Review on πŸ“¦ GTSE Shipping and Packaging Supplies - Optimal Packing and Shipping Solutions by Adam Tidd

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Get the point, but consider that before you buy.

Overview of GTSE Fragile Shipping Tape, 1.88 in. x 72 yd. Before opening, I noticed the ripples in the buns, which gave me a taste of the quality I was expecting. I like the fact that the tape clearly states "Fragile" for sensitive content. By the way, this isn't the strongest tape and doesn't hold up well. It also breaks easily. It has some stretch, but I wouldn't use this fragile tape alone to wrap boxes. It can be used as a single piece of tape, but it takes a few turns to secure the box and the rolls will run out fairly quickly if used in this way. The film itself is slightly transparent, so the rich whites and reds on the cardboard fade somewhat but are still clearly visible. The grip is not the best. I actually had experience gluing boxes and the tape started falling off so I had to go around the whole box to make it stick to itself (remember this is just to put a fragile label on the box and not actually using it to seal the box). The 6-pack is expensive because it's not as strong as heavy-duty shipping tape. It can be cheaper to just use regular shipping tape with fragile stickers, or just write a word on the packaging, although it will look more professional. I would say either shop around or find one for a lower price.
