Before using this tape, I was using the "Packaging" tape variety. I chanced upon this type when I ran out of tape one day and had to grab one at the local supermarket. I like this one better after using it. On the paper core of this "moving" tape, the words "mailing and storage" are printed. I guess "moving and storage" and "mailing and storage" both refer to the same tape. The reason this tape is better is because it sticks to mailing boxes better than the "packaging" tape, which sometimes lifts itself off the cardboard box. I had to apply another layer of that tape at 90 degrees sometimes to the first layer to make sure it sticks. The "packaging" tape seems to stick better to tape than to boxes. This tape is also thinner, and clearer, so that it weighs less and I can tape over the address label without obscuring it. The lighter weight makes a difference because if you are just 0.1 ounce over the limit of, say, one pound or two pounds, you need to pay the higher postage rate of the next weight limit. The difference can be as high as 2-3 dollars or about the same price as a 54 yard roll of this tape! Highly recommended!

I've used a lot of packing tape over the years and I am dissatisfied with this brand. Although the tape is strong it doesn't stick to the boxes very well. I've come back to boxes that I back a few hours ago to find the tape has peeled right off.

This and the #2120 (transparent duct tape) by 3M are RUBBER- and LATEX-FREE! GREAT product! Tape is clear and strong for packaging and regular taping use.

I am packing up my parents house and this tape does the job. It is strong but easy to tear off with teeth!! I haven't stored anything for a long time period so I dont know about longevity, but it seals very well for my uses. Once it sticks it takes some tugging to come off. I made the mistake of using it to tape down butcher paper over the hardwood floors and the part that got on the floor really did a number peeling the finish off the floor! Ouch. I just didn't want to use that expensive painters tape, but I will next time. Anyway I have already ordered 4 more rolls and will likely stock up and get more. No regrets.

It's a little strange writing a review about Scotch Packaging Tape. What's to say? I always wish people would include the price they paid so I can compare current to past price - so I paid $10.99 for the 4 roll package. It comes off the roll cleanly instead of gumming up and making it hard to get the tape off the roll as other brands have done - even when a roll is found in the back of a drawer years later. The tape is hardy and doesn't break unless I cut it. I'd rather have a strong tape I have to hunt down a knife or scissors for than one that tears using hands. I've applied it to heavy moving boxes and never had the tape fail even after being on the moving box for years - both top and bottom of boxes stay safely sealed. The tape never fails to stick to any surface I've applied it to including cardboard, KitchenAid plastic bins, large envelopes, mending various plastic items, and so much more.

This is a decent tape but not as good as the "Packaging" type. The Packaging type is thicker and more resistant than the Mail and Storage type. This tape feels somewhat cheap and prompts me to double tape everything.

What can I say about Scotch Brand tape? It is and always has been the best tape company for a long, long time. Of course, this product is no different than all the other fine products that Scotch makes. I use a ton of packaging tape when shipping my eBay items and Scotch brand is always the sturdiest and easiest to work with. Yes, it is a little more expensive but it is worth it in the long run. There is never a problem with 'losing' the beginning of the tape on the roll and then wasting a bunch of it to get it started again. I highly recommend this product and the company that sells it. It's the best.

I have never had a lousy experience with a packaging tape. But this is completely ridiculous: I taped up about 40 boxes yesterday. When I cam back this morning to fill them, the tape had peeled right back off on all of them, flopping around on the floor, the boxes collapsing and useless. Not something you want to happen during a stressful move! Stay away from this tape, it is scandalously useless and inferior. How long has Scotch been making tape? And they can't even run a simple test on their products? This verges on fraud!

This tape is heavy duty thick and strong, perfect for sealing my packages. It sticks well to boxes, so I don't have to worry about anything coming apart during transit. Haven't had any problems yet.

I have used this packaging tape for years without problem. I have found it to be the best tape for general packaging and you can rely on it to get your package delivered in one piece. It is very strong and durable and it clear so it looks nice. It works very well in a tape dispenser.
