Review on 📦 UBoxes Smart Moving Tape 1 Bedroom: Hassle-Free Packing and Easy Relocation by Mark Morrow

Revainrating 4 out of 5

An absolute MUST for a big move!

After 20 years things can accumulate in the house. But getting rid of a lot of these things just to replace them wasn't the best idea, and packing them to take with us was our only option. It turned out that this tape was indispensable for the move. As an added convenience, when we arrived at our new home, I had a "moving book" of things I needed to take care of, and I put part of that volume on a page that color-coded each room (we did, we did don't have four bedrooms, but we had other rooms that needed to be identified - like our office, garage and attic). Now when we arrive at our new home, we know exactly where every box in every room belongs. We also made sure we had a tape recorder. Keep it in a small box with various tapes inside and carry it around the rooms packed. This kept all the different reels with the gun in one place, and Fragile or Unpack First tape could be used if needed - just be careful when removing it from the tape gun for reeling . over the edge so it doesn't stick to itself you will have a hard time unrolling/starting it again. THIN and sticks to itself so be careful when trying to peel it off the roll. my color book) *DO NOT RELY ON THIS TAPE TO SEAL YOUR BOXES! Tape just isn't enough! We used clear plastic tape to secure the boxes and then used a strip of color coded tape at the top and edges to identify each box. Another good idea when assembling is to hang a large marker around your neck and label each crate with the crate's contents - you'll still want to know what you put in the crate, even if the room is marked with tape is. Overall I think this is a great idea and easier to use. as a sticker for each room because you can see the tape on the top and sides of the boxes (with labels you have to stick more than one on each box and they will quickly run out, also the tape is quickly applied with a tape gun)

Pros
  • Packing tape
Cons
  • unreliable
