Ultra-Durable Water-Activated Tape for Secure Packing 2Pk. 2.75 in 450 Ft Brown Kraft Gum Tape Provides Heavy Duty Adhesive for Packaging and Shipping. Fiberglass Reinforced for Extra Strong Bond.

Works well and sticks without soaking it,

This tape offers a very durable finish when put onto a cardboard box. It is annoying to have to add water but you get used to it with a spray bottle. The tape takes several minutes to temporary dry and full-strength form my experience will take several hours. There are strings inside the tape itself which I assume adds strength overall. I been shipping over 500 boxes with these and I had no complaints from my customer regarding the tape coming off or anything. Overall good for the price and perfect for small businesses.

I have used paper tapes for 39 years after being told by USPS employees that it was required to safely ship high value packages. At the time I shipped Gold and the package had to be tamper proof per USPS requirements for insurance. I have used the paper tapes ever since, clear conventional tape rapidly deteriorate in dry vlimates like Arizona and becomes useless.

We use this type of packing tape for our small, vitamin retail distribution business. For 10 years we have used kraft tape from ULine but for a couple of reasons including shipping costs, we looked for an alternative. We use a lever actuated tape dispenser like this tape was meant for. I have been watching with a wary eye as some of the reviews have noted problems with glue. So far we have not seen anything like that. Our dispenser does a good job of wetting the glue and in small and large packages we have not seen any issues. I will update this if it becomes necessary but so far this tape has been reasonably priced and has performed well.

Perhaps a little more expensive than some of the other similar tape on Amazon but what you save at checkout you loose 100 fold when you actually use the cheaper tape. With this tape, once I’ve loaded the machine it’s extremely rare I’ll ever have a jam or need to mess with the machine until it runs out of tape. The cheaper rolls were so thin that humidity from the air caused the tape to curl and then jam the machine at least every few minutes. All tape is not created equal and in this case, this tape glides through the machine, has just the right amount of adhesive and worth every penny.

Lol. Reason I am laughing is because I did mot buy it for packing. I am doodling on it and you can cut it anywhere you want and put on a journal page or greeting card. Great roll of tape. Have not tried to use the adhesive side.

I needed this Kraft gum tape for an antique dispenser that I had for my business. It arrived promptly and worked perfectly. After feeding it through my old machine (probably from the 1950's or older), I was so happy that it worked so well. You just have to get used to how to use the tape properly. It's a balance to figure out exactly how much water you want on the tape and making sure to hold it down for a moment to get a good grip. (I make sure to smooth down the edges a few times before walking away from a freshly sealed package). Very happy with this product and will definitely reorder.

This vendor cheaped out considerably on this tape. STAY AWAY. You can feel the poor quality and you will see it when it sticks worse and jams your machine.
