Don't buy
Really bad tape. It shreds, rips, and tears when you try to pull it off the roll. It doesn't stick well to cardboard. You have to use a lot. The ends lift off the cardboard and you have to double tape the tape ends to keep them down. 3M Scotch used to be the gold standard for tape, I can't believe they produced this and put it in stores. It's defective and a huge waste of money.

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

Horrible, how do you call this tape?
This is the worst tape I've ever used in my life. You would think that the biggest brand of tape would have figured it out. Duck packing tape is 10 million times better.

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.

Nothing heavy duty about this tape. Horrible!
I am soooooo upset with this tape! I've been buying it for years and lately it is horrible! It simply won't stick to the boxes. Easily comes off. Doesn't keep it closed unless you use a ton of it! Hate it! Will never buy it again! I'd rate it zero but it doesn't let me.,

Thinner
Used to be the best but now the tape is getting thinner and harder to handle as it breaks more easily. Also with 34 yards per roll, it’s 30% less tape than if you buy 54 yard packs on Amazon. This pack ran out very quickly during by our move.

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.

Why guarantee a bad product?
I am moving and need reliable tape for many boxes - this is definitely not the product I need. The tape peels away overnight. 3M wake up!!

Perfect packaging
Perfect for wrapping even the largest packages. The red portion is easy to grasp and then tape comes out smoothly. Rarely gets stuck to itself

Easy and durable to use when moving! My boxes were secure and made moving so much easier. Worth spending extra for the brand name

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.

Better than other brands
I will not use any other brand because I want the security knowing that this will hold packages closed. I also use it for "Laminating" cards, medication list, etc. that I carry in my wallet.

Terrible dispenser
It is good tape but the dispenser is terrible! Not worth the headache of trying to use it.

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.

This is the worst tape I have ever used for moving!!! Literally cones off brand new moving boxes in 10 minutes!! I will have to re-tape all boxes as the movers load them. I have had 3-4 tape strips on the bottom one direction and 1-2 the other. Same with the top. It still won’t stick. Even on empty boxes. There has to be a better tape out there!!!! I eclectic better from this company as their tape was wonderful on my last move. I do not have time to keep buying more tape and re-taping boxes!!! This is already a stressful time and this is adding to it!

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.

Scotch shipping take is the best!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love to use Scotch Packing tape everytime I send a package to my kids for birthday's, christmas or just because. I rely on Scotch Packing Heavy Duty take because of it's strength and I know it will hold ad will not use anything else!!

Decent, heavy duty
[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.
