I decided to try paper tape after having massive shipping issues with clear packaging tape. I regret that I EVER used anything but this product. I have not had any issues with any of the orders that I ship for my small business and my orders are typically 8-20lbs per package. The tape holds extremely well and the adhesive is sooooo strong. I highly recommend this product!
If you are re-purposing corrugated boxes for long-term storage you should replace or reinforce the plastic tape with paper packaging tape. The adhesive bonds better with the cardboard a doesn't deteriorate with age. Staples is one of the few places you can find it.
