The packing tape is very good. I use it for shipping my eBay products all the time. I have never experienced a problem with the way it held or the way it comes out of my dispenser.
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.
If you want to pack a box of clothing or something else light this will work. Do not trust it for heavy loads such as larger boxes of books or valuable nick-knacks. If you must use it triple it. Use three layers for each closure. I only bought this package of tape because the one I selected form the website (which claimed to be on the shelf in the store and would have cost about $12) was not on the shelf in the store when I arrived. The next strength up was about a whopping $27. I picked this cheaper option.
