Sticks to Itself Better than its Target
on December 26, 2013

Only one size roll and one color available standard gray. I would have bought a bright color had it been available. More expensive in the long run than at other stores; a large roll should be discounted. Very light-weight stuck to itself better than to the boxes I was shipping. No fibers to bolster the strength so it had to be cut and stretched rather than tearing. Smells bad like bad plastic and imparted its smell to the items in the boxes. Next time I'll buy the smaller brightly colored rolls from a grocery store rather than buying at Staples. I was there and thought that it would be efficient for me to get all my packing supplies at one place but it turned out to be a mistake.
At the time I bought this product for my photo studio I was in a rush to get duct tape before a shoot. It appeared to be pretty decent value and I am sure it is for lightweight use. However as I use duct tape to hold down seamless backdrop paper to carpeted flooring and want to put it on and forget about it for anything up to six hours this product unfortunately did not serve my purpose. I found the adhesive to not be a sticky as I expected resulting in the tape lifting from the carpeting in a matter of minutes rather than remaining in place for the time I needed and I spent more time pressing it back down than photographing my client. Having said that I am sure that in a domestic situation it will perform perfectly well.
I bought 2 rolls of Staples® Acrylic Utility Duct Tape Silver Standard Grade 2" x 60 yrds 1 Roll. It works great under normal circumstances. Unfortunately I needed to use it on a rainy day... not so great! It is not comparable to "Duck" duct tape when it comes to damp situations. But for dry jobs it is great. And certinally much more cost affective. They had tons of fun colors too! I just got the silver for what I was doing at the time but I was very tempted by the neons and prints that I saw. Maybe next time.
