Review on πŸ“¦ Scotch Strapping Tape Yards 8950 30: Superior Strength and Durability for Secure Packaging by Bobby Plymell

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Happy to report the tape has served its purpose

I bought this tape to seal some heavy boxes when moving abroad. I needed a tape strong enough to withstand the pressure and rough handling on the few flights I had. I'm happy to report that the tape has done its job. It should be noted, however, that although this tape is significantly thinner than Duck's filament tape, it is significantly cheaper. Second, it was sometimes difficult to get the tape off the roll as the tape tended to tear along the thread lines (not very convenient as I buy it for its thread). Third (and I think this is common with strapping and tape in general) - the tape tends to pull away from the box unless it's attached to another piece of tape. For example, we left our moving boxes and the tape that had gone up to the sides from the bottom fell off and I had to tape them to make them stick better to the box. For now I know what other type of heavy duty tape I can use for things like moving, so I'll stick with it for now.

Pros
  • Envelopes, Postage and Shipping
Cons
  • Some small items
