Questions & Answers

Is this tape supposed to be wet?

Nope - There is no need to use any water. This tape is usable right out of the package.

Is this tape suitable for covering old address labels and the like when sending a package?

Yes. It is not necessary to wet it, and it adheres well. It's what I use to cover up old labels and barcodes.

Will this tape hold up if the filled box is stored in the garage for a year or so before being moved to a new home?

For us, it has. About two years ago, we packed a few boxes with old 78 rpm records. They're quite substantial. They haven't lost their power. The boxes were kept in a non-smoking environment. Most of the time, I'm in a climate-controlled garage in Austin, TX, and I've made two trips to and from Fort Worth. Worth. It's a good tape that's a lot easier to work with than plastic film tape.

According to the post office, I cannot send a registered package to Spain using a glossy paper tape. Does this tape have a glossy or matte finish? thanks. ?

Matte. We use this tape to send packages to our daughter at college on a regular basis.

I was snatched at Hello! My life seemed to be stuck in a rut
5/5

I felt hemmed in and vulnerable, as if everything inside of me was about to burst forth. Something was required to keep me afloat. Then I came across this wonderful product: a lovely shade of boxwood. brown that complemented me on all sides. When I felt the pressure of things piling up and weighing me down, it stayed with me and helped me stay afloat. It arrived in less than two days and got me up and running.

I'm not sure what else to say
5/5

I'm not sure what else I can say that hasn't already been said in other reviews. This is an excellent tape, and I've looked for a less expensive substitute but have come up empty-handed. handed - As a result, I'm resigned to paying a higher price for this. With all of the frightening news about plastics getting into everything, we're attempting to move in the direction of "plastic-free" living. I'm not a crazed tree-hugging environmentalist. hugger - I'm just an ordinary guy who sees waste plastic all over the place. This tape is heavy paper and appears to seal just as well as plastic shipping tape, so I'll pay a little more to help the environment (hell - I'll pay a little more to help the environment). There have been reports of "micro plastics" being found in human cells, indicating that this is a problem that affects more than just the environment! ) It also looks a lot nicer than plastic tape when it comes to sealing boxes.

It's ideal for mailing or returning packages
5/5

I enjoy shopping on Amazon, but I do have to return items on occasion. This packing tape is excellent for securing boxes and plastic bubble wrap bags, as well as for affixing labels. With this tape, you can easily conceal any other bar codes. Best of all, the glue backing on this tape had no discernible odors for me, despite my chemical sensitivity. A good eco-friendly lifestyle is so much better for the environment. From clear strapping tape, this is a nice change.

I took the time to go over the tape again
5/5

Buy it. Use it. This is what you should use instead of the clear stuff. I was worried at first that it wouldn't be as durable as I had hoped, but it turned out to be incredible. It's simple to tear and put together. This tape came in handy when I was packing 25 boxes for a cross-country move. Our boxes were loaded onto a truck, unloaded and reloaded into another truck, unloaded and reloaded at a warehouse, and then reloaded and unloaded at their final destination, and they were in perfect condition! Cross tape is a must: ) Purchase additional cross tape and cross take cross tape:.

It's all good
5/5

When I was moving and buying boxes from U-Haul, I came across this tape for the first time. Haul. It adheres well and, unlike clear shipping tape, does not dry out, become brittle, or fall off over time. It's also completely opaque, making it ideal for concealing writing and images on boxes so that labels can be written on them.

It is fairly expensive for tape that is supposed to be superior to clear tapes, so it may be useful but not worth the price
5/5

It looks bad on boxes and doesn't stick well, particularly to recycled cardboard. Just not the most user-friendly tape out there, especially for the price; stick to clear packing/moving/shipping tapes if you need them frequently.

This tape is fantastic

QUIET TAPE that is easy to use and strong
5/5

Because you can simply rip it with your hands, it's ideal for moving boxes. There are no scissors or cutters available. Because I spend all of my time trying not to lose the end, I'm annoyed by the sound and "wafty" nature of standard plastic tape. This tape is quiet, sticks well, and I don't believe it contains any plastic.
