3M Moving Essentials (Scotch Packaging Tape + Scotch Felt Pads + Command Picture Hanging Strips + Scotch Brite Sponges)

Pure nightmare! totally failed to hold.

[Employee of 3m-scotch] We purchased this product a month ago and used it to seal boxes we were using to move. Everything looked great, until we went to move. The tape kept falling off of the boxes and the boxes were opening while being transported to and from the truck. It was a nightmare! We can't believe that what used to be the "best go to product in the business" fell apart as much as it did.

The dispenser works but could be designed better

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the product to evaluate for free from 3M. I actually have an older model that I use all the time and both models seem to be the same style so I can attest to its durability but there are things that can make it better. The cardboard piece that covers the blade can not easily be removed (see picture), sure the flap piece comes off but the part behind the blade does not slide out once the flap is off. This can interfere with getting a ...

Great Packaging Tape with a Few Hick-ups

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a free sample of 3M Scotch Heavy Duty Packaging Tape and used this product to seal a package to mail. I had difficulty getting the tape started. There is a "tab" that appears to be the starting point, but in fact the tape ran over and past this point, so I struggled to find the beginning of the roll. Also, there is a piece of cardboard that says "remove here" that protects the cutting blade edge which is a great safety feature. ...

Not just for packing!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is more than a packing tape! Although 3M gave me a free roll of Scotch Heavy Duty Packing Tape to evaluate this is the only brand I have bought or trusted for years. First, for the purpose intended this tape puts on a great seal on the box or what ever you are sealing the first time. No using extra tape to go over what you already taped, it just stays down. I have also found many other uses. It is great at picking up imbedded dog...

Scotch Shipping tape is the best packing tape.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a sample of Scotch Heavy Duty Shipping tape to review. I have used Scotch shipping tape for years. This doesn't seem a whole lot different from what I've used previously. It may be a bit thicker. I don't like the dispenser it came on however. Just too flimsy and it's hard to cut the tape with. I have a regular dispenser that I use and it works so much better. I recently moved and only used 3M tape for all the boxes I packed. T...

Super strong holding power, tears well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I volunteer to evaluate products for 3M, and the company recently sent me a sample of Scotch Heavy Duty Shipping tape. I used it to seal up a package being sent across the country and it held up really well. I did notice that a piece to grab when first starting the tape was missing and that would be really nice in order to start the tape. It stuck to my package no problem, but it also kept sticking to the holder that it glides on just before th...

This tape is Great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this tape! I recently started selling things online. As you know I have to make sure the package arrives safely to the customer. I have been using a generic tape, but it was hard to use because it kept splitting on the roll and it was not sticking properly on the tabs so I was constantly trying to fix it. In addition, because it tore so easily I was having to put two or three layers of tape to insure the safe arrival of the package. With...

Outstanding tape for shipping

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having family in another state, I frequently am sending gifts for birthdays, anniversarys, etc. This means boxing up gifts and mailing them. This tape is excellent for sealing boxes. The tape is heavy and seals extremely well. When using UPS, I print my own labels and this tape is perfect for covering that label and still allows them to scan. It is easy to dispense, cut and apply. In fact, one can use the dispenser to affix the tape to the sid...

Horrible, how do you call this tape?

This is the worst tape I've ever used in my life. You would think that the biggest brand of tape would have figured it out. Duck packing tape is 10 million times better.

Good once you figure it out

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Maybe I'm dense but I have a hard time getting the tape set up on the dispenser/tape breaker. I don't use packing tape frequently enough to remember how to start a new roll. Once I finally manage though, it works just fine. Used it to repair dried up tape on some old cardboard boxes used for storage and it worked well. The tape is sticky and of the good quality I'm used to from 3M tapes. The dispenser/tape breaker part seems well made and does ...
