Scotch Sure Start Packaging Tape, Clear, 1.88 in x 54.6 yds, 4 Rolls

This is the best shipping tape I've used. It's silent and sticks well. One thing about shipping tape is you should always scratch it with your fingernails after putting it on. This is to ensure the adhesive sticks well to the surface. Doesn't matter if it's not too sticky or very sticky you should do this each time. Trust me I pack a lot of boxes because I sell stuff on Etsy. Only caveat is that it is a bit pricey compared to others, but this one has no strong chemical smell. It's also 3M which is the most quality brand you can buy, whatever product they sell you know you're getting quality. Compared to other brands sold in the other big online store this one is expensive, but I've tried those cheap ones and they are either too thin, have a chemical smell or both.

SCOTCH brand packing tape is the BEST packing tape I've ever used. It does not break off where I don't want it to. I don't lose the end, and search the Scotch brand with by finger nail in an attempt to retrieve it. I've accidentally ordered another brand, as has my husband, in the past. If you've done that, you know it can be very frustrating to lose the end. Save yourself the hassle and order SCOTCH brand packing tape. It works, every time.

I have a small business selling plants and cuttings... This is the only tape I'll use to secure my baggies around roots and cuttings wrapped in wet paper towels. I also use it to close my bubble mailers, boxes, and attach my shipping labels. When I can't get this and have to use other brands like Duck or 3M it's beyond frustrating. This tape, Scotch Sure Start, doesn't stick to itself when trying to unroll it and yet sticks to everything you need it to.

My favorite tape to use when packing packages. I sell on ebay and this tape has been by far the easiest to use without the constant ripping or hard to grip if it gets stuck back on the roll.

This is the best packing tape I've ever bought// and I've bought a lot! Just the right amount of stickiness and just the right degree of flexibility. Works well in our dispenser . Highly recommend!

I ordered heavy duty and was sent this regular packing tape. It does the job, but I use more of it because it doesn't stick quite as well as the heavy duty.

This tape barely stuck to the packages. I bought another brand afterwards and it stuck to the cardboard boxes and stayed put, unlike the Scotch box tape.

This tape is great if all you want to do is find the starting point. If you want to use it on a tape dispenser or tape gun, it's a mess because the tape is so slippery that it doesn't want to cut. I'd rather just turn down the tape at the end so I can find the starting point if I'm not using a dispenser or gun, which is rare. It's much more important for me to be able to quickly apply the tape instead of cursing as I attempt to make it stick to the cutting edge long enough to get a clean cut. And now of course this is pretty much the only kind of Scotch packing tape you can find. Scotch is the best, as I found out to my dismay when I used a crappy brand that split every time I tried to use it, so I use this Sure Start stuff under duress.

The quality has gone down hill. This tape doesn't actually stick to boxes. Had to just tough it out and be careful with putting out boxes in storage. I'm worried how they'll hold up when we move them out.

This Scotch packaging tape fails to do its basic job… to stay stuck to corrugated boxes. I always use Scotch tape and haven't ever had a problem. This particular tape is thicker and much less adhesive. I advise against buying it. I'm packing for a move and now must re-tape the 25 boxes already packed. A complete waste of time to have to go back and remove all the curled up tape and replace it with a tape that's guaranteed to work. The last good tape I used was from UPS.
