You can always find the end and the tape does not separate as some cellophane tapes do I’ve been using this tape for about five years now
Primarily use it as freezer tape because I wrap all my meat and freezer paper instead of plastic bags, this does not come off even when placed in the freezer I can honestly say this is the best cellophane tape I’ve ever used

I am very happy I purchased the Duck EZ packaging tape. It is amazing. I have had a lot of problems with the Scotch packaging tape I am using. This Duck tape really works well and I have experienced no problems. It has a great dispenser that has a roller for the tape that makes it very easy to use and makes the job of packing boxes easier and faster.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST tape
Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2024
Everything you want from a tape - to tape good, to be silent when pulling it from the roll (no horrible screeching sounds!) and not having to bend the end when finished in order to easily find the finishing line and pull it off.

5.0 out of 5 stars My packaging tape go-to
Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2024
I used to buy a cheaper brand of packaging tape but became frustrated with how it tore and was difficult to get re-started.
This tape is so easy to use and is more durable that I wouldn't consider buying the cheaper tape.
