ProTapes Pro 184HD Rubber High Tensile Kraft Flatback Carton Sealing Tape with Paper Backing, 7 mils Thick, 55yds (50m) Length x 2" (48mm) Width, Dark Brown (Pack of 1)

I tell everyone I know who will listen if they ever move or regularly tape up cardboard boxes that they need to spend the money and buy this tape. Sure, plastic tape is cheaper but it is NOT better. This stuff only sticks like mad to cardboard and brown paper and when it does it doesn't come off easily. It looks better and makes a package look clean and more secure than plastic tape and here's the best part...YOU DON'T NEED SCISSORS!!!! it rips by hand. I even use this stuff to reinforce brown paper gift bags so I can reuse them again and again before throwing them away. I use it to cover up old shipping labels on used boxes, it does that and looks good and is less noticeable. I sell small stained glass panels and I wrap them in brown craft paper like a gift and this is the tape I use, it makes it look professionally done. You can write on it with permanent marker too, let it sit for 20 seconds or it might smear just a little, it won't rub off. Have you ever had to box up all your crap for a move and you know how you have packing paper, bubble wrap, boxes and your stuff all over the place and you keep losing the scissors to cut your tape? no more, you don't need scissors and this stuff doesn't fold up on itself, it doesn't lose the edge and you spend 5 minutes with your fingernail trying to find it, that is so frustrating.It may seem like a lot of money, but you'll use less because it works so well and no one else will use this tape for other things so when you need it for a box there will always be some. And don't forget, you don't need scissors to tear it, you can just tape boxes without stopping.I'm cheap and this was the best value I could find on Amazon.8/11/24 - update - the price has almost doubled since the last time I bought this tape 7 months ago. I'd still buy it, nothing else compares, but I will be more judicial and less liberal with it from now on.

The ProTapes Pro 184HD Kraft Flatback Carton Sealing Tape is a high-quality tape that has exceeded my expectations. It’s strong, durable, and adheres exceptionally well, making it perfect for sealing cartons and packages securely. The kraft flatback finish gives it a professional look, and it holds up great during shipping and storage. I’m very satisfied with this tape and would highly recommend it to anyone needing reliable and effective carton sealing tape. Great product!

I love this tape and use it almost every day. It's strong and is great for putting together cardboard boxes for moving, but it can be used for so many things. I am an artist who uses tape for many things, and this is the one i reach for the most. I use it to label things, sharpie writes perfectly on this tape; I use it to construct things out of cardboard, i use it on paper when i want an interesting texture and color. I like it best for labels because of how well the sharpie adheres to the paper back. The finish is a little glossier than paper, but not nearly as glossy as say traditional plastic packing tape. The tape sticks firmly and stays, but can be removed from cardboard without ripping too much if you know what you're doing and take it slowly, so to some extent it's re-adhesive. I also like that while it's very strong, it is still very thin and can be easily cut open with any sharp tool, even a letter opener, because it is essentially paper. Easy to rip with your hands and easy to get it started to pull off the roll. A definite necessity in my household.

We use this for our shipping needs. We ship portraits on canvas and various collectibles sold online. It is secure and tough. Tears easily from the roll. Price is fair.

My favorite packing tape, wide and sticky and great. I've bought many rolls.

Very strong tape. Very wide. I end up cutting it into smaller strips

If you ever may need to tape up a cardboard box at some point in your future then do yourself a favor and buy a roll of this stuff.It is wide, tough, and sticks securely to cardboard, yet it is easily applied and torn by hand. It is suitable for packing stuff for moving or storage, for shipping, and ad hoc stuff like tacking cardboard pieces together to make a spaceship for a 5 year old.I have tried a ton of different combinations of tapes and techniques to adhere cardboard flaps and this tape is the decisive victor of them all.I love masking tape but sometimes it isn't tough enough.I love painters tape but sometimes it doesn't stick enough.I love scotch tape but sometimes It's too fine.Duct tape tends to ruin surfaces and leaves a clumpy residue.Electrical tape on cardboard is for chumps.But this... This tape is the one that I needed for boxes.

When we had work done in our kitchen, we used this to tape down the floor protectors. I'd had this roll of tape for several years, just sitting in a drawer. When we pulled it out to tape down the floor protectors that had started to come up, this tape worked great.It tears easily and pretty straight. There was plenty of good adhesive on it. And it held the protectors in place like a champ. (We also tried clear plastic packing tape which just came up. I think the dirt/dust affected the adhesive on the packing tape.)Anyway, we finished up the roll I'd bought years back and bought a fresh roll to have on hand. Sturdy, easy-to-use tape.
