Standard-Grade Packaging Tape

I was looking for a tape that was less expensive to seal some boxes for returns to my company warehouse. Tape did the job but took some getting use to as it is lighter weight than the other grade and tends to tear unexpectly.
using the tape dispenser this tape would not properly dispense when trying to initially set up and tape the boxes. The tape had a tendency to roll back up on itself and was very difficult in trying to find the seam in order to use it. It also had a tendency to tear / shred when you tried to start it from the roll which caused you to waste a lot of tape. It was very frustrating trying to use this "economical" tape to tape up boxes for packing up household goods and linen. We would never use this low quality tape again. I am very surprised that Staples even carries it since it is not up to the quality standards that Staples is known for.
We ship boxes every day and switched from Scotch to Staples Brand. The tape came off the box before it even left the store! We taped corners of boxes and in about 10 minutes the tape separated from the box. Who knows what our boxes were doing in transit!?!? Stick with some other brand because Staples tape doesn't stick.
