    Not for small dispensers
    The tape works well for packaging, but minus one star because it was not the size I was looking for. Inner diameter of the roll is about 3 inches. I was looking for tape that would fit on a small dispenser, like this one Scotch Heavy Duty Shipping Packaging Tape, 2 Inch x 800 Inch, Clear. These rolls are too big for that dispenser.

      5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Tape
      Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2022

      Used this tape for assembling many, many boxes in preparation for an upcoming move and was extremely impressed.

      The tape is thick and sturdy and held together really well. I had several boxes taped in my garage while we were showing our house, and the tape withstood the subzero Midwest temperatures with only a tiny bit of peeling.

      If you're like me, then you hate nothing more than losing the end of a piece of tape on the roll and struggling to start it again without splitting it. Not so with this tape - extremely easy to grab and go again if you lose the end, without tearing.

      This tape is a little more on the expensive side, but after using several rolls, it is clear you get the quality you pay for.

      It's tape. It works in a tape gun. It's high quality tape. I'll buy it again.

      I've been reminded to mention:
      Adhesion: Tape adhere's quite well.
      Value for money: I'm willing to pay a little more for superior tape.
      Easy to use: Huh. I always have trouble with tape guns, and waste tape. This high quality tape is easier to handle. If the tape's too thin, static electricity can cause it to dance around. Thicker tape reduces this problem.

      What can I say about tape....
      I love using this Scotch tape when sending out packages. It adheres well, it’s easy to tear, it stays stuck on the package instead of pulling away. All in all, it’s perfect for shipping packages and works for all your tape needs! I’ve tried other brands and this one is honestly the best quality. I’ll definitely buy again after I run out.

      I ran out of tape and bought some Duck brand because it was the only brand the store near me carried. I tried using it to tape a package for shipping-utter crap. The tape was thin and did NOT have good adhesion at ALL. I was scared to mail it because I don't think it would have made it thru USPS or any other mail service.So I ordered my old faithful Scotch Heavy Duty packing tape. Once my Scotch arrived I immediately peeled the Duck brand off my box, with ease. I taped it up with the Scotch tape and WOW at the difference. I didn't need to use a quarter as much and it was secure and snuggly taped up. To be honest I had never really gave too much thought into packaging tape, always assumed one tape is as good as the other. I was really wrong. Never again will I buy any other packaging tape because there is a HUGE difference in products! Learn something new everyday.

      We mail lots of packages, even before the pandemic. With an Etsy shop, family living in distant states, and online returns, I've had a lot of experience with tape. I am soooo over cheap tape that doesn't feed properly through the dispenser and is so thin it sticks to itself before you can get it near the package. It is cheaper in the long run because it lessens waste, saves time and reduces frustration. This tape just works!
