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

Worst tape I ever used, weak and thin, splits to make it frustrating and impossible to use.

I don’t write many reviewers, especially for commodity items, but feel inclined when I think a product is really quite poor. I have a nice tape gun and this tape jams in my gun all of the time, and is so thin that it gets all jumbled up with itself. I end up cutting off and throwing away about 10% of what I use. Lastly, after tappping the box, one day later the tape is peeling off the box on its own. I have used some tapes that one strip feels sufficient to seal the box but I feel the need to hit it multiple times with this tape.

This is a frustrating lower quality model

Update: the company responded, so will add a star, and if the replacement is exceptional I will come and add another star. See below. “Thank you for e-mailing concerning our products. We regret that you have had this experience, but appreciate the opportunity to correct the situation. When tape behaves in the manner you described, it usually means the tape is old or has been warehoused incorrectly. Age and temperature extremes can cause the adhesive on tape to deteriorate and cause the tape to tear improperly or not adhere. We have little control over how or for how long our products are housed once they leave our facility. We also distribute five different grades of carton sealing tapes based on the thickness of the tape. In order of descending thickness they are HP260, HD Clear, EZ START®, Commercial Grade and Standard Grade. Shurtape Technologies was the first to introduce an improved carton sealing tape that lifts easily off the roll, and unrolls smooth and easy every time you use it. This is our Ultra Performance Grade and is called EZ START®. All Shurtape Technologies products are backed by our Quality Guarantee. Please provide a complete mailing address and we will be happy to send you replacement rolls“ Original review: I care that it is made in USA. It is written all over it. But shouldnt that mean that it lasts long (at least a year!) and that the quality is high? I dont know... I feel confused about this. The first few months it worked fine as a tape, a bit on the thin side but in many situations being thin and strong helped. But now... I still have 4 rolls out of 6 remaining, and after 10 months they are fused into a roll. It is like trying to peel off a bark from a tree- comes out in strands, to the point I dont know where is the beginning and the end. I have not contacted customer support on this, but I hope they will replace these rolls. So wasteful!

Wow! Lots of tape at just the right number of rolls so there arent a bunch left when....

It was as discribed and arrived promptly.

This is the most frustrating tape to try to use. It is very thin and once you find the end of the tape and try to pull a length off, it comes off in uneven strips. Then you have to find the end of each strip and start over again, hoping that youll get a full strip. I wish I could return it. It takes a very long time to try to tape something because it doesnt come off in full strips. I definitely dont recommend buying this tape.

I bought these because it’s the name brand. It’s good.

It is good tape, I would buy it again, but a couple of times it has not come off the roll right such that it tapers at the roll end and I have to cut it off, pick the sliver up, unwind it to where it meets the cut bit, then try to get them to come up in sync so it stops splitting. Most of the time it works as it should.

Cumbersome, but the gold standard for packing/ moving
