ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE TAPE! (There is so little adhesive that it barely sticks to paper - no joke)

I used to use Duck Crystal Clear 3" Tape exclusively but about 10 years ago switched to the Staples version as it was identical in every way (54.6 yards 2.6mil crystal clear etc) but at half the cost. I would special order the 6-roll package every year or two and was always very satisfied. HOWEVER THIS NEW STAPLES TAPE IS HORRIBLE!!! The two things that made this tape stand out before were its extreme thickness (3.1 mil) that when taped front and back was thick as a laminated document and the incredible adhesive that would stick to just about any surface providing the strongest bond possible. When they reduced the thickness to 2.6mil I was disappointed but it was still one o f the best tapes out there so I continued buying it but this newest version is so bad I would hesitate to even call it "tape". I can only assume that something went wrong in the manufacturing process as the "adhesive" on this tape would have trouble sticking to paper and would fail miserably on most other surfaces. I can only assume that Staples is aware of this as they have been selling it 35-40% cheaper than in years past. I can honestly say that if they gave it away for free I would still not recommend using it as it really is that bad... oh well back to Duck Brand I guess...

I was expecting the standard width to fit into my dispenser but this tape is wider. I then purchased a new dispenser to be able to use this tape. It’s stronger and holds better so I think I will like it. Just know you are buying a wider than standard size.

This is really wide tape. It didn’t say that in the title. Otherwise fine.
