. . . Usually, but not really in this case. The adhesion is fine, but the tape is weak and shreds very easily, so you get those useless tapering strips. For those who need to see read something through the tape, beware that this one is extremely cloudy. I wish Amazon would make more of an effort to recommend products based on a quality standard, rather than just the cheapest crap the market can provide.

Difficult to add tape.

First off, I used this tape for an art project not packaging which is why I gave a 3 star review instead of 1. It might work fine for shipping, but be warned that the tape is really thin, tears easily, and leaves behind a residue if you have to remove the tape for any reason. The tape equivalent of 1 ply toilet paper. You get what you pay for, cheap tape at a cheap price! It gets the job done, but might not be the best choice depending on what the job is. (Did come with a moustache sticker though so that was neat!)

I tried,at first I really liked it but once the tape starts splitting its impossible to get it to peel like a even piece of tape again. I tried everything..soo... i threw out the first roll and started the second roll,again great til it starts splitting. i tried cutting it apart slicing all the way acrossto start fresh...l itwas no didnt work. i had tape clumps. I ended up having to use contact paper as tape. bummer. i wanted to be happy bc its two large rolls at an amazing price.

Used to attach name tags to tables and it has held up nicely.

Had this come with tape, it might get a better review. Unfortunately, while using tape I had on hand, it made over half a roll useless. It has to have specific tape or it does not work. I’d rather use my old packaging tape and some scissors.

Tape gets stuck in the roll when applying to box.

I ordered this many years ago and I loved it before. So I ordered it again and this one is thicker. I dont like that it is. Its the same one I had ordered before but its not thin like before.

This works well for 3 wide tape. No instructions as to how to feed the tape thru it are included or available on their web site.

This tape is thinner than the high-priced name brands but it gets the job done. It took me several inches to get past my initial split in the tape but after that it was fine. Im just more careful applying this than thicker tapes. Works well.
