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.

Best packing tape out there.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I haven’t been able to visit family as much so I have been mailing packages to keep in touch, I always tape the boxes 2 or 3 times to make sure they are secure. When I first tried this tape it felt so secure I knew one application was enough. It wasn’t thin and adhered flawlessly.

great product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fantastic product! Easy to dispense, no tearing, no resticking to itself, no mess.
It sticks well, I used it one handed while holding a box together, with no problem. We are moving next year and I plan on stocking up on this tape, it will make one task much easier!

Wow! This tape is STRONG!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having had the fortunate opportunity to try out the Scotch® Box Lock™ Packaging Tape right when I was moving into a new apartment, I was very surprised and quite pleased by how well this tape works on packing boxes!

Secure and makes no noise
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 3M provided me with the product to review. I have been using their other packaging tape for years and was excited to try this one. Happy with the quality and it does keep boxes closed securely. I'm glad they figured out how to dispense the tape without making that loud noise. Will definitely be buying this in the store...

Better than expected
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product free to evaluate. I tried to find the best way to test the claims for this tape, and eventually decided on using it to tape an everyday cardboard box shut, after it had been thoroughly soaked with water.
After I drenched the box, I let it dry enough to be able to keep it's shape when trying to ...

Holds tight
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this asa a sample and have put it to good use. The tape sticks very well to all the boxes I have had to seal up and even some plastic bags I needed to seal shut. This tape works great. The cutter works well and have not had any issues.

Great heavy duty tape!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tape is great! I ship packages regularly and it seems like I’m always buying tape. This is perfect for the majority of my small to large sized boxes. I would appreciate a wider version being made for when I’m shipping (or storing something) in an extra large box. But that’s not due to quality of the product; i...

Great just got greater!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Packaging tape is certainly one of those items in which you don't want to compromise. Scotch has been my go-to for years and the addition of the Box Lock packaging tape to the lineup is very welcome. I've used competitor products in the past and they seem to adhere to a package initially, but slowly release over a sh...

Supper Stick
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this to hang decorations outside when it was damp and drizzling. The decorations stayed hung for the entire party. It was also nice that the tape never splits.

Sticks great!
I received this product free from 3M. I loved how it rolled well off the holder. The tape stays stuck. Good for heavy duty boxes!

Great tape
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 3M gave me a free sample of this product to evaluate and it is great tape. It sticks strongly and I didn't feel like I needed to use as much tape as I usually do to seal boxes shut. It was easy to use and is really strong.

It sticks and stays
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is great tape. I have been shipping a lot of stuff and boxing stuff up for storage lately. This tape actually works. It rolls freely and cuts nicely. It doesn't have the problems other tapes have with it being hard to restart. And it stays on the box - doesn't matter if it is a new box or if it is a used one.

Holds well
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product to try out. I was recently doing some packing and I wanted to compare this tape to standard packaging tape and this one was definitely better. I was able to use without much effort and it held the box tops very nice and tight without me having to double tape.
