We ordered this product for our office. This is a heavy duty dispenser is way better than the cheaper plastic models. Well worth the little extra you pay for much better quality. I would highly recommend for everyday/business use.
Staples Lightweight Moving and Storage Packing Tape with Dispenser

I like it but was a little disappointed when I realized that it is double wide. I didn't realize this when I purchased it. But it works & that is ultimately what I need.
I don't remember seeing the 'LIGHTWEIGHT' in the description prior to ordering. I felt the 2 rolls that were packaged with the dispenser lacked the strength to suit my shipping needs. The next day upon receiving the STAPLES 6-pack of tapes I placed a roll in the dispenser and was pleased to see the results were what I was expecting. I then TOSSED out the original 2/rolls and completed the task easily with the STAPLES tapes. I would rate the STAPLES brand tape a 5+.
This Packaging Tape Dispenser is able to withstand the constant use from our carton packers. It does not fall apart like the other brands. The side panel is reinforced.
Mine is red but this is the product number. Very difficult to load. There is a brace to keep the tape on the roller that actually sticks to the tape and jams it. Very poor design. It is impossible to use with one hand because you can't get the tape started rolling since it's stuck to the brace.
Been looking for a 3" wide tape and dispenser off and on for quite a while (3-4 months) for taping shipping boxes. This 3" wide tape works so well that now am looking for a desk dispenser for the 3" tape. Been using 2" wide tape for cardboard shipping boxes with hand and desk dispensers but like the 3" more for shipping boxes.
