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.

Holds Like Nothing Else!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was skeptical that this little tape could seal up a box without multiple layers; but to my surprise it did! It took a singe strip to close up a box that I was shipping and I have confidence that it will continue to hold for the shipping journey. What a time a money saver! Love this product!.

Must-have for shipping!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used Scotch Box Lock Shipping Packaging Tape to ship a package to a friend, and this shipping tape works great! For starters, I love that it was easy to find the start of the roll. This tape grips securely, and I did not feel like I had to use layer after layer. Definite must-have!

Great!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Scotch Box Lock Packaging Tape is the best!! I ship things out all the time and this product is amazing because the tape sticks instantly to any box or package. The tape we had before you had to smooth down a lot or you had to use lots of it to get it to stick to cardboard. This is heavy duty sticky tape. I highly reco...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this tape free from 3M.

New go to Tape!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this tape for free to try. Definitely my new go to tape. Super sticky, strong and durable. I used it to reuse a box, previously received that I wanted to reuse to ship something. Tape is thicker than the normal one I use, it also did not get all stuck and matted together.

I had a few boxes I wanted to tape up and this tape adhesive is strong and held them sealed! The roll was easy to get started, stays stuck to the dispenser for easy f...

smooth taping
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 3M sent me a free sample of this new tape. I tried it and it is nice! Smooth motion without any of that awkward snapping. There is no sticky residual at the end of tape. Tough and durable too. A nice winner.

Sticks great!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently received this from 3M and it is a great, quality item. It's thicker than a lot of clear tape I have used in the past but no too thick to interfere with a good adhesive. Another great product 3M! Thank you for sending it to me to try

Excellent tape
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's the perfect shipping tape. It unrolls so easily and sticks great. The tape is thick so you don't have to worry about it breaking apart in transit. The dispenser is easy to use, keeps the tape ready so you don't have to search for the end each time you need yo use it.

High Quality Tape
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I always struggle with taping boxes, so I really love this packaging tape. It is easy to use and tapes boxes so well that you only need one strip of tape to securely close any box. I like that it is easy to start and stop the tape and it is easy to tear. This is a high quality roll of packaging tape and definitely make...

Love It!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have discovered that this tape does more than seal boxes! I used it this weekend to tape streamers to our wooden deck for my daughter's birthday party. I loved that it was a clear tape so no one could see it. It worked like a charm, and it didn't come off until I removed it this morning (in the rain). The Scotch ...

Tape locks boxes tight
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use packing tape every day. This tape is true to its advertising. It immediately sticks and only one layer is needed. Gone are the days of wrapping a box in multiple layers of packing tape. The tape dispensing is smooth as silk and the tape teeth tear on the first try. Hands down, this is the best tape for a secure ...

Super Sturdy and Sticks Great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is thicker than normal tape, so I didn't have that problem where the tape fold over on itself. I also really liked the design of the dispenser. It has a flap where you can stick the tape so you aren't hunting for the edge. The cutter is okay. But I really liked how thick it was and how it stuck really well to the ...

Super Strong hold
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a roll of this Scotch Box Lock packaging tape from 3M for my honest review. This tape rolls super smooth. It doesn't do what other rolls do, making that horrible noise when you use it. You can also feel the thickness of the tape and know it has you covered. This tape would be great for packaging up your most...

Holds strong!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this item for an honest review.
I package and ship several items a week, and I use A LOT of packing tape. This works great. It has a really strong hold. I think I found my new tape of choice.

Clear tape
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a free sample of this from 3M as part of their review program. I have used it on a few different boxes now and have to say it's just above average for packing tape. One thing I do like is the thickness of the tape which gives it a bit more tear resistance than the average packing tape. It has good adhesion...
