Horrible, how do you call this tape?
This is the worst tape I've ever used in my life. You would think that the biggest brand of tape would have figured it out. Duck packing tape is 10 million times better.

Great tape & size but no refill option?
Best packing/shipping tape. We go through a ton and hate to toss red plastic dispensers in landfill. Cannot find a refill for this size core (3" dispenser too big for small desk). Can you please make available?

Good product
Quality and product is good. I wish there were instructions on how to thread the tape not sure I am using it properly . You have to be careful once you finish taping something to not loose where the end of the tape is

Can’t be beat
I used a roll of this and ran out and then went to another brand and wow what a sub par difference!!
Scotch tape is the best it’s strong and doesn’t stick to itself when you make a break!! It is sooo worth it!

horrible design
This was bought to make my life easier since I ship so many products for my business. Instead the design is completely flawed and it is impossible to cut the tape. When the tape is cut, the box gets cut with it. Very displeased.

Excellent packing tape and packaging
If you are doing a lot packing etc this is the way to buy it. I have purchased both ways (by mistake - did not pay attention to yards/roll). Smaller packaging amount do not last long.

Packing Tape
Love the service from Staples. The only problem I've had is with the red hand held tape dispenser. Sometimes the lock to hold the dispenser closed in the center of the roll does not stay connected. Otherwise all good. I use it a lot.
