Staples packing tape is great!

I've used more expensive brands and they often 'slide' through a tape holder making the strips longer than I want and wasting tape. Staples brand tape does not probably because the adhesive is stronger. Really like it!
I use to secure corrugated shipping boxes and afix shipping labels to the boxes and padded mailers. I prefer the heavier tape but it's pricier. The tape is lightweight and tends to wrinkle when applied. And it will roll back and stick on itself when on dispenser. Tends to break off on fingers when pulling it off dispenser. But it adheres well. When you get used to working with it the issues mentioned above are minimized.
Works well durable sticks well only gripe is the starter ... it's hard to tell where the starter is the old scraping with the finger nail trick didn't work ... actually hard to use a utility knife to cut the tape to make my own starter so I could use the tape. But for the price it's still a best buy.
I ship a lot of things including large envelopes. I like to wrap tape around the envelope for added strength. This tape is perfect for that. I tuck just a smidge of the tape under itself so that I can more easily find the end. I also use this when making small flash cards for my children. Much cheaper than laminating and always in my drawer-no machine necessary. This tape is very sticky and not very stiff so beware that it can fold over on itself quite easily. I use what I want and let the rool hang from our granite counter-top while I cut to size.
