Good for what it's used for

Good product however when you use the tape it has alot of threads that remain on the roll and you have to pull them off after each use. Maybe the tear strip isn't sharp enough to cut it and this occurs. Good to cover up mailing boxes so that you can reuse them for shipping.
The US Post Office will only allow us to use paper tape to tape up a special kind of mailing our business does. I was so tired of having to use the paper tape I had to wet. I was thrilled when I had found this at one of my favorite office supply stores. The other office supply stores do not carry this item and I had only found it one other time at a UPS store but the roll was very tiny and didn't have the value this one has. Thank you so much.
I was surprised at how poorly this tape adhered to the package how it was impossible to write on it even with permanent markers and how nothing would stick to it. It is not a good packaging tape.
The post office told me I needed PAPER packing tape so they could ink stamp it without it wiping off. This was labeled PAPER tape. It was not. It was shiny and ink stamps would wipe off it so I could not use it at the post office.
Half of the roll of tape had no adhesive on it. It was a total defect in manufacture. I had to return it. The new roll I exchanged it for has very poor adhesion. I am not pleased with this product at all.
