Purchased this product because of the price. Found that over time tape deteriorates and unless you use all of it quickly after purchasing it it deteriorates it becomes unusable so far I've had to throw away three of the roles
This is not something to use if you desire quality but then again this is tape so who cares?! Compared to name brands like Scotch this Staples brand feels like a cheap knockoff and it is. The adhesiveness makes it difficult to unroll when taping large surfaces like the top of a box. Vertical marks are left throughout as the roll uncoils. The horrible glue smell is the first thing you will notice. When the tape sits unused for too long it has a habit of suddenly tearing of more literally snapping off during use. The adhesiveness also dries out. But for the price compared to name brands you are paying less than half for the Staples brand. To compensate for the shortcomings just tape an extra layer and do it both vertically and horizontally over box lids to keep the lids sealed. Wasting more cheap tape still comes out cheaper than using a name brand roll single-layered. Face it this product is for those who want to package boxes and not spend too much. Do I care if my pen cost $0.50 or $500? As long as it can write it fulfills the job. Same concept with this tape.
EASY BUTTON GREAT PRODUCTS FROM STAPLES & FREE DELIVERY TOO! I DON'T EVEN HAVE TO GET OFF MY BUTT AND THEY COME DIRECTLY TO MY DOOR! YOU GOT TO LOVE THAT PART!
We moved our son from Michigan to Chicago Illinois and this tape worked well with previously used boxes from our local grocery store. The quality is great and the price is much better than other office supply businesses.
Sticky adhesive but extremely strong scented adhesive that is not pleasant! Foggy tape that is not clear and where I used this tape to place over address labels for my business that was not a good thing.
