 Not Sticky Enough for Cardboard Boxes!!Oct 25, 2010
By Tedra
Recently, I bought a 3-count of large packaging tape rolls, and found that they weren't nearly as sticky as necessary to hold cardboard boxes together--the tape would have to be re-pressed down onto the box, and even then, I didn't have confidence that it would stay in place. For further illustration of this poor quality, picture this... you can peel the tape of the roll, re-stick it to itself, and again peel it away with no problem (usually this would result in a tangle of tape, that would have to be thrown away.)
I'm hugely disappointed in these, as I paid the higher price, and choose the 'Scotch' brand over the generic variety, purely for the trusted brand quality. I've since gone back, and had to purchase a different brand of packaging tape, so that I could have confidence my packages would actually stay shut. Please don't label this quality of tape as 'Packaging Tape' when clearly, it's about as strong as simple desk-top tape, and not at all durable enough for packages. A true disappointment to see, and a waste of money.

 WAY better than scotch 371 - excellent quality packing tapeMay 28, 2010
By Joshua E. White
"Joshua W."
They say (unverified) that scotch 371 is the most popular packing tape in the country. My wife and I have worked with a number of different tapes, and we can honestly say that this 3850 tape is awesome. Before trying this tape most will find that 371 (or generic versions equivalent to 371) seem adequate. However, once you try this tape, you will probably be spoiled and not want to go back to anything else. It is so much sturdier and easier to work with. There are less accidental tears, less twisting, and you can tell that your package is more secure (great for piece of mind when you are shipping something heavy or expensive). I know it's a little more expensive than 371 (or equivalents), but the difference in quality are night and day. My wife does the majority of our business shipping, and I think if we went back to using scotch 371 to save a few bucks she may divorce me. Give scotch 3850 a try!

Not sticky at all -- utterly useless!May 07, 2011
By Douglas C. Reher
"dreher650"
I don't know who all these people are posting 5-star reviews of tape (who would be motivated enough by their packaging experience to do that?), but I suspect they are sock-puppets for Scotch. Now, it's possible that I got defective tape, but I bought several rolls and had to throw them all out. The tape would not stick to cardboard, period. After trying to tape a box for shipping, I could pull all of the tape off without damaging the cardboard in the least. It is basically just plastic strip that is *very* mildly tacky. I could run it between my fingers with very little friction at all. Certainly this is not suitable for packaging anything. I guess maybe you could use it for masking, as it would pull away from the wall very easily without damaging, but would also allow paint to leak under the tape, as it does not adhere to any surface.

Best packaging tape on the marketOct 11, 2009
By Cute Chihuahua
I have used this packaging tape for years without problem. I have found it to be the best tape for general packaging and you can rely on it to get your package delivered in one piece. It is very strong and durable and it clear so it looks nice. It works very well in a tape dispenser.

i love this tapeNov 18, 2007
By dontbossme
I can't live without packing tape and it was a bonus this came with a dispenser!! the quality is SOOOOO much better than the expensive stuff the USPS sells and worth the investment of a dozen if you use it more than once a week, as i do. and i'm not even an online seller! my kids use it half the time for art projects!
