Duck EZ Start Packing Tape, 1.88 Inches x 54.6 Yards, Clear, 8 Pack (282404)

I like it.Seems like a good price for the amount you get.We use a tape dispenser thingy with this tape. As long as it’s in the dispenser it’s all great.But it’s hard to get it off the roll if it slips out of the dispenser and sticks to the tape roll. But all tape does that..Good strong tape I use to ship packages for my business.I recommend it.

This is the only brand I buy now because it saves me from so much frustration. I had tape from other brands and they keep splitting in the middle which gets me so mad. This brand is so easy to use and doesn’t do that. It’s so satisfying and easy. I would recommend.

I love this tape. It sticks wonderfully and is easy to start and roll onto packages or whatever you're taping.This multi pack deal was great! I was purchasing individual rolls prior to finding this deal and now I'll be reordering here.

Let me clear this up for you real quick if you're not willing to lose time on tape: Duck Easy Start and Scotch Sure Start both tape things together. If that is enough for you, feel confident that this product will do your bidding.All I was going to do was buy an 8 pack of packing tape for shipping artworks I sell. But, then Amazon Reviews got in the way. I can't get that time back, but I can spare you by writing this review which I will cross post to Scotch Sure Start. There are two major brands out there, Duck and Scotch, and many more. I'd been using a no name tape and it was fine, albeit would occasionally get stuck to the roll as tape is prone to do without a proper dispenser. After reading countless reviews of it's the perfect tape or it doesn't stick, I chose to buy a sample of each. Last night I began my Christmas shipping. Guess what, they both stick! There are some minor differences. Scotch Sure Start is thinner tape than the Duck EZ Start. It didn't tear any easier, so I was still glad to have the dispenser teeth. The Scotch comes on a true 3" core roll, so you can reuse the dispenser with an 8 pack of rolls. The tape sticks to cardboard and paper.IF yours doesn't...you must realize that it requires pressure to adhere. Air bubbles, dust, or not pressing down will allow carelessly placed tape to come loose. It's not one and done. I pack artworks -I make sure it's stuck, tight, and more than one piece. If you're taping moving boxes with a real dispenser (has handle) and you don't press the tape with your hand, it's going to come loose where it's not stuck to another piece of tape.The Duck EZ Start tape is thicker. Truth told, I used it more on my recent packing. Can't say exactly why, probably its thickness. But with this thickness, and maybe the dispenser style, the tape occasionally twisted up, but not so bad. I tore the piece and moved on. As for the Sure and EZ start thing -I did notice that, on each brand, I did not have to peel tape off the roll. Why? It seems they both leverage anti-static somehow, but I'm no rocket scientist, so who knows. All I can say is both are generally frustration-free. I'd say I had more air bubbles on the Duck tape, I attribute that to the thicker tape, but then, as I said, I used it more than the Scotch on this job.And then there is the weird complaint about noise. First off, I'm not packing in a baby's room. So what, there is noise. But yes, the two both make noise when you tightly stretch a long piece around a box. The Duck, for those who concern themselves with the noise, does sound like the long croak of dying frog, but I could make the Scotch to do a similar, if slightly higher pitched, version when I pulled real tightly. This difference is likely connected to the tape thickness. So, if you don't want noise, don't pull long pieces of tape tightly.My only frustration with the Duck EZ is the lack of a 3" core, which you can get without the dispenser, so the dispenser becomes a one time use unless you look for the 1.5 inch core rolls in an 8 pack. I suspect Duck EZ in 3" core will fit on the Scotch dispenser, and I'll end up using that no matter which brand I buy.EDIT: The OTHER frustration is throwaway dispensers! If you cannot easily find 1.5 inch core Shurtech EZ Start or any Duck branded tape for that matter to refill the dispenser, then Shurtech is part of the problem, not the solution. At least Scotch uses the standard size 3" core. The 1.5 inch core is great for smaller hands, etc, but NOT if I cannot refill the thing.Hope that helps -it's a pandemic, be with your work and the ones you love, and buy this tape or that tape -it works when you press it down and enjoy the sound of frogs.

Great product, great price!

Strong and not loud to use when taping a package

I've always liked this tape. The multi-pack value is unbeatable!

I use a lot of tape and this is the only brand I use. It seems to be a little thicker then other brands so it doesn’t roll uneven and get messed up like some of the other brands. The last rolls I bought seemed old and didn’t roll as easy.

I don't understand how this tape has such good reviews. It makes me wonder if I got a dud? First off, the adhesion was very medicore, I might as well have used scotch tape. Secondly, 20 ish yards??? I've used this to just seal 5 boxes and it's now almost empty!!The only good thing I can say about this tape is that it is thick and doesn't split. But even with the dispenser, the end piece of tape wouldn't stick to it so I had to keep peeling it off of the roll anyway! If it weren't for the tape not splitting I would have returned or tossed it out. Thank god it was so cheap so I don't totally feel like I got ripped off here.. Definitely ordering a different brand now!

I bought some Canada Post packing tape. What a waste of money! Used it once and then I couldn’t find where the darned stuff started again. I had a roll of the Duck brand around that was almost all gone but just enough left to seal up another package. Ordered this from Amazon to replace old roll, but you can get better deal and more than twice the quantity of it from Canadian Tire.

Duck Brand has always been the best for my shipping needs.This one I'm finding is not staying stuck on my boxes.Bit disappointed for how expensive it is.

This is the best packing tape I ever used. It never sticks to itself so I can't find the end. The dispenser works well guiding the tape where it needs to be. Much better than the big awkward tape dispensers. Great width. Gets the job done quicky

Its great tape but it is a bit loud and squeaky. I got this cuz i wanted the holder but then i got the quieter version of this brand and it doesnt fit those rolls. But it is nice to have the roll with cutter when your taping up boxes. Overall its great.
