goStaunch Strapping Tape (1.88 x 30yds, Pack of 4) Heavy Duty Packing Tape Rolls - 5.5mil Fiberglass Tape - 2X Thicker Shipping Tape - Synthetic PET Adhesive Filament Tape - Reinforced Packing Tape

I got these because I just sent a 40 pound package 1000 miles through the mail in a cardboard box that Ive had since 1996. The box was never in the rain or anything, but it was 26 years old and not in pristine condition. I wrapped the box in 2 inch wide cellophane tape because I had run out of the fiberglass reinforced strapping tape I really wanted. I overwrapped the cellophane tape with gaffers tape because it was the strongest stuff I had. I probably spent 10 bucks on tape because I didnt have the good stuff like this from goStaunch. So, for about a buck and a half (about 30 feet at a nickel a foot) I could have had this tape on my old box and not have worried about it making the trip. I know better now and I am prepared for the next time this happens. You cannot hardly break this stuff and it will pull cardboard fibers off an old box with only a slight amount of pressure applied. It is great packing tape.

I live this tape!! It’s so much stronger and waaaay stickier than packing tape and even duct tape, especially when it comes to cardboard boxes. It doesn’t cut well with a tape dispenser, unless you have one that has a “straight” blade…if they make such a thing?? If your tape dispenser has the “teeth” blade, it doesn’t cut the nylon strings running through the tape at all. Personally, I use the dispenser to apply the tape, then use a box cutter to cut the tape. It’s a bit of a pain that way, but since the tape itself is far superior to any other tape I’ve used on cardboard boxes, it’s worth the extra step!!

I do a lot of shipping of heavy boxes, so quality packing tape is always a concern. This reinforced tape solves all my worries though. Its heavy duty so you can use less without any issues. Ill be back for more!

The hand taper cutter could not cut the thick cords in the tape

Super strong, high strength backing, great quality.

Extremely sticky very hard to work with Kept gumming up the blade on tape holder

purchased for business use ... received on time and in good shape, works as needed.

Taping packages...Taping plastic on windows in winter, anything you need taping for...

I didnt realize they come with fiberglass stripes so thats an added bonus. They are very strong and similar to clear duct tapes. I wish they are tearable by hands but due to the toughness, you will need a scissor or a tape gun dispenser. Its very sticky with strong adhesive so do not use it on anything that may tear off varnish or paint.

great pack for my business needs and the tape works like a charm even after days, The tapes on boxes are found intact and solid. Getting them again!
