Review on Gorilla Packaging Dispenser for Shipping Storage: Optimal Packaging & Shipping Supplies by Tyler Cooley

Revainrating 5 out of 5

HIGHEST QUALITY AND STRONG ribbon

I don't usually write reviews as I've never been so *surprised* by many products. but i remember reading these reviews before i bought this item as i wasn't quite sure if i should buy it. Let me say all this to help others who may be in the same boat as I was two days ago... I wish I could take a picture before I send out all 10 boxes today because it was my first time switched from band to band. a new packing tape company and i have to say i would choose gorilla packing tape over scotch tape EVERY DAY now. It was the strongest, highest quality tape I've ever used (and I ALWAYS ship tons of boxes). Here are a few amazing features of this item that I feel are unique to Gorilla's Tape compared to duct tape: - The dispenser has a strong, well-designed roller behind the blade that helps keep the duct tape straight and easy to apply; The only scotch packing tape I've used (as an equal comparison to this one) has never had a roll like this, let alone a roll! (SEE PHOTO!) - The dispenser itself is thicker, very durable and solid. It's hard to explain, but the mounting area on scotch dispensers is two dividers joined by a fastener to allow rolls of tape to be removed and inserted, but I've always had trouble keeping these parts of the dispenser in order. when you're recording things, and it always annoys me like hell. This gorilla dispenser doesn't, or doesn't have that design at all (thank goodness). If anyone gets what I mean and if anyone is upset about the same scotch problem then BUY. The tape and dispenser are wider so when attempting to seal large items/boxes a much larger surface area is covered. I literally used half as much duct tape as if I had gone with duct tape. THE BLADE IS MUCH sharper and stronger than any tape dispenser. Please beware of this as it might hurt someone, but then again I didn't have the usual problems with tape twisting/overlaying or tape wastage because this blade required only a small flick of the wrist rather than a whole hand of effort (... sorry scotch). I feel like I've missed this tape my whole life and it's definitely weird, but today I packed and labeled 5 boxes in less than 5 minutes because today was my first time using this tape. I felt much more productive doing my job faster and easier. Sorry for the long review but I think this section of the review needs more positivity because this volume deserves the excitement. Hope that helps.

Pros
  • EASY REFILL DISPENSER
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
