Questions & Answers

I understand how to load the dispenser, but I can't get the tape to release so I can start it....why don't you have a piece of paper or something at the beginning of the tape so I can pull it apart to load it into the dispenser? I have 10 I can't use.

    Why do none of the packing tape manufacturers publish the thicknesses of their tapes. That's a critical parameter. Please publish the thicknesses of your tapes.

      How get the tape to work with the dispenser? How get it to thread through?
      ByApr 2, 2021

      Answer This Question

      To load the dispenser: 1. Lift brake and push tape onto the plastic hub so that tape unwinds adhesive side down. 2. Pull 2 inches of tape out from the roll and toward the blade. 3. To ensure the tape does not fall back on the roll, thread it through the two retainer posts on either side of the tape path. Operating: 1. Pull out enough tape to adhere at least 2 inches to the side of the box below the seam (caution - sharp blade) 2. Pull the dispenser along the seam. Apply hand pressure on the brake to provide tension for a tight seal. Use your free hand to seal the tape in place. 3. Continue down the side to desired length. Cut the tape by squeezing the brake and slightly twisting the dispenser to either side. Press or wipe down tape to ensure a good seal. If these instructions are unclear, please call our office at 1-800-328-6276, our team is available Mon-Fri from 8am-4:30pm CT.

        It is really easy. There is a piece of “starter” tape you peel back snd then you just put the tape behind 2 tabs. I love this tape.

          I had to press the tape against the sides of dispenser to get it to stay threaded and that only lasted temporarily. It doesn't work like the bigger dispensers used in most offices or warehouse settings.

                        Tape held up well on our moving boxes. Dispenser is so helpful when you’re trying to tape a box quickly

                        This packing tape does not adhere well to boxes at all. Do not recommend using for packing.

                          Pure nightmare! totally failed to hold.
                          [Employee of 3m-scotch] We purchased this product a month ago and used it to seal boxes we were using to move. Everything looked great, until we went to move. The tape kept falling off of the boxes and the boxes were opening while being transported to and from the truck. It was a nightmare! We can't believe that what used to be the "best go to product in the business" fell apart as much as it did.

                              Defective dispenser
                              Purchased last night and when I got it home, discovered there was no metal cutting strip. I needed to ship a package, so I used the tape anyway, cutting it off with scissors.

                                Unacceptable
                                Bought in conjunction with a Scotch 3M tape dispenser (red metal and plastic gun type dispenser with foam covered handle). The combination was useless. Tape didn’t adhere very well, then tape could not be cut by the blade. The tape would not cut even when I tried to stretch against the fully deployed blade. Thus, poor tape adherence and then failure to cut resulted in a lot of tape everywhere except where needed. Disappointing.

                                  NIGHTMARE to get tape off roll
                                  Three ibuprofens and hour later, still struggling to figure out how to release beginning of tape roll so I could start using it. There was no tab to pull on end of tape to get it started. There were no directions on package, either. Finally put roll under bright light and examined. There is an INVISABLE perforation that needs to be broken and tape then released. There was no way to know this on the package.

                                    sturdy and dispense easily
                                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used it on a medium sized box with about a 5lb load. I like the convenient dispenser, glides on easily. The tape is wide enough and holds well. The box was sent from Maryland to Florida via USPS and was received in good condition. Happy with the quality.

                                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the quality and strength of the tape. The only complaint I have is the strength and ease of use of the dispenser. Dispenser itself feels cheap and easily breakable. Otherwise a great value.
