[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 3M had sent me a sample of this Scotch Tough Grip Moving Packaging Tape to try and I am impressed! My mom needed help packing a “balikbayan box,” which is a box containing items to send overseas (we were shopping our second-hand stuff and snacks to my aunt in the Philippines) and conveniently, this product came in the mail. So we were able to use it and tape up the box. It held all our goodies pretty well! Usually we would use about most of the roll for the entire box but honestly we managed to seal the bottom and top with lesser strips than anticipated. The box remained intact before shipping! We’re hoping the box will last since it will take weeks for it to arrive but I trust it will work out! It was really easy to use.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this as a trial from 3M/Scotch in exchange for my opinion. I have always had good luck with Scotch packing tape and use it on all my shipments. I've never had anyone tell me the tape didn't hold. This tough grip tape is no exception.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really liked this packing tape compare to most. It adhered well and was easy to pack my box. I have used other tapes and felt this one worked very well.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this free from 3m in exchange for my unbiased opinion. Removing the yellow tag paper covering the blade was a bit difficult. The is a serrated flap that if not removed a certain way, will leave part of the tag paper still hooked to the dispenser (see video). You'll have to be very careful not to cut yourself when trying to rip it. The scissors might be a safer route. I actually left it as is and in my case, it didn't affect the quality of use.
The box I had to tape up was torn in corners and would definitely rip even more during transit if not secured properly.
The first thing I noticed was how QUIET it was when reeling out! Normally, you would hear that obnoxious tape-screeching noise when going from one end to the other. It is very discreet when any noise is made at all. Thumbs up for that.
Secondly, the thickness of this tape is a plus. It sealed my box corners and tears effortlessly.
A hidden feature that i appreciate is the fact the tape is clear. This makes it harder for unwanted guests to attempt to peel open my package because you can't really tell where to peel if you double/triple seal it.
I noticed the dispenser was a bit flimsy, but later discovered the hinge inside of the roll was loose. After closing it, it was sturdy again and did not loosen when using repeatedly.
The tabs to catch the tape from sticking back on to the roll was very clever and a huge time-saver. We all know how annoying it is to try and find the end!
Overall, great product and I am absolutely impressed. Unpacking for use just needs to be worked on. Perhaps, a sliding blade cover would be a nice touch for the next generation of tape dispensers? Just a safety measure thought. =D
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the tape as a free sample and love it. I recently packed up several boxes to ship and never had to worry about a thing. Held up great!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this as a promotional sample from 3M. This Moving Tape comes off the roll better and smoother than the normal Packing tape I usually use. It adhered quickly and cleanly to both cardboard and paper surfaces.
