Perfect gift tape.
I use this all the time now. It is the only tape I have. Very strong for this type. Disappears into the wrapping paper. Good easy dispenser. A nice amount of tape on the reel. I will continue to purchase.

Where's the tape????????
Huge dispenser, no tape, where is it? Why such large dispenser and no tape? Scotch and 3M is contributing to the decline of our environment, but why, profits? I'm wrapping Christmas gifts and I see I don't have enough tape on this huge dispenser.....

Quality inspection go down?
I bought a two pack of this and both split down the middle and sides of the roll. I would work at finding the end to restart only to have split again. I’ve never had this done to me before and on both rolls. Almost like a bad batch.

Bad tape
I bought this tape, as always, for wrapping. It didn’t stay very well. By the time we reached my sons (20 months) more than half the packages had tape fails. I was very disappointed as I always buy this. I even went to another one and it was the same way.

Don’t waste your money!
This is the second roll that the tape splits, and breaks and it is impossible to use. I get it going again and the same thing happens. Seems the quality has gone down significantly.

What happened to this tape? It's too thin to use.
This tape used to be a good product. Now it's too thin to use. It falls apart when I handle it. It comes off the roll in thin strips. What happened? Why would make this product so cheaply that it would become unusable?

Very Disappointed
I have been using Scotch Magic Tape for years. Because of my job I use it every day. I buy them 10 at a time. I just opened my 10 new pack and the tape is breaking and splitting. I became so frustrated I just through it out.

Super Tape Not Super
What happen 3M. Your scotch tape was always the best. Now it doesn't stick to anything. You put it on next day it's starting to peel. This past year we purchase this "super tape" JUNK. You need to go back to what you guys did best make it like before.

Tape
Scotch has been around for a while and will continue to be the best tape brand out there. It actually does what it’s supposed to and holds something together and it’s easy to use.

Love the tape and dispenser design.
I love using your "Magic tape". It tears easily, adheres well to my wrapping paper, and is well designed. It's so easy to hold with the recessed area in the bottom of the dispenser. Kudos to your design team! 👏

What's wrong with my tape
Tape keeps shredding when I pull on it. Then takes a long time to find an edge to restart it. Lots of tape wasted.

3M Cheap
The tape is good but the plastic dispenser is junk! It does not easily separate the tape off the tape role.

Scotch Magic Tape Gift from Heavens, Memory Makers
This tape brings back childhood memories of Christmas and upcoming birthdays. I'm glad it has survived so many years. It is the benchmark which all other tapes have to compare themselves too. it is the tape to use for gift wrapping, of course.

Magic Tape
I have no issues with this tape. I always prefer Scotch Brand Tape to others. I mostly use this tape for wrapping gifts and on occasion a paper that is torn.It is easy to use and sticks well to the wrapping paper for a great looking gift.

Stick with Scotch
Scotch Magic Tape is my go-to product for wrapping gifts. I've tried other brands, but the tape usually ends up in a tangled mess. The Scotch Magic Tape dispenser cuts the tape cleanly every time, resulting in much less wasted product. It's also easy to write on without smudging.

Excellent Product
Scotch magic green tape is the best on the market. It has good adhesive ability but easy to remove. It has very good quality but a value price. 3M has great quality standards and a major innovator in normal everyday products.

Scotch Magic Tape the must have tape product.
This tape is very good at fixing rips in paper receipts. Use it all the time because somehow my receipts keep getting ripped. The tape is invisible and it is not noticeable when used on paper. The tape also sticks well to the paper. The tape dispenses well and does not get tangled up when cutting it from the dispenser. Also used it in my notebook to tape some handwritte...
