Staples packaging tape is a good value for what it is. Used primarily for securing boxes and envelopes for shipping I find it be be quite adequate. My only complaint is that once the two sticky sides stick together they are impossible to get apart and you have to cut it off and start over. I've tried other brands that don't do this but they don't stick to the package very well either. I'll take the extremely sticky tape over the less so any day. I do believe the cost was still too high for what it's used for but I can't find anything cheaper.
This tape is OK for light sealing of small packages boxes for storage in the home - light duty. I should have paid more attention to the label because I wanted a heavy weight strong glue tape to seal and send a large Christmas package to another state. My fault in buying this one. Also I would prefer to buy less rolls with more tape on each roll so that one roll lasts longer in the dispenser hence changing it less often.
A few rolls did not dispense properly - the tape kept tearing while dispensing and I had to use a different roll. This negates the advantage of buying in quantity.
