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.

Strong, clear and easy to use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the thickest and strongest-holding shipping tape I have ever used. It is also clear enough to put over shipping barcodes for protection. The packaging is also sturdy and provides the perfect housing for the tape that allows easy tearing. I highly recommend this tape over any other brand for shipping packages.

Impressive
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product at no cost for my honest review. I was happy to see that it is made in the USA! We have lots of family that all live out of state so we mail lots of packages. I usually have to wrap the tape around and around the package but was surprised to find that this tape is strong and it really is seal...

Great Packing Tape
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This heavy duty shipping tape works very well when taping up boxes and packages. It holds securely onto the cardboard. The dispenser with cutter helps cut the tape quickly and evenly. The dispenser is good to hold and handle while taping boxes.

Great for making a castle! :-)
I received this product free from 3M. We decided to use this tape to make a cardboard castle. Since it was heavy duty, we thought it would hold up better than normal tape against the hustle and bustle of a busy castle. So far, the castle is still in one piece,and the tape is still securely in place. The tape does feel slightly thicker than regular packaging tape. Overal...

Very heavy duty!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am used to using the packing tape so using the Heavy Duty version I can instantly tell this is a more durable tape. It feels stronger and it is stickier. I think it would last a very long time. I received this free to test and review.

strong tape for securing boxes
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We reuse our boxes for recycling and yard scrap collection. We are so happy that 3m let us try this tape. We use the heavy duty tape to secure the boxes shape, It holds the sides together even with the stress of lateral bending and moisture. Great product.

Super heavy duty
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I typically use Scotch packaging tape, but had not tried the heavy duty. This is very heavy duty. I would trust it for any package that might be heavy that you want to ensure it keep taped shut. The only reason that I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is due to the fact that it was very hard to get the tape started. It tore...

Versatile!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In just a short time, I have used my Scotch brand Shippihg Tape with Dispenser for so many things. I filled a box with old photos and taped it shut, I sealed and mailed a box of AZ goodies to my brother and my daughter used it to create a poster board of her artwork.
Easy to use, doesn't get tangled.

So sticky!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This packing tape is pretty great. It holds so good that I feel I might not be able to open the boxes I packed up with this tape! Haha! But seriously, I don’t think I’ll ever go to another brand because this one is my favorite.

Easy to use and strong hold
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was able to review the Scott’s heavy duty shipping packaging tape with dispenser in exchange for my honest review. As I taped my boxes it was a great stick to begin with. The tape dispenser helps guide the tape easily across and also cuts the tape easily. It was an easy glide across the box seams and then at the fini...

Does what it says it will!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Scotch Heavy duty Shipping Packaging Tape with Dispenser is excellent tape for shipping boxes. It sticks firmly with ease, and stays stuck. One piece seals your box and keeps it sealed. I received this as a free sample from 3M.

Super Strong!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the product free from 3M. I used the tape for some boxes I needed to ship and it held up great. The tape came off the roll smoothly and made a clean tear.

I like that it includes the dispenser as well. The size is perfect for an occasional user like myself. I like that it can be stored in a drawer or desk. The tape quality is great.
