This is my second time purchasing this tape as I'm having to pack up many boxes. The previous package of tape was okay and sometimes would become unstuck if you didn't take extra care to really smooth it to the box. This purchase is much better! The tape is heavier and sticks better. I don't know if a different run/lot or a different manufacturer but very pleased with this purchase. I used "ship to store" to save on shipping and found it very easy to use. Had no idea it was that easy so will be using that option again.
