Used this to reseal some shock boxes so they would look factory fresh. Sticky stuff and will allow you to position it before it dries completely.

2.8" Paper Packaging Tape
on April 7, 2014
Posted by: Paula K.
I had never used paper packaging tape before but for the price difference with plastic I gave it a try. Using a damp sponge to wet the adhesive seemed to work pretty well with only small areas not adhering. I did an internet search to see if there was a way to eliminate the problem. The best solution was to buy a paper packaging tape dispenser which would defeat the purpose of saving money. So if you want to save money and not purchase the tape dispenser I would suggest using a damp sponge or paper towel and settling on a slightly less than perfect tape job.

I like the tape very much it is better than the clear tape It is quicker to seal up my package than the clear tape…. no more fighting with the clear tape sticking to the tape roll. Have nothing bad to say about the paper tape .

I had 2 days to make a cardboard airplane for Halloween. All my other tape was too weak to hold its flimsy structure. This tape though...once it set dry it wasn't going anywhere! I walked around waiting for a wing to fall off but the snakes I glued on fell off instead! If this tape can handle me schlepping around all day and getting stuffed in and out of cars then it will definitely keep your boxes sealed.

It works great for shipping heavy boxes and you don't have to worry about the tape coming loose.

Beats Out Sticky Gun Tape
on June 7, 2010
Posted by: Paula K.
Unlike the clear tape used on most tape guns this is a breeze to use. You don't loose the end it doesn't stick to itself and you don't need the 'gun'! Just need to rip with your fingers. It can last for years but it's only down size is that it won't last for 5 years + that the plastic tape does. Still it's so much easier to use!!

This product makes for a far more durable (and easy to use) backing for DIY framing.
