Tape King Clear Packing Tape Super Thick 3.2mil - 60 Yards Per Roll (Pack of 6 Refill Packaging Rolls) - Strong Shipping Heavy Duty Adhesive Carton Sealing Commercial Depot Tape (TK-052)

I was impressed so much better than some other packing tapes tough good adhesive I just returned some heavy items and good tape is cheap insurance

If you’re looking for something as good as the name brand stuff, this is it. It costs less, but this is as thick as the good stuff (other genetics are made from thinner tape), and the adhesive is identically strong. No splitting or tearing; it peels smoothly and holds well.

We had to purchase different tape to tape over this tape in order to secure the boxes for the move.

I used these for packing a ton of cardboard and plastic boxes for moving. The tape is sturdy and performs about as well as the brandnames more familiar to us--which means that you have to take a second to smooth/push the tape down for it to stick well. The tape is not as sticky as I would have liked but I made no head to head comparisons so maybe my expectations are too high. I used a tape gun and this tape fit easily and I had no issues (except those related to the tape gun itself). One nice thing about the tape being a little thicker is that it was always easy to find the edge on the roll. Also, the tape never split lengthwise for me. I would give this a four and a half instead of a five but am rounding up today.

We send out a lot of boxes. Im always interested in reducing costs--but not at the expense of functionality. This tape is a little more flexible than the 3M, but only a little. It does have a bit of a smell (which doesnt persist), but optically its just as clear as the Scotch brand tape-- and its sufficiently strong enough to seal packing boxes. At half the price its a no brainer. Well be switching completely to this. If it were 95% of the cost, wed stick with the Scotch brand. At half price, especially given the amount of tape we use, were completely sold. Again-- if it were deficient in any way, we would not switch. This is a perfectly acceptable substitute. Follow up: we had to abandon this tape for an odd reason: if you use thermo printed labels and tape over them and if the packaging is exposed to heat or sunlight, the printing disappears. This does not happen with 3M. If it weren’t for this issue we would still be using the tape. And if you’re not using thermo printed labels and taping *over* them, then it shouldn’t be an issue.

Overall, this is really great tape. Nice and thick, adhesion is about as good as any other economy packing tape. The price per roll is hard to beat, Id rather order this than pay for one of the name brands at the store for the same price for only 4 rolls. Ive had the tape separate from boxes wrapped around the edge, but thats typical of most cheaper packing tapes. Its nothing excessive, and hasnt let me down when it comes to holding packages together.

Best not to get the cheap tape that folds on itself when trying to use it. This one is a bit thicker and much easier to use. Not a whole lot more in price than the cheaper packing tape.

Moving is STRESSFUL!!! Right now, I am up to my a** in (packing) alligators related to an impending move. I looked online for tape alternatives because the tape for sale at UHaul (yes, I decided to pack it all myself - what was I thinking?) is ridiculously expensive. I found this tape and some of the reviews were great. Let me tell you, I dont get the less than stellar reviews. This tape is great! It is strong, does NOT bunch up and most important, never slips from the end of the tape roller. Yep, theres a time-killer and a frustration-builder: trying to find the end of a roll of packing tape, while creating little splits in the tape as one picks trying to get the tape end going again. This tape is far superior than the tape I was using and makes my Herculean job more bearable. Let me tell you, when moving ANYTHING which facilitates is worth its weight in gold! And, this tape was so less expensive than many others I found on here. This stuff is the way to go!

Good for making up boxes for food boxes

Im one of those people that spends too much time trying to find the best deal - or item - and so you can imagine how things went when I tried finding packing tape! I spent a long time trying to find a decent tape at a great price and I ended up finding this. Im in awe by how economical Tape King is. The only weird issue it has is that it is LOUD when you try tearing it off the roll. Also, the adhesion is so-so. Its perfect for my purposes and the way I tape boxes because theres a tiny bit of leverage I have to tear tape off if I need to--but its also not weak enough for me to worry about it coming off (especially because I tape up the sides too). The only time I had a problem was when I was trying to go over a torn spot on the box--for some reason it wasnt really sticking there so I had to put extra tape. Now Im only worried about it expiring before I can use them all...does tape expire? Who knows.
