Not the bargain I though I was getting

I have bought Staples branded tape in the past It was almost as expensive as 3M but of equivalent quality. When I saw this 6-pack I thought I was getting a bargain for buying in bulk. When I put the first roll on the tape gun I realized my mistake. It is thin though it may be strong. But a drop of static makes it twist on itself and sticks the adhesive surfaces together forcing me to throw out a couple of feet of product. This does NOT happen with the more expensive tape. But in the store I did not notice any visible difference in the product description.
I was helping my daughter pack for a long distanse move and found out what she was paying for her packing tape and when she ran out of tape I volunteered to pickup some more for her. I shop quite often at the local Staples and decided to check what was available there. I was not surprised to find the great price for the quantity. We found that the Staples tape was very competitive in quality price and quantity as the tape that she had been purchasing for a much higher price. We feel that the thickness of the tape might be slightly thinner but it worked just as well. She moved across country and she said that all of her boxes were intact and the tape held securely.
Purchased this item because of its value. Good for general office use such as sealing parcels for mailing or sealing storage boxes. May not be suitable for parcels with heavy weight items. Will also use for picking up lint on our suits.
