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

I bought the Duck tape gun which came with one roll of tape. I bought this as a refill since we were moving and I knew I would need more than 1 roll of tape. I thought it would be the same as what comes in the gun....it is not. The tape breaks very easily, often when we are applying it to a box it will just rip and you have to start over. Do not recommend this tape.

A bit too flimsy - gone are the days when packaging tapes were durable and not super flimsy. Adhesion is also quite weak - my double-taped (cross pattern) bottom of moving box just fell out when I picked up a box weighing about 8 lbs. When I compare this to my movers tape, its like 1/10th of the thickness and adhesion. Ill be looking for a different packaging tape!

Sticks well enough, but the thinness makes it readily stick to itself (permanently) before it gets to the package, which means increased waste, so not the best value.

closes packages well, sometimes you have to push the tape hard to stay on box

This is a really thin tape. Its as thin as they come. Its hard to neatly apply because its so thin, so it sticks to itself when you try to tape it to a box. It tears easily and can sometimes be difficult to start a new piece without the tape shredding. Duck brand HD Clear tape is a very good tape. This version is horrible and I wont buy again.

This is listed as standard packaging tape. It is quite thin. I use it to reinforce envelopes. Not sure that I would trust it for use on boxes, especially for shipping. That being said, it does work fine on the manilla envelopes that I have used it for.

This tape is too thin and wrinkles up on its self. Its hard to handle and I dont like it.

I have bought this brand before. The gorilla tape and other types were useful. I was happy when I thought I was getting a good deal on packing tape. My experience with packing tape is having a quality tape that is durable and sturdy. This item was extra large scotch tape. Actually scotch tape might have been sturdier. The tape didnt stick very well. It is not strong enough to use for packages, gifts or temporarily fixing a screen or affixing a note to the door. I am not sure what function this tape has. I was happy to have the option to return the item.

seems to be better than scotch/3M tape for a dispenser. This stuff is always a hit or miss and this time it was a decent hit

So this tape is cheaper than other tape, and for good reason: it sticks well enough for your basic packaging needs, but if what youre trying to stick together doesnt want to stick together, you might be in for some problems. Go with Scotch heavy duty or some other product that sticks better.
