tape up boxes for packaging/shipping but the tape was falling apart. It kept ripping before I had a full piece. The tape was sticky enough but difficult to use and just generally was low quality.
I have used this before and will again. For the money this is just fine for lightweight shipping. Would I trust to big boxes with heavy items? I don't know b/c that is not what I use it for but it has never broken on me. It is not as thick as packing tape but it does not claim to be. Can't be beat for the price/savings/value.
We sell online and ship hundreds of orders a month so we're very familiar with package tape. This tape has not failed us yet we've been using it for almost a year now. As long as Staples sells it and it remains the value it is we will continue to buy this tape exclusively.
