The HIGH degree of quality and performance is FAR better than any thin, cheap, low-grade packing tapes !!!
Very STRONG "packing tape" -- I know most people don't really care about the clarity of the tape, nor that it be extra strong -- I did, and I do -- I like the fact that it is stronger than many "inferior", "thinner", "cheaper" tapes; gives me a greater sense of assurance that my package(s) are going to arrive SEALED, just as they left -- The tape is THICKER/STRONGER than most "inferior", "thinner", "cheaper" tapes, as well; adding to the assurance that the package will remain sealed, and the tape won't shred or tear, possibly spilling/damaging product(s) shipped -- For me; I think that the customer receiving there package(s) in the same condition and completely sealed, with a quality product, shows the consumer that YOU as a shipper, CARE -- And the CLARITY of the tape is next to GLASS !!! This can be important for placing tape over shipping labels/barcodes; and there is no distortion of the labels/barcodes when placing this tape over them -- All of these factors, and more, add up to a seriously HIGH QUALITY product, and you use LESS than cheap tapes -- The quality shows, even to the consumer; and that's the bottom line -- You can't really go wrong with this product, it's amazing !!! Even if using for MOVING, it's so strong, it will stick to almost any surface, be it cardboard, plastic, bubble wrap, paper, glass, metal, paint, and so much more, AND it hold it securely, no worries !!!

Take a chance! Great product!
A five star rating is because you pay a tad more for a "name" brand, and you get a quality product. That is what I can say about this tape. It has met all my expectations. It is tough, durable and has great tensile strength. It is crystal clear with no clouding. I was hesitate to order a more expensive brand but after quite a few attempts at the lower cost tapes, and them being sent from various vendors and various manufacturers from the same page here on Amazon, I had to go with something better. The quality of tape I was getting varied, was never the same brand, and simply would not hold up. I ship commercially and this is the tape I now use and highly recommend this tape for those with shipping needs.

Wish I'd found this tape much sooner--cheaper and MUCH better!
This is one of those times when I've been paying a high price for something that wasn't working--Scotch high-end, thicker tape--and found that it was hard to get it to even stay on boxes so I used even more. I tried this after doing a lot of research and was not disappointed. True, I agree with one reviewer who mentioned that it has an "aroma" that's less than desirable--but you're only up close and personal with it while you're sealing your package. It takes so much less effort and sticks much better; I truly wish I had known about it sooner. I've used both Scotch's Premium and Super Strength and they seem to have some labeling and branding confusion as I even called the company to find out the differences as I would order one name and what would be delivered from office-supply stores had the other name on it. Apparently, they're either deliberately keeping both brands out there but are causing lots of confusion. Those days are gone as I've now found this great Duck tape on Amazon. I've now ordered more but went with the great 6 pack with the bonus 2 rolls for a total of 8 from Amazon and saved more than $ .60/roll.

Terrific tape
I have been using the HD Clear Duck tape, but I wanted to give this one a try. It is a bit more expensive but well worth it. Before using Duck Tape I had been using Scotch tape, so I have experience with more than one kind. Compared to HD Clear, this one is easier to remove from the roll, but it sticks to boxes more tightly. With the HD Clear I sometimes have to pull hard, and then too much tape comes out of the roll, meaning I then need to trim it to suitable length. Compared to the bottom of the line Scotch tape I had been using, the HD Clear and HD 260 are about the same price or even slightly less when on sale, and the Duck tapes are better, because the Scotch was not sticking to cardboard boxes as well as the Duck tapes.

Former FedEx Employee's Opinion
I used to work for FedEx for three years. They make you take a packing and shipping course that is created by engineers who have figured out the safest way to pack a box. With that said, I was a bit skeptical using any tape other than what I was used to. This tape is very strong and has great tack. It doesn't break into little stripes or fray off the roll. I would always make sure to buy 3.0 mil+. This tape is veryyy clear; like a glass of water. Not that it really matters to me, but it might to someone else. In short, I would rate this tape a 10. As a comparison, I would rate FedEx's "engineered" tape a 9.

