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

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!

Does the job

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.

These are thin, so they get very easily split up in middle. But still it is very good value if you can stand up with that.

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.

It’s sticky it works it’s tape lol. Used it for moving never had any issues with moving boxes opening. We put it on the boxing tape roller installed easy stayed on didn’t slide off. Rape was easy to tear using the thingy lol. 4 large rolls it’s very good value for the price.

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.

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!

Have been using this brand for years love it

Good tape, good price
