Review on Scotch Shipping Packaging Dispenser 142 6 by Aaron Schultz

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Ok but note these are smaller rolls

This is a fairly standard and good product. Just note that these are SMALL buns. which isn't so clear from the drawing (or an estimate of how many 800 inches you have in your head). I posted an image comparing small rolls (22 yards) to large rolls (56 yards). This 6 pack was enough for two home moves using the 30-40 boxes I packed, often with 3 strips on each side (due to some used/weak boxes). And there are two roles left. So here's how much you can expect from them when you use them to move. I think it's a good deal. The tape is of excellent quality, there are no problems with it. The price doubles when you buy a piece in the pharmacy. I just tried the "Silent Ones" on Amazon and they are great! They're from another link (a bit more expensive, but if you hate tape squeaks, give it a try). Scotch Sure Start Shipping Tape with Refillable Dispenser 1.88" x 38.2 yards (3450S-RD) (that's 38.2 yards on a large roll - slightly less tape than on a regular large roll). Edit 2017: I moved again. I had 20 boxes and used up all 6 rolls. They went very fast. Something has changed here. It can't be that they have as much ribbon as in 2015 when I did it 2 turns later and I still had ribbon left (and I used more boxes). I didn't look at the price but bigger buns would be better.

Pros
  • packing tape
Cons
  • disappearing
