We use this tape for shipping because we do a lot of overseas shipments...it's a good quality strong tape. But frankly it's overpriced. All tape is. Expect to pay 5 bucks a roll... it's nuts.
I have used it for several years to seal shipping cartons especially USPS Priority boxes. I have a hand-held applicator that makes it easy to apply. Have successfully shipped cartons weighing up to 20 pounds.
This tape is excellent. But the price is through the roof. Each time I buy it I tell myself find another product that's cheaper but never get around to it. The quality is there. When you need the package to stay packed in all kinds of temperature this is the tape. It's storage tape but we use it for shipping. At almost 5.00 a roll it's something we need to quit.
Works great and saves us tons of time when shipping many packages. We have mounted the 3" tape dispenser to our shipping area and it is a breeze to rip and tear the pieces. The tape is much more expensive but saves us time and energy.
We own a business that ships over a 3 state area. We ship sporting goods: helmets shoulder pads mouth guards socks and much more. The tape shredded easily was not heavy duty. We have been Staples customers for a very long time. We have purchased tape at the Staples store near us and we are quite angry with the quality of the product we have ordered.
I like this tape cause it's wide. Instead of having to put several pieces on the box one does it. This is why i buy it. Problem is: 1. again grossly overpriced. 2. the rolls don't carry too much tape. From a consumer's point of view it's too expensive...i'm searching for a replacement and have yet to find one.
