Great multiuse tape
I use this tape for labeling daycare bottles. They stick and don’t come off until I pull them off at the end of the day.

Not as sticky
This tape doesn't seem to have the same amount of stick as my last roll. It pulls off the roll very easily

Works well for all masking tape needs! Best part is, that for general use, it doesn't leave residue behind!

Good product
Very easy to tear. However it could have been a little stickier. It didn’t hold well.

Tape #2020
This is junk. Tape is flimsy. It won’t pull smoothly and tears apart even though only half an inch was pulled. Avoid this tape number# 2020.

Not very sticky.
The tape isn’t very sticky. It will stick to a ziplock baggie but that’s about it. I use this tape to label my kids items for school/daycare such as cups, food items, and I’m disappointed that I opted for this over my usual dollar general brand ($2.00). I thought that maybe it was due to the roll being new and I needed to get into the roll more, but it’s just not a sticky tape.

What's not to like? Great for labeling (use a permanent marker) and get it out there with easy style and not too sticky on the walls.
