No Stick To It

I have had this roll of Scotch Shipping Tape laying in a drawer for about a year. Pulled it out and was going to tape a package for my sister, but there is no glue on the tape. It keeps rolling off the reel and sticks to NOTHING!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

So much easier than a tape gun. Very easy to use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the holder. Much easier to use rather than using a tape gun. Works great for taping up broken down boxes and hanging things. Easy to hold and strong. Decent amount of tape included in the spool - 55 yards
I would recommend this to a friend!

Tough, sticky tape
on April 30, 2022
Posted by: Canadan
from Dallas, TX
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having worked in the moving industry during college, I have a LOT of experience with packing tape and have taped tens of thousands of boxes. This tape is tough...it's thick and strong, and will stretch without breaking easily. It's also very sticky...not likely to come unglued. And last but not least, the roll is 50 meters long, so you won't be looking for a new roll after every few boxes. It also came with a dispenser, which makes it more convenient to dispense the tape.
My only questions are: Will it perform as well in freezing temperatures? Will it dry out and lose its grip on boxes that are stored for years? Too soon to tell.

Great Packaging Tape with a Few Hick-ups
on May 19, 2022
Posted by: Marge
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a free sample of 3M Scotch Heavy Duty Packaging Tape and used this product to seal a package to mail. I had difficulty getting the tape started. There is a "tab" that appears to be the starting point, but in fact the tape ran over and past this point, so I struggled to find the beginning of the roll. Also, there is a piece of cardboard that says "remove here" that protects the cutting blade edge which is a great safety feature. However once I removed the cardboard where indicated, the cutting edge was still covered up with part of the attached cardboard, thus making cutting the tape difficult. I tried to remove the residual cardboard tab, but it is well secured, so I was not successful. I don't know if that little tab that remains is supposed to be left on for protection of the blade, or removed, but if left on, the cutting edge is blocked, and if it is to be removed, I cannot figure out how to do so without cutting myself on the cutting edge! However the tape itself is wonderful! It dispensed very easily and smoothly. I cannot tear it, which assures secure sealing. It has it's own dispenser, which would be very handy except for the above issues. It is clear tape, so you can see where you are putting it which is obviously important when sealing a seam or package edges. I love the tape and would recommend it for anyone's packaging needs.

Good once you figure it out

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Maybe I'm dense but I have a hard time getting the tape set up on the dispenser/tape breaker. I don't use packing tape frequently enough to remember how to start a new roll. Once I finally manage though, it works just fine. Used it to repair dried up tape on some old cardboard boxes used for storage and it worked well. The tape is sticky and of the good quality I'm used to from 3M tapes. The dispenser/tape breaker part seems well made and does what it needs to. Says it's heavy duty, I think it will hold up just fine for packages or items that might get a bit of a rougher treatment. I received this product for free in exchange for an honest review.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Look no more, this tape does it all!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was thrilled to have Scotch Heavy Duty Shipping Packaging Tape available to seal my return! I needed to return a box filled with multiple heavy items. This tape was amazing for getting a very neat and tight seal when closing. The dispenser made stretching the tape across the box a breeze. The serrated cutting edge was efficient when I needed to clip the end of the tape. I would highly recommend this when you want a high performance seal with ease of use.

The tape kept getting stuck to the roll instead of staying up in the prongs. I then have to spend 5 minutes trying to get a clean thread!!
I've been using this tape every week for months and itns always the same problem. Its worthless!
