I bought this tape for shipping, and found that it absolutely is quite sticky as all the other reviews stated. I did notice that I still had to secure the ends very well because they would start to lift from rubbing, but that is standard for any tape.One recommendation is to have a pair of scissors just for the tape. It leaves sticky residue behind on the scissors & makes them pretty useless on paper after a few cuts of the tape. Overall it serves it's purpose.
