Duck Brand Standard Packaging Tape Refill, 1.88 Inch x 54.6 Yard, Clear, 1 Roll (240408)

I thought I had liked this brand of packaging/shipping tape in the past, but the minor cost savings is not worth dealing with more of the tape twisting and getting stuck to itself. Since it feels so thin, I also find I feel I need to double layer it sometimes. If youre using a good quality tape dispenser with a handle, it might be fine for light or medium boxes. However if youre tearing and placing the tape by hand (like after tear it off a cheap plastic roll holder) -- it will stick to itself constantly, folding on itself like tissue paper.

I thought this would be good tape since it’s Duck Tape brand but it doesn’t stick to my boxes. All of the boxes I packed over the past few months has all come loose. So frustrating.

I occasionally do a house purge and sell old items and failed hobbies on eBay. This tape is strong, sticks packaging closed (anything from cardboard boxes to plastic), and has not failed me yet after sending 16 packages over the past two months. I’m sure I could gripe about the price, but who couldn’t these days!

Usually Duck brand tape is heavier and easier to use, this item is quite thin and tangles easily. Still seals the boxes just fine so well keep but just know this is not the heavy stuff.

As expected

I seriously doubt this tape is actually 1.6mils thick. Its extraordinarily thin and as a result, it twists up when youre trying to tape a box. I tried to use it to tape boxes but it simply wouldnt stick nor would it keep in place. Since it came in 4 rolls, I didnt want to throw it all away so I made a fairly clear sticky tape trap in a door way the waited for my wife to come home succumb to my advanced trapping abilities. She got home, walked right through it and didnt even notice it was on her. The tape is literally a total failure. Like me now.

worked needed to pack

Some tapes roll off the roll smoothly with minimal noise. This tape is loud! It is thin and appears to be holding okay. I like that it is 100 yards per roll rather than 52 yards. Fingers crossed it is a sturdy tape. Undecided whether i will purchase again or not.

Today I buy a different brand It did 50% of the job in all area and 3stars is all I can give Definitely not for packing and shipping I had to use multiple layers to secure the package and of course it lasted 1/3 of the quality I expected to cover Sorry but this is my honest review

I use a tape holder and have no issues. The tape is thick enough and stays put. I have even used it for minor repairs. The 4 pack is a great value as well.
