Good thick tape
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this a bit back and really liked how thick it was. Clearly not going to rip. Could likely hold heavy boxes together without the fear of everything falling out the bottom. A bit hard to cut without a sharp knife, but thats kind of the point. I'd buy again

HORRIBLE WASTE OF AN OLD LADY'S MONEY
I was trying to seal a box but the tape separated and peeled off at an angle and I was unable to start it again so I now have almost a full 40 yd of HD clear packaging tape THAT IS TOTALLY USELESS!
sad me

Thin & ANNOUING
HD CLEAR is the most annoying product‼️
Do you make clear tape in a thicker mil?
I Hate having to stop everytime this stuff breaks and try to get it going again. It’s SO thin it rips down the middle..

Junk Tape
Everytime I waste more tape. While Packing. Because of the poor quality, poor strength of the tape it breaks all the time when unraveling. I will Never use this tape or Company. Again.

Worse than useless
I bought a two-roll package and it is all useless, except maybe as paperweights. Impossible to unspool effectively: it splits every time I try to use it. Then it's a struggle to find the end and all but impossible to start again in one piece, and then it splits again, etc., etc. Last time I tried to use the shreds I managed to get off the spool some areas had no adhesi...

Response from Staples :
We are sorry that you had a bad experience using our packing tape, and can understand how frustrating this could be. If you can manage to get a solid corner up with your fingernail, then it helps to use your finger or thumb to roll up the edge diagonally from the corner until you get the full width of the tape to grasp and avoid shredding. Hope this helps!

POOR QUALITY SINCE RECENT CHANGE TO "RED" PACKAGE
Have used your GREEN packaged " HD CLEAR " packing tape for many years, with great success. Now you have changed to the RED packaged "HD CLEAR" packing tape...and it is clearly as thinner, poorer quality tape that rips easily....VERY DISSATISFIED! You clearly went to an inferior quality product....to save costs.....now you have lost a loyal customer.

The worst tape I've ever used
Can't get the tape off the roll without it ripping into pieces, it's useless. Throwing it away.

Adhesion Stays only a few minutes
I bought this a month ago and I hate it! I tape a box, and by the time I have packed it, the tape at the bottom has come loose. Using MUCH MORE TAPE THAN I SHOULD HAVE TO!
Don’t buy this stuff. You will regret it.

Difficult to use
Although this tape does stick to the packages and provides security, it mostly sticks to itself on the roll and is a pain to separate. Have reworked the dispenser several times, but it alwalys slides back to the roll. I'm elderly and have no patience to continue trying to separate this tape.

Good packing tape
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this to ship out a couple boxes. Tape is nice, strong quality and sticky. Holds up nicely and easy to put on and tear.

Strong tape
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great for packing. I mean, we're talking clear tape, so nothing is going to be mind-blowing here, but it does the trick.

Strong and transparent
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tape is super strong and super clear. It not only gets the job done with boxes for moving, it also is good for other miscellaneous odd jobs around the house. I've fixed quite a few broken items. Toys to be exact. Lol I'm always telling my daughter to go get the tape.lol

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this a few weeks back to use to send some packages to grandma in Puerto Rico that needed some extra security along the seems and this tape absolutely did the trick. It's the only brand we have ever bought or will buy in this household.

Great hold
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Duck tape has always been one of my favorite brand. Every product of theirs that I have tried over the years work very well. The clear packing tape work just as well as their other products . The tape hold very well so you don't have to use a whole lot.

Even Better
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The HD Duck Brand tape is even better than the original. Didn't know you could get any better, but after storing boxes with the original and storing with HD, the HD holds for longer. Great product.

Great strength
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This packing tape is awesome. I ship out quite a few packages and this is so much stronger than some other tapes I have used. It doesn't slip or pop even when I have pulled it tight and has good pressure against it. I also like that I don't have to use 2 or 3 layers of tape to hold. My wife even used it on sealing som...
