> 3 dayGREAT STUFF FOR A GREAT PRICE! Ive read a few mixed reviews of this tape, with the main con being that the tape is not completely opaque/clear. Well, its true that if you look at the roll of tape is definitely has a yellow hue, but a single layer of tape is pretty much clear. It works perfectly fine to cover a shipping label. Its super sticky! I normally stick with Scotch or Duck brand tape because many other brands dont have a strong enough adhesive to keep boxes closed. However, Tape King has a really strong, durable adhesive. I kept a package in my car overnight before shipping and temperatures were in the low 20s. The Tape King tape held like a champ! The only drawbacks worth mentioning are that although this tape is listed as super thick it is rather thin. Much thinner than Scotch Heavy Duty Shipping Tape. As such, I would guess Tape King would be more likely to rip/tear/cut than the more expensive brands. Also, the Tape King roll was a hair too large to fit into a Scotch brand tape dispenser because Tape King provides more tape per roll. After a few wraps of tape come off, it works fine. So, this is both a pro and a con. Overall, I would definitely recommend Tape King tape. It works very well for the money!

> 3 dayThis tape is really excellent. I used it to ship on all different types of cardboard boxes. The adhesion is really outstanding on the boxes and to itself. It is also very strong and tear resistant. I had to start the tear with scissors. You will not be disappointed. 3M packing tape has always been my go-to packing tape. Lately, the 3M/Scotch rolls have failed to properly adhere to packages. Disappointed in the 3M/Scotch brand, I tried these rolls and they are really outstanding. Finally, a tape I can count on!

> 3 dayI was skeptical about using a knockoff tape brand because I primarily ship fire pits that weigh 50 lbs, but figured for the price difference I could use twice as much tape. This stuff is better than the Scotch brand shipping tape I had been using. Now my scotch tape is a couple years old, not sure if its less sticky as a result, but I can tell you that this stuff sticks to the boxes great, both new and old cardboard. Right off the bat, when I cut off a section, I could feel how much stickier it was on my fingers. Only time will tell how this holds up, ie if I have more packages come apart during shipping. But I can say with 99% certainty that this will be the shipping tape I will use from here on out.

Greater than one weekReceived my delivery a few days ago, and just started using the new tape from Tape King. I opted for the thicker (3.2 mil) version. So far, it seems WAY better than the tape I previously bought from a Big Box Store, with the USPS symbol printed inside the roll. I ship a fair number of packages, both domestic and foreign, and I prefer a tape that will stand up to the needs of the job. If this tape proves to be as good as I think it is, I will be ordering more in the future !

> 3 dayWith a new job offer in a completely different part of the country, a big move is coming up for me. I went to several stores to buy packing supplies and was very surprised at how expensive packing tape has become. I saw this online and, after considering the reviews, I bought a six pack. In a nutshell, a good buy. The tape is thick enough to hold most items, even heavy ones, without wrapping them more than once. I do notice a smell coming from the tape, but it does not really bother me and does dissipate after a while. As far as holding power, I make sure my boxes are free of dust and dirt by quickly wiping them down before using them (especially since they have been in my attic for many years). I also rub down the tape with a hard smooth piece of plastic after putting it on the box. I have many boxes in my garage waiting for the big day and so far they all are holding well. One note, if the tape wraps up on itself, I do find it difficult to restart and edge evenly without some effort, but I figure that this is due to the good holding power fo the glue used. I am extra careful when laying down my tape gun so that this does not happen.

> 3 dayI bought Tape King & HP260 to compare them. While the HP260 was a little bit stickier, Tape Kings cheaper tape was wider at 2 and was almost as sticky. Just make sure to press it hard against the box. Also, I was surprised at how well it taped in the 10 degree temperatures I was working in. I pack dozens of boxes every week for my business, and am planning on ordering more of Tape Kings product. Also, it is very thick, strong tape (3.2 mil), so I assume some of the other reviews must be fake.

> 3 dayNice thick heavy duty tape, but the rolls are not 2 wide as described. They are 1.88 or so. I wanted 2 rolls to fit my dispenser. Not worth the hassle of returning, but I hope someone corrects the product description to be accurate.
