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

Have been using this brand for years love it

Thinner than expected but does the job. I used it for moving and shipping. Youd need to tape over multiple parts of the box (over the opening and a few perpendicular to it over the sides) to be secure. I used a tape gun to apply it which saved a lot of time - otherwise youd be shredding it trying to get it started. Even with the tape gun it was crazy noisy. If youre bougie and like a quieter tape (have young kids, thin walls, whatever floats your boat I guess) I recommend the Duck Tape HD. Way better overall but pricier to reflect it.

For it to be Duct tape brand, Id expected it to be a little thicker, but so far, its sticking once u hold it down to get that seam sealed on a box. Would probably buy again because the price was good.

Ok for price

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.

It stinks! unroll some tape and smell it! Well no, dont do that because it stinks. Not real bad and it goes away quickly. As far as taping a package, it works great.

I followed agent K’s advice and used brown paper and triple twist twine as the preferred method but the post office told me it was not acceptable. Go figure. So someone recommended this stuff and it seems pretty good. Very sticky! Also you need a “tape gun” otherwise it doesn’t go well. After being freed from a giant tape tangle I went and got the gun and now I can ship boxes every day.

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!

My go- to packing tape for securing and/ or sealing boxes, crafting, and even removing pet hair from my sweaters!

Cumbersome, but the gold standard for packing/ moving
