The Staples brand has never failed me over the years nor after using it on thousands of packages recently... yet i have had major failures from another brand which is much higher priced and a major name brand in the tape industry. My only complaint is that it is hard to find at my neighborhood Staples sooooo when it is in stock we try to buy a year's supply but with increasing sales in this economic depression that's not always possible.
use it primaraly for shipping boxes have used for moving boxes. great product holds well and is a good price compared to other products sold at staples.
