Customer Reviews

Love this tape!5
When I first saw how easy this tape was to use by just tearing it with your fingers - I became a "tear by hand" tape evangelist!

It's very hard to find and I just don't understand why this isn't a best seller in the tape department because it's strong and easy to handle (doesn't try and stick to itself as you are placing it on paper) and it's just so easy to use. The company needs to kick it's marketing department's butt for not doing its job and getting the product out there on all the shelves. Everyone I have spoken to about the tape (I told you I was a tape evangelist) have never heard of it... what a shame for the company!

Interesting idea, imperfect implementation3
If you work with tape a lot, then the convenience of being able to tear it by hand might trump all other factors. But as I only send a package occasionally, I still prefer tape that comes from a dispenser. Why? When you tear a piece, corners tend to stick up. This is hard to describe, but trust me, it's an annoyance, and it means that you might need more tape in order to secure something. Another disadvantage of going dispenser-free: Finding the edge with your fingernail. We've all been there.

I'd only recommend this tape in environments where kids are running around, since it makes sharp dispensers and scissors unnecessary.

This stuff rocks for my home office, for taping boxes for shipping, shipping labels, etc. Seems expensive, but I will use nothing else.
