I have been using Staples packaging tape for some time now. As part of Saugus Miliary Famlies we use it to seal packages going overseas to our deployed service men and women. Packages always arrive completely intact and returned packages also survive the double shipping in good condition. I am especially pleased to be able to buy the 36 roll package which results in quite a savings over slingle rolls.
It's Sticky and we like Sticky!!! We have to use a package tape that seals our boxes for shipment that we can depend on. Our company has tried the other brands but we always commit to Staples brand packaging tape. We prefer the two inch wide and three inch wide packaging tape. Other departments in this plant depend on Staples packaging tapes to get their jobs done as well. We depend on Staples brand products to help us do our jobs effectively with the quality our customers expect from Image Screen Printing.
We use this shipping tape exclusively for parcels up to 50 lbs. with no problems. We also use for taping postage mailing labels onto envelopes when shipping first-class packages. The Staples brand is a great value.
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.
