Customer Reviews for Scotch 1.88 in. x 22.2 yds. Heavy Duty Shipping Packaging Tape with Dispenser

GOT A STOPE PICKUP FOR THIS PRODUCT. RECEIVED USED TAPE AND CURRENTLY ON THE PHONE FOR 12 MINUTES WITH NO ANSWER. I TALKED TO ONLINE CHAT AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO ASSIST ME ASKING ME TO GO BACK TO THE STORE 30 MINUTES AWAY AND EXCHANGE IT THERE.

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.

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.

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.

[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.

[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.

[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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a free sample of 3M Scotch Heavy Duty Packaging Tape and used this product to seal a package to mail. The tape is wonderful! It dispensed very easily and smoothly. This tape is strong enough to tape cartons of books with just one strip! The adhesive on the tape really holds. The other thing I like about this tape is that it is clear so it can easily be used over labels without fear of covering important shipping information. The amount and length could be a little longer but it’s enough. The tear teeth are sharp and make it easy to get any size piece you need.

[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

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tape is super grippy. It is easy to tear from the roll. I used this to reinforce a cardboard box filled with heavy books for shipping. This is definitely universal on any surface. Very easy to handle.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Scotch® Heavy Duty Shipping Packaging Tape with Dispenser is the only tape I use for packing boxes. I also use it for other things when I need strong tape to keep things in place. It has never let me down. The Dispenser makes it easy to use

[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.] I volunteer to evaluate products for 3M, and the company recently sent me a free sample of Scotch Heavy Duty Packaging Tape. I have used it on several different boxes, one which had a heavy item inside and was shipping via a shipping company. I was very happy with how the tape went onto the package and how heavy the tape felt compared to my normal packaging tape. It was much more sturdy and adhered much better. The dispenser is very easy to use and it allows for a smooth cut when using the tape. Very happy and pleased with this heavy duty tape.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this Scotch Brand Heavy Duty Shopping/Packing Tape with a Dispenser free to evaluate, and I can say I was not disappointed with the product! We use lots of packing tape when storing items in boxes in our storage units, and we have used this tape often. The tape is strong, and keeps sticking even when exposed to extreme temperatures. The tape can be written on for easy identification of boxes. The smaller dispenser is much more convenient to use than the large handled device we were using previously. I also use the tape to secure the labels on my bottles of homemade extracts to ensure the remain readable!

[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!

[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.

[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!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very impressed with the stickiness of the Scotch Heavy Duty Packaging tape. The dispenser is sturdy and as I would expect. The tape itself is thick and does appear to be heavy duty as in it sticks well and seems to adhere strongly. Easy to roll, easy to cut using the attached cutter. The tape seems to adhere and hold strongly. I have had no issues with this tape and recommend it especially for packages.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tape on shipping box works great Unlike other tapes it will not let ends of boxes lift up after taping My wife tried this also to ship packages to our son in Kansas and grandchildren in Oklahoma The packages arrived still sealed tightly

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a free sample of Scotch Heavy Duty Shipping Packaging Tape from 3M to review. Since I already use a range of their shipping tape products, I thank them for restocking my depleted supply of their Heavy Duty. I sometimes ship items in recycled boxes that require extra bond/adhesion since the box isn't shiny and new and I find that the Heavy Duty performs great for this purpose! While I find that the dispenser that this tape comes with is great and so much lighter than the handheld tape gun, I prefer a desktop dispenser so I removed the roll from the one it comes with and use it the way I want.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like how easy this tape comes off the dispenser. It has not once bunched or stuck wrong. I like that it stays nice and flat and does not wrinkle. It cuts very nicely when packaging a box or anything for that matter.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We recently boxed up several of my mother-in-laws paintings to ship to an art studio. Several were odd sizes and required us to make boxes. This tape held strong and everything was received in great shape! I highly recommend it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This heavy duty tape product was sent to me as a free trial sample. It's the most heavy duty packing tape I have ever used, and very secure. I used it to mail a package to my aunt. The dispenser is good, lightweight and compact, not like the heavy duty industrial style someone purchased for my office. The 3M dispenser is easy to use with a bit of practice - much better faster, and convenient than using scissors like I used to do and the tape would twist and get stuck to itself or I'd drop it and it would roll away. Ha! Those days are over. Hooray!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this tape. It works great on packages to mail. It has a superior hold and withstands the rigors of shipping. It works great on boxes and bags, even bubble packages. Excellent value for the quality

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used Scotch Heavy duty packaging tape to mail a package and the dispenser does cut cleanly.As for super strong holding power the recipient of the package received what I shipped to her without any damage so,I would say it holds.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a free sample of 3M Scotch Heavy Duty Packaging Tape and used this product to seal a package to mail. I had difficulty getting the tape started. There is a "tab" that appears to be the starting point, but in fact the tape ran over and past this point, so I struggled to find the beginning of the roll. Also, there is a piece of cardboard that says "remove here" that protects the cutting blade edge which is a great safety feature. However once I removed the cardboard where indicated, the cutting edge was still covered up with part of the attached cardboard, thus making cutting the tape difficult. I tried to remove the residual cardboard tab, but it is well secured, so I was not successful. I don't know if that little tab that remains is supposed to be left on for protection of the blade, or removed, but if left on, the cutting edge is blocked, and if it is to be removed, I cannot figure out how to do so without cutting myself on the cutting edge! However the tape itself is wonderful! It dispensed very easily and smoothly. I cannot tear it, which assures secure sealing. It has it's own dispenser, which would be very handy except for the above issues. It is clear tape, so you can see where you are putting it which is obviously important when sealing a seam or package edges. I love the tape and would recommend it for anyone's packaging needs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The heavy duty lived up to its name. Had to tape up multiple boxes and was was able to easily secure with no bumps or seem lifting. Other products get bumpy as they are going on or the seems lift which makes you question the hold. Not this product, boxes got knocked around the the tape held up.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Caution: do not waste money and shipping security on cheap tape. I’m using a roll of Scotch Heavy Duty Shipping Packaging Tape that I received as a sample to review, and highly recommend it. It easily dispenses and does not rip or tear coming off the roll. I am confident my packages will arrive sealed and secure. Tape is not Tape: go with the good stuff . . .

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the holder. Much easier to use rather than using a tape gun. Works great for taping up broken down boxes and hanging things. Easy to hold and strong. Decent amount of tape included in the spool - 55 yards
