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

Just okay. Nothing to write home about for what it is. I use it for taping mattress bags for a side job and it comes right off the plastic if you pull on it too hard. I’d expect more out of a good 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.

The box you put this tape on will give out before this tape does in my opinion. That is how sturdy it is. As long as you seal your box and put it at key points your package is good to go.

Says what it does, does what it says. This is my favorite shipping tape to use on my business shipments.

Theres packing tape and then theres strapping tape. When in doubt of which one you need, use this one. Its not going to come undone until someone deliberately removes it.

Good deal

I was looking for a reinforced packing tape I could use to better seal boxes containing heavier items for shipping, and that is exactly what I got. This tape is strong, flexible and sticky, which gives me confidence in shipping than regular clear packing tape thats not reinforced. Im very pleased with this purchase.

I bought this tape to hold a very large bathroom mirror together so I didn’t wind up with a mass while removing it. Holy cow! This tape is super strong! I ended up having to break the mirror to make it easier to remove, and the tape held so well, it was actually tough separating the mirror pieces. Lol! I would (will) buy this stuff again when I run out!

After reading other reviews of this product I decided to give it a go. I routinely pack and ship hand crafted items as a hobby, and the items I make often have some weight to them. This packing tape simply doesn’t meet the task of keeping heavier boxes sealed and closed. Upon receiving the tape from Amazon I put it to use boxing up a few items, and each line of tape I applied to the box didn’t adhere well, at all. Sections of the tape wouldn’t stick to the cardboard, and each strip of tape could be peeled off easily and without issue. Stated simply, a box sealed with this tape isn’t secure. I fully acknowledge that my experience with this product is very atypical when reading the other reviews. Maybe I received a defective version of this tape, or maybe the applications noted in other reviews weren’t for boxes containing heavier items. Regardless, I will be going back to my standard (and more expensive) 3M clear packing tape. I was hoping to save some money with this product, but I suppose the old adage is true… You get what you pay for. Signed, Disappointed EDIT: Following my initial review, GoStauch reached out to me to discuss my experience with their tape. They agreed that my experience likely indicated a defective product, and they sent another 4-pack of their tape. Tape rolls from this second pack are performing better, but Im still reinforcing them with clear 3M packing tape to be sure the tape is secure. I bumped my rating based on the companys response alone, and I may revisit it again once I have more experience with using this tape in more packing and shipping situations.

Review for: goStaunch Strapping Tape 4Pcs, 1.88in x 30yds Fiber Tape - 5.5Mil Thick Heavy Duty Fiberglass Tape - PET Synthetic Rubber Adhesive Filament Tape - Reinforced Packing Tape - Bundling, Closing Cartons The price per roll works out to be about $3.83 per roll before tax. I picked this up to perhaps re-enforce some of the heavier packages that I send out. I already have a TON of regular tape. It doesnt smell too gross compared to a lot of the other tape I pick up. I also like that when I pull one roll out of the package, the rest of them hold together and dont fall apart into 4 rolls. So I can keep the other 3 in the package until I need them.