Purchased for simplicity of dispenser and ease of use
Tape is quite good. Have been using it for some time however my wife didn't like the commercial dispenser I currently own ie. confusing tape path and non-intuitive way of installing fresh tape rolls so I purchased this for her to save me back and forth trips to my shop. The dispenser is refillable with no real moving parts to break and is much smaller and lighter than most commercial dispensers. Good for occasional use ie. securely packaging and returning clothing purchases that should have fit but didn't.

SOOO much better than anything else
I have been buying this tape based on the reviews and my own personal experience and success with this tape. For those who don''t know the difference, Good Packing tape needs to be thick, real sticky, and won't tear. Being quiet to un-roll is nice too. Last week I realized I forgot to buy more of this HP260, and made a trip to Office Depot to try some "High-Quality" shipping tape they have, just to get me through the week. Worst mistake I could have made. I guess I'm spoiled with this awesome Duck Brand tape, but I might as well throw the Scotch stuff away. With this Scotch tape from the store I have to double tape everything, it tears from the roll instead of cutting, it's so thin it feels like it will break, and it makes an awful screeching sound if you pull it too hard; even though it was advertized as 'low-noise'. I paid quite a bit more for this tape since it was at a "brick and mortar" store. I guess you don't know how great something is until you have to live without it. I was just placing my order for 8 more rolls, only stopping to make this review! Conclusion: Don't trust any other tape with your shipping needs!

The best packing tape that I've ever used
I just went through my thirteenth household move and this tape is BY FAR this best that I've ever used. It's much better than the stuff moving companies give out and it's no more expensive. This tape is worth it's weight in gold. I packed large boxes full of my heavy cookware, books, DVDs & much more- not one box even dented, let alone fell apart on me. I put some of this tape over & around my open lotion & other pump bottles to prevent leakage or spills- not one leak occurred, for the first time ever during a move to a new home. This could probably hold a building together if need be. If only my nerves & body held together as well during the move as my boxes sealed up with this tape did! This is a little harder to remove than regular tape when unpacking, so keep that in mind. Ladies, it will absolutely ruin your manicure if you try to remove it without scissors or a box cutter, so don't even bother trying to tear this off without a cutting tool. This is tough tape. On the plus side, you can get away with using less of this on your packages than with normal tape, as this seals cardboard tight like nobody's business. I will never use any other tape to send things off in the mail, pack boxes up for a move or close products tight without spillage or leaking. Amazing stuff!

Works great and cost less than others
This is very good packing tape. We used to buy our tape from uline til I found this. Its cheaper and thicker. whats not to like about that. Sure they gave you a tape gun when you bought several rolls but really how many tape guns to you really need, besides with the money I am saving I can afford to buy several good tape guns. This helps add to the bottom line of the P & L every month and the owners like that!! The shipping area is in the part of our repair shop that is not heated or cooled and we have had no issues with the tape not sticking. We reuse most of the boxes that come in and have no problems with the tape. I seen a view reviews on here complaining about a smell, all I smelled was the same smell that all packing tape has. This tape is very clear, after I put the UPS label on it I always run a piece of tape across it to be sure it sticks. The UPS driver has to scan the bar code so you know it is clear if they can do that.

It was always easy to use on a tape gun
On September 8th, 2011 I ordered a Duck Brand HP260 High Performance 3.1 Mil Packaging Tape, 1.88-Inch x 60-Yard, Crystal Clear, 8-Pack (1067839). As I've mentioned before I used to have my own business reselling products on Amazon. Up until this point I fulfilled all my orders, once I tried FBA I never went back (well I'd continue to ship a few items from time to time). Utilizing FBA allowed me to be more flexible with the time I needed to invest in my business. Weekly I would send out about a dozen packages via UPS to Amazon. I've tried many different tapes and I would never trust my valuable products to any packing tape, it had to be the highest quality to ensure it held up. This tape did just that. It was always easy to use on a tape gun, always easy to peel, never splitting down the middle as cheaper / thinner tapes will do. Although this product is a little more expensive overall it was dependable and saved time & frustration. I will never use another brand.
