After A "Slow Start", It Was A "Moving Experience"

Having received the product, I wasn't ready to use it immediately. However, when the time came to store some files, this was chance to test the new 3M Moving Packing Tape.

Let me preface this by saying that overall, my tape-related experiences have been good, that's why I'm baffled with the rolls I was trying to use today. In the past, I've used the "Heavy Duty" version, but we thought that Tough Grip would be enough for packing.I should have been suspicious when the tape roll didn't make that signature unsticking noise when I rolled it. It kept peeling up at the ends so I tried to tape THOSE down with more tape. When I finally lifted the box, the tape slid off in my hands in one big tangle and the box fell to the floor. I didn't want to waste this tape, so I tried to use it to tape some headphone wires together, and not even that worked. It's so ineffective, it doesn't even stick to itself. It was worse than masking tape.The ... MoreLet me preface this by saying that overall, my tape-related experiences have been good, that's why I'm baffled with the rolls I was trying to use today.

I received Scotch Moving Packaging Tape for free in return for my honest opinion. Truthfully, I did not expect it to be any different than other tape on a roll, but I was proved wrong. This is what I found to be different about it. Finding the beginning of the roll was easy. The tape pulls off the roll so smoothly that I did not have to wrestle with the dispenser to adhere the tape to the box. The metal cutting edge easily tears the tape exactly where needed. Scotch Moving Packaging Tape is thicker than previous tapes I have used before and the adhesive has great sticking power. To test the toughness of it, I taped the box and then held my breath while I turned it upside down and shook it. One wrap did the job. I did not feel the need to wrap and rewrap the box. ... MoreI received Scotch Moving Packaging Tape for free in return for my honest opinion.

That is definitely a time saver. I really like the dispenser as I feel it has a great design feature that keeps the cut edge from attaching itself to the back to the roll when cutting. I find it so frustrating when I have to waste time trying to find the end of a roll of tape because it attached itself to the tape roll when I made a cut. The Scotch Moving and Packaging Tape dispenser is lightweight and easy to use. All of those reasons provide you with the ability to quickly tape the box and move on to the next one. I would recommend buying Scotch Moving and Packaging Tape because the lighweight dispenser allows you do it yourself quickly, the sticking power secures the box with one swipe which saves time and saves money by not needing multiple wraps. Should you run out of tape, the dispenser is refillable.

Now that's a wrap!
17 July 2023

Was looking for reinforced packaging tape for an international package. Found this instead. Very nice quality and it was refreshing that the tape dispenser kept the tape where it should and cut cleanly. It didn't stick to itself after using as so many others do and unless you have long fingernails, you can't pry back up. Package is taped completely and I have no doubt this will arrive intact. Will use this for other taping jobs as it's heavy duty. Can't go wrong with Scotch.

Powerful strength and smooth application dispenser
5 May 2022

I volunteer to evaluate products from 3M and the company recently sent me a sample of the Scotch Moving Packaging tape. I needed to move some heavy boxes from my basement up the stairway to my outer storage room, so I tested the tape out. I was afraid of boxes opening or tipping over. I was very pleased with the holding power of the Scotch Moving tape. It held on to my packages very securely even when they jiggled back and forth! This tape will hold up to 80 pounds! It's tough!It comes with an easy dispenser that can be refilled. The smooth unwinding flow of the roll of tape and the sharp, precise cutting edge is a great feature! I recommend this tape for secure packaging and moving!

Strong tape with an easy glide dispenser.
16 May 2022

I packed my grandmother’s delicate fine china dishes in a box to move them but I was afraid that something would happen to them. They mean a lot to me and I have very fond memories of them as a child. I couldn’t just use any packaging tape to seal my grandmother’s fine china. After reading that the Scotch moving packaging tape would hold 80 pounds I felt better and packed everything up. The bonus is you can pretty much use the dispenser one handed.I do have some tips when using the packaging tape. I usually pull some of the tape out of the dispenser then put it on the box. I was wasting tape that way. When you first get the tape, put the tape over the two triangles on the dispenser.

You then can effortlessly pull back and the tape will glide on the box. If you hold the dispenser tight, it won’t glide like it’s supposed to. I included a picture of the two triangles on the dispenser and where to put the tape. Also, a video to show you where to hold it.

The Right Shipping Tape At Last!

I received this product free. I have always been a fan of Scotch Packaging Tape and will forever be one. Part of the issues with the old tapes were getting them started and keeping them going without wasting a few feet worth of tape trying to get it restarted.With the Scotch® Sure Start Shipping Packaging Tape I call this Problem Solved! While the tape is strong enough to bond to all the boxes I've used it on, it's easy to get the roll re-going if the tape happens to slide back onto the roll surface. I have found that one strip of Scotch® Sure Start Shipping Packaging Tape on the box seals it beautifully, without the need of tape over tape to keep it secure.

The best tape all around
10 May 2022

I am moving & the timing for trying this tape was perfect to receive this free product from 3M to evaluate. I love the dispenser that allows to tear the tape perfectly. I love the sure start roll that tears perfectly with each use. The tape is strong enough to tape boxes closed & keep them closed. I also used it to seal an envelope to mail. The dispenser is quiet unlike other ear piercing dispensers I have used before. It is very easy to use for those of us with arthritis. I am proud to use a USA made product using globally sourced materials & was surprised to find out the dispenser is made from recycled product. All around this is the best packaging tape to use. I was very lucky to be able to sample such an excellent product. I highly recommend it!

First I removed the bright yellow caution piece, then, Located the start of tape, which even with long nails, was easy to start. I threaded the tape, boxed, closed and easily & quietly taped the packaged. After I finish taping I always fold the start back on itself for easy start next time.

Very good quality tape
16 May 2022

This tape has several improvements from previous Scotch packing tape that I've used. First, it's very easy to start using. Also, the tape doesn't split down the middle like other packing tapes sometimes do (some tapes I've used almost seem to shred when you're trying to unwind them to use). It's a good, strong packing tape without even being listed as heavy duty. I got my tape already on the dispenser and the one thing I didn't like was that it seemed like it was on the dispenser backwards. The way it was on there, the tape stuck to the cutter every time you finished using it and it seemed awkward to pull it against the cutter to get it to cut. I took the roll out of the dispenser, flipped it around so the tape was coming off the other way, put it back on it and it ... MoreThis tape has several improvements from previous Scotch packing tape that I've used.

It's really a good quality tape.
