I was disappointed with this tape - the tape is very narrow - just over 1/2 inch wide - not even a 5 /claims 8 inches, the thin band seems to stretch over time, and the "black" print is grayer black and smaller, so I wasn't expecting that. If I had known it was so narrow and thin I would not have ordered it. Certainly not worth the price, but it's the right strap for a travel sewing kit, just not at the price.
