Doesn't suit my needs

Bought this to ship a package via USPS certified mail. They need a tape that can absorb ink from stamps and this tape is still glossy and does not absorb the ink. If you need a brown paper tape that absorbs ink look for another product. Otherwise if you just need tape this tape is pretty good.
This is NOT paper packaging tape and as such it was useless to me. The only reason I know of for using paper instead of plastic tape is for wrapping a box that will be sent by Registered U.S. Mail. Paper tape is required because the Post Office stamps every seam so that tampering can be detected. But this tape has a plastic coating meaning that the ink from the Post Office's rubber stamp is easily smeared and/or removed. This stuff is absolutely useless.
