Don't use for registered mail
on August 15, 2012

This tape is good but I was slightly deceived. When you mail registered mail with USPS you need to use paper tape. There were two paper tape products and this one was plastic wrapped but looked identical to the more expensive larger roll. Paper tape is supposed to take in ink. When you mail via Registered mail that is a must. This tape DOES NOT do that. It is slipery and comes off when you rub it. Other than that the tape is strong and great for packaging and I would recommend it if you are doing a regular mailing.

Sticks where you want it to stick

Convenient and easy to use. I'm using it to close boxes of Christmas decorations. These boxes are opened and closed every year. I don't need a very sticky tape or a tape that sticks to itself more than to the box. This paper tape is so convenient because I can rip it with my fingers and it stays flat. It doesn't twist and stick to everything but where it's supposed to stick. (For heavy duty mailing a stronger tape may be needed.)

Sticks but nothing will stick to it.

US postal service rejected a registered mail box packed with this tape. They said it was a common problem. I had to re-pack the box using the proper brown tape that they supplied. Too bad Staples did not have better quality tape when I first went there.

It works ok but has a tendency to not stick very well on packing/shipping boxes. I had to rub it down to get it to stick.

Doesn’t stick! Keeps peeling away. Not paper tape. Just paper colored.

Rolls on well. I like that it is not plastic.

Will go back to the old wet-and-apply stuff.
