About Amazon Basics Packing Tape, Designed for Moving, Storage and Packing, Shipping and Mailing
Overall Feedback:
91% positive
89% praised for its strong adhesive, while 11% found it didn't stick well
I have found that the tape has excellent tensile strength, is resistant to tearing, and sticks well.
I have found that this tape is much stronger than the packing tape I had been using, with a bit thicker and much stronger adhesive.
After leaving it on a paper box surface for some time, I found that the adhesive strength increased.
As far as I can tell, the adhesive strength is the same, but it is definitely thicker.
89% praised its clear, easy-to-read labels, but 11% found them hard to see
I provided a photo showing the clear visibility of the packing tape roll, with the Amazon logo visible through the entire thickness of the roll.
The tape I'm using is crystal clear with no haze, unlike some other clear tapes.
The Amazon brand tape is thick, sturdy, strong and crystal clear.
I have noticed a decline in the quality of clear packing tape over the past decade. The tape is thinner and the adhesive does not provide a tight bond on cardboard boxes.
89% liked the convenient dispenser design, but 11% found it flimsy
The tape fits on the dispenser and is similar to the name brand.
This tape is easy to control and does not stick to the dispenser unlike other tapes, which shows my positive sentiment towards the dispenser quality of packing-tape.
I had to buy a large tabletop dispenser to use with these rolls.
The non-sticky side material of the tape was not good for allowing it to easily release when using a tabletop dispenser, which kept pulling the dispenser off the shelf.
84% liked how easy it was to apply
This tape is easier to use than thin cheap tape. If the end of the tape accidentally sticks to the roll, it is easier to find the end again.
The packing tape is easy to use with great thickness, good adhesion, and tears easily.
I preferred the tape because it was easier to work with when packing moving boxes, even though it was not as thick as the one from the post office.
I was impressed with the tape when I used it for the first time.
89% appreciated its tear-resistant material, but 11% experienced tears
The tape stretches a little under load, but it doesn't break easily unless cut, indicating good tear resistance.
The tape has good adhesion, but tears easily despite its thickness.
I am afraid that the tape does not stick on packing boxes and I worry that when the movers come, the boxes will come apart and precious items will be damaged or broken.
89% appreciated the perfect thickness, while 11% found it too thin or narrow
The tape has good adhesion and a great thickness, but tears easily.
I measured the tape thickness using a mil gauge and compared it with Uline S-243 (2 mil thick).
