Yep it's packing tape. It's clear sticky and goes on a tape gun which is everything I look for in packing tape. I've used it on brown and white boxes and over other competitor's tapes and it proved sufficiently adhesive every time. If there was a storm and a tree branch cracked my living room window this is the tape I'd grab to seal it up while retaining visibility until I could get to the home center for a replacement pane. Last week I cut my hand and didn't have a band aid handy so I used gaff tape to stop the bleeding. If I had this packing tape I would have used it for sure but it hadn't arrived yet. Five stars.
