BETTER THAN I EXPECT
I wrongly assumed that that the lower price would indicate a lower quality. It works on any package except perhaps on a very heavy box where I would probably use the heavy-duty Scotch Brand.
So far, so good.
So far, so good.

Poor Adhesion to Cardboard Boxes
I thought I could save 2.00 on this tape. What a horrible mistake. This tape simply refuses to stick to cardboard. And these were boxes FROM staples. Do NOT waste your money. Get 3D original Heavy Duty Shipping tape for 24.00 for 6 rolls. You will be happy you did. And so will your customers and your pocketbook due to lost/destroyed packages due to tape that just ...

Worthless Tape
This tape does NOT hold. It is so terrible that when you pull out a small section to tape to the edge of a desk (easier to cut from there) the entire roll will fall to the ground, unraveling the tape. Point is, the tape is not strong enough to even hold the weight of the roll! It is junk. I have ALWAYS used Staples brand packing tape but I am going to try another brand.

Looks good
It does not look strong enough, previously the tape keeps breaking off when pulled with little tension.

Doesn't stick. Not at all!
This is literally the worst packing tape I have every used. The school where I work is moving to a new building and they purchased this tape in bulk to pack up for the move. EVERY SINGLE item that I taped with this tape came unstuck in less than 24 hours. Much of it came loose in 15-20 minutes. It is absolutely the worst tape I have ever used. Although it was free...

Not heavy-duty
The tape is hard to use.Tears easily. Not heavy-duty. Not sure why there are such positive reviews.

Great tape for ensuring packages arrive intact. Good value. No need to double this heavy duty product.

I like that this tape weight is easier to work with than the lighter weight.

Quality not as expected
It is difficult to tear off the desired length when using this tape in a tape gun. It won't grip the gun's teeth and I end up with to long a piece.
