No good
The tape ripped while pulling which cases me to loose a lot of the tape. The tape didn’t come off smoothly and tore which caused it to strip down the middle.

Works as well as any other tape
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used this for our moving boxes, which didn't have to go far and weren't packed up long, but did it's job and stuck easily.

Works great!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm packing up some boxes to put into storage for the season. The tape was easy to get off the roll and stick to boxes easily. Would recommend. I did receive this as a sample from 3M.

Ship with confidence
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This roll of box tape was sent to me for review. I must say it lives up to its name. Put one strip of tape on the seams, ship it and forget it! Super sticky and heavy duty. Tape dispenser is easy to use. Will buy in the future.

Great item
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a sample of the box lock tape and couldn't wait to try it out. I ship quite a few packages and already own the scotch heavy packing tape. This one was easy to use and I used less than before. Looking forward to buying more.

Good everyday Tape
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good tape to have on hand. I keep it in my junk drawer and pull it out whenever I need to ship a box or for everyday needs. Handle is ok and gets the tape off well, so that you are not sitting there trying to get the tape unattached from the roll to use. Overall, good product but not super special. I received this prod...

Super Stick
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Scotch Box Lock Packaging tape from 3M for an honest review. I really like the design of the dispenser. It is a durable plastic that you can apply pressure to as you put the tape to seal the box. Once you start the beginning of the roll you slide t through the 2 tabs so you will never lose the end.

Works well
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 3m sent this to me for free to review it. This tape worked well for closing boxes and taping paper towel rolls to cardboard for a project. It was easy to use, it never got stuck.

Holds up
This tape is super heavy duty. I felt confident sealing my packages with it for shipping packages. Nicely designed dispenser to easily tear tape.

Strong Hold
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product foe free from 3M to test and review. Per the norm of Scotch brand products, this packaging tape holds great! If it twists on you and sticks to itself, you might as well just cut it because it won't let loose; not that this is an issue as I purposely caused this just to see. Another great prod...

didn't know it'd work better
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this product free to review. I didn't even know there was different tape for boxes. I'd buy this over the regular tape. It does stick a lot better.

Extra Sticky Tape
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tape really seals a box if you want to keep it closed for a very long time. Probably not the best option to use if moving and you are going to open the box again in a few days, but good for boxes stored in the attic.

Easy to use and secure tape
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The tape is nice and thick and I was a little skeptical about it's sticking abilities because of that thickness until I actually sealed a box with it. It sticks. It also unrolls smoothly and it's easily cut with the built in cutter on the dispenser. This smaller roll is also easier to grip and use but would obviously r...

Very nice secure tape dispenser.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this to try out for free as an honest review and I am really really liking it. It has such great stickiness. Very tough tape. Don't take much to secure the package. I ship multi items out often and am very happy with this.Unfortunately the tape ran out very fast.

Rugged!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a rugged packing tape that is easy to use. It’s designed to securely attach to boxes with a secure hold with just a single layer. I found that to be very accurate! I closed a variety of boxes with this tape and it felt really secure. The most notable feature for me was the easy tear! Just twist the tape and it ...

Strong Tape
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 3M gave me a free sample of this product to evaluate. What I like about the product is how strong the tape is. This tape will stick to any kind of box, and just one piece is needed. The tape is easy to dispense, and unwinds smoothly with none of that loud squeaking sound like some tape dispensers can make. I also like ...
