The tape was a last minute substitute for the type I saw on the website that was not on the shelf in the store. The one I wanted was about $2 a roll. This was 6 rolls for $10 and claimed to be standard. The next price up was $26 for 6 rolls and I was not about to shell that out. The tape is hard to use because it is so thin that pealing it off the roll often tears it wasting an inch or tow at a time. I am tripling it up to avoid a box opening so I have no confidence in its ability to hold the box closed. I will not be purchasing this product again.
I use a lot of packaging tape when ;preparing articles for gift-giving/preparation of gift baskets for charitable causes. This material is not too heavy yet is very strong and durable. I know that when I use it there will not be any further problems with the wrapped articles eve when I sometimes have to tape things in place at different angles. So when you see this item at your Staples store go right ahead and purchase it with the confidence that it will be well worth the cost--which is very economical.
When I first saw the package I was wondering if it would be a good buy. It is. There are six tapes and they are of good quality and are at a reasonable price...Staples brand. I would definitely recommend this product to others. I am using them for sealing mailing packages and also to tape different itmes together e.g. when making up gift baskets which I do in my volunteer activities. It is well worth checking the Staples aisles for their home brands. They all seem to measure up to the commercial brands and are definitely more of an economical buy.
