[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Since you have come out with the "easier" to handle packaging tape dispenser- no longer am I messing the tape all up with my attempt to put it on a package. For years and years I always hated having to get the "tape gun" as we all called it because even when it ran out we all dreaded having to remember the flow of how the tape was threaded to come out on the other end correctly. Maybe I am in the minority with the previous hassle of packaging tape but I don't think so. This has been like a miracle in our office.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I use a flea comb on my cat, I first tear off a small piece of scotch packaging tape and hold it above the comb as I comb thru her fur so when the fleas jump they go into the tape. I also use the tape to remove any fur or fleas off the comb. Sometimes if they jump on me I tear off a large amount of tape and keep applying it on my clothes on and off until I catch them on the tape. I know this sounds crazy but it works wonderfully. You just have to be careful not to get it stuck on the cat's fur. Also works good on picking them off of surfaces too. Thank you for your product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having worked in the moving industry during college, I have a LOT of experience with packing tape and have taped tens of thousands of boxes. This tape is tough...it's thick and strong, and will stretch without breaking easily. It's also very sticky...not likely to come unglued. And last but not least, the roll is 50 meters long, so you won't be looking for a new roll after every few boxes. It also came with a dispenser, which makes it more convenient to dispense the tape. My only questions are: Will it perform as well in freezing temperatures? Will it dry out and lose its grip on boxes that are stored for years? Too soon to tell.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the best tape I have ever used for packaging items to mail. I have used it on boxes going by UPS, Fed-X, and Postal. I have never had any damage to anything I have shipped. I also use the tape for storage boxes and it lasts so long and doesn't dry out like some tape. I have even used it to close plastic bags sent to me from catalog companies when I return items. Nothing has ever gotten lost and items have always arrived in excellent condition. Just can't get better packaging tape than SCOTT!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've moved around and packed so much throughout my life, I've always used Scotch packaging tape. I insist you have the dispenser as it makes the taping of boxes easier and more efficient. I've never had a problem with the tape tearing. As in the name it is heavy duty and strong. If you go with an off-brand the tape will keep breaking and you never get a clean tear leading to wasted time and frustration. I learned the hard way at first. Now I know to stick to Scotch products. I did receive this product free from 3M, however it's all I prefer and recommend using.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It wraps and seals well. If that were my only criterion, I'd give it five stars. However, it is virtually impossible to re-thread the tape. I just gave up: I rip off what I need and apply it manually. If only instructions were available (sigh!). That being the case, it's completely useless to me.

I ordered the "Shipping" Packaging tape rolls, but the ones I received are just Packaging Tape Rolls. There is a big difference. The Packaging Tape Rolls have a horrible odor to them; the Shipping Tape rolls do not. I use my shipping tape to adhere labels to my bakery products at my local farmers market. The Packaging Tape type roll odor goes right through my bakery bags %26 permeates into the product inside. I did not ask for a substitute when I ordered my Shipping tape. I would suggest in the future that you have your employees pay more attention that they are filling the orders with the correct item. Thank you.

Bought in conjunction with a Scotch 3M tape dispenser (red metal and plastic gun type dispenser with foam covered handle). The combination was useless. Tape didn't adhere very well, then tape could not be cut by the blade. The tape would not cut even when I tried to stretch against the fully deployed blade. Thus, poor tape adherence and then failure to cut resulted in a lot of tape everywhere except where needed. Disappointing.

I purchased this tape to ship Christmas packages after years of satisfactory use of Scotch products. Don't know what Has changed but this is pure crap. It doesn't stick to anything, even it's own dry side. That failure is a sure sign of America's decline.

My company has been using this tape exclusively for years - tens of thousands of packages shipped - and loved the small size, ease of use and quality of what this tape USED to be. Over the past few months, the tape changed - it now says "40 times stronger" and feels very different (thinner and slicker), which would be fine except that when the "new" tape is used on standard kraft shipping boxes it doesn't stay stuck!!! Really 3M? What the heck good is shipping tape that comes untaped on its own from shipping boxes??? Extremely disappointed in the changes to this product and that we are going to have to switch to another type of tape.
