Scotch Heavy Duty Shipping Packaging Tape, 1.88 Inches x 54.6 Yards, 8 Rolls (3850-8), 436YD (400 m)

I tried some of the other types of Scotch packaging tapes when we were packing up for a move, but this has the best adhesion to boxes of any of them. It outperformed the tape that Scotch sells FOR moving, which lifted off the boxes about 15 min after you applied it.

As always 3m products are top grade and work as promised. Their tape sticks well and stays fastened over a long period in storage. Also great for mailing... keeps even heavy boxes sealed even after the Post Office gets hold of them.

This tape, Scotch 3850, is the best tape on the market for any normal consumer applications. This is the top of the line for Scotch (aside from some heavy industrial tapes that you dont need and probably wont find on Amazon anyway.) We have been using this tape daily for years, on anything from small boxes (1 book size) to really big boxes (30 x 24 x 20) and this stuff works great regardless of the application. Yes, its more expensive, but it is by far worth the investment if you ship regularly, or even as a one time purchase if you are moving or something. It sticks well to any type of cardboard, plastic or poly bags, etc. Your cost can be mitigated a bit by watching for price fluctuations and buying more at once. For this listing, Scotch 3850-8, the price is usually quite reasonable, but can creep up sometimes to a level where its not worth it. Anyway, something to keep in mind if youre shopping around--the part number for this tape is 3850. The -8 at the end only means its an 8 pack. So, Scotch 3850-6 or 3850-3 are exactly the same tape, just a different quantity of rolls in the pack. I dont usually write reviews, but here is why Im writing this one... I feel the need to respond to the reviews that say this tape does not stick well. It does. UNLESS it is OLD. So-- if you order this tape in any quantity and it doesnt stick well, it is past its shelf life and should be returned to the seller. You can usually tell if its too old just by looking at a roll from the side. If it has a tan/ brownish look to it AT ALL the tape is old. Also, when looking through a roll from the outside, this tape should be completely (almost freakishly) crystal clear all the way through the roll to the cardboard at the center. Bottom line: If this tape is still within a decent shelf life, it cant be beat. Its well worth the money. If the tape is old, the glue has degraded and the entire order should be returned. (And whoever sold it to you in the first place should have known better.) If you receive the tape in good condition, but it is then subjected to fluctuating heat/cold/humidity, etc. the shelf life will drop considerably, so dont throw your extra rolls up in the attic. :) Though Im not certain, the shelf life for this tape in its best condition seems to be somewhere between 1 and 2 years, probably closer to a year.

Ive tried other brands, but none stay stuck as well as Scotch! In warm conditions or very cold conditions, Scotch Packaging Tape adheres well and stays in place. I use if for shipping packages of all sizes and weights, and Ive never had a customer tell me that the taped seams worked loose. Tape is a bit heavier (thicker) than some of the others, but is easy to cut and apply, even with the economical plastic dispensers. Using Scotch Packaging Tape, I pack it, and ship it, and have no worries about the tape failing in shipment! After trying the other brands, I now place my trust in Scotch!

I just ran out of the tape I had previously purchased at BJs Warehouse some time ago. I had to ship a couple of items today and this tape was easy to use from start to finish. It sticks to my boxes as it should and being able to read the ship to: address is as clear as a bright sunny sky. Oh, by the way, it was less expensive then the store. That helps...a lot!!!

Used for sealing new and recycled boxes filled with metal products for over 10 years, Ive never had a tap adhesion or burst failure

PERFECT

Just opened this 8-pack of “heavy duty” tape that was sold and shipped from Amazon and it has almost zero adhesive on it. Past the 30 day return window so unfortunately hosed. It will not stick to anything, not even itself. Have purchased this exact tape from local stores many times before with no issues so must have been a bad batch from lack of QC at the Scotch plant or it being stored improperly or something. If you order this make sure you check a roll as soon as you get it or you might have just purchased 8 rolls of clear plastic that you’re stuck with….oh the irony.

It’s convenient for use it has great adhesion great value of money

Es la mejor cinta adhesiva que he podido usar.
