Size Name:2-Count|Amazon Vine™ Review
(What's this?)
I'm the packer of the family. Not the Green Bay kind, but the "Have Tape Gun, Will Seal" kind. While conventional packing tape is super strong and I can seal small packages or large storage boxes quickly and economically with a gun, I was curious about this tear-by-hand product as even I have gotten some nasty cuts from the serrated cutting edge of a tape dispenser when I wan't paying attention.
I received a small sample roll to review as part of the Amazon Vine program. I compared its adhesiveness and strength to conventional packing tape. Adhesion was comparable. But strength is iffy depending on the package. Because the tape tears so perfectly across its width (due to some molecular magic at 3M), if your package has any give to it, and is given a sharp punch/push where the cardboard flaps come together - for example the UPS person dropping another box on top of yours - the an across-the flap piece of tape just tears right open. Does not happen with conventional tape. Since this tear-by-hand tape is longitudinally strong, tape placed lengthwise along the seam should be fine.
For medium duty work, I think this tape is OK (although expensive), and is great for around kids, since you don't have to worry about them getting cut on anything.

When I first saw how easy this tape was to use by just tearing it with your fingers - I became a "tear by hand" tape evangelist!
It's very hard to find and I just don't understand why this isn't a best seller in the tape department because it's strong and easy to handle (doesn't try and stick to itself as you are placing it on paper) and it's just so easy to use. The company needs to kick it's marketing department's butt for not doing its job and getting the product out there on all the shelves. Everyone I have spoken to about the tape (I told you I was a tape evangelist) have never heard of it... what a shame for the company!

First off, I've made three moves in the past 3 years and packed things myself each time. I used cheap packaging tape in the prior 2 moves and was completely preplexed at how it didn't peel from the roll well, how the end made itself invisible so it was hard to get re-started again and how it tore off at any time. Cheap is not the way to go. This tape is amazing in that you don't need a dispenser to cut it. You merely tear it off with your fingers and retain the end for the next taping. The 4 rolls per packet can do a lot of boxes in a hurry. This tape is the way to go.

I love this tape in that it is strong enough to use for packing up boxes, but you can tear it by hand easily which is really convenient.
