    Q:Will this tape secure on big, black "heavy-duty" plastic bags, or only on boxes? Thanks.

    Answer This Question

    A:  Hello - Thank you for asking. This may work to secure plastic bags, but this tape works best on a dry, more porous surface such as cardboard. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please connect with our team directly at 1-800-328-6276 Mo-Fri 8am-4:30pm CT.

          A:  It does not have a handle like the big metal packing tape dispensers do. The red plastic serves like a handle to roll out the tape and cut it, it's a bit different but after a little bit of using it I adjusted to using this one and I prefer it to the big ones with the long handles.

          A:  It does not have a handle. However, online orders are delivered to different cities, not the city I selected. will not recommend the online service.

            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.

              Works Great and the Tape is Heavy-Duty. I just needed something to tape a few Boxes up without spending alot of money on a Tape Dispenser. Very Happy with Purchase!

              Scotch Heavy Duty Shipping holds fast
              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used my Scotch Heavy Duty Shipping tape to mail a box. At first I didn't think the tape itself felt sticky enough to adhere properly to the box but after applying it I realized it was indeed sticky enough and would hold fast.

                Scotch Shipping tape is the best packing tape.
                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a sample of Scotch Heavy Duty Shipping tape to review. I have used Scotch shipping tape for years. This doesn't seem a whole lot different from what I've used previously. It may be a bit thicker. I don't like the dispenser it came on however. Just too flimsy and it's hard to cut the tape with. I have a regular dispenser that I use and it works so much better. I recently moved and only used 3M tape for all the boxes I packed. There were only a couple that didn't stay closed but I can't say if that was the tape or the person who taped it. I have used other brands in the past but they were far too thin and not strong enough to keep boxes closed. I have also used this tape to get cat hair off my furniture and clothing. It works great for that!! And since it's clear (nearly invisible), I've used it to repair items as well.

                  Best tape ever. If you need tape buy this one now
                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Amazing tape. Best for the money. If you want to ship something this is the only tape to buy. I have never had any trouble with it. Love the dispenser too. You can’t go wrong with this tape. Stays very sticky

                    Think outside the box!
                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This arrived at the perfect time. My daughter's computer has a crack where the power cord goes in. We were trying to figure out a way to hold this in place. The packing tape said "heavy duty". I grabbed a piece of this from the roll and low and behold it works wonderful. Saves us having to get a whole new laptop!

                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this tape! Def planning on buying it again in the future and planning on telling anyone and everyone I know about it because everyone would enjoy it as much I do! Always been a huge Scotch tape fan!

                        Look no more, this tape does it all!
                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was thrilled to have Scotch Heavy Duty Shipping Packaging Tape available to seal my return! I needed to return a box filled with multiple heavy items. This tape was amazing for getting a very neat and tight seal when closing. The dispenser made stretching the tape across the box a breeze. The serrated cutting edge was efficient when I needed to clip the end of the tape. I would highly recommend this when you want a high performance seal with ease of use.

                          Definitely recommend!
                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It works great! Held my boxes together well! I definitely recommend this product. I sell a lot of my clothing online, and this helps me feel so much more secure about my packages. I’m not worried about the boxes coming undone with heavier items!
