The ProTapes Pro 184HD Kraft Flatback Carton Sealing Tape is a high-quality tape that has exceeded my expectations. It’s strong, durable, and adheres exceptionally well, making it perfect for sealing cartons and packages securely. The kraft flatback finish gives it a professional look, and it holds up great during shipping and storage. I’m very satisfied with this tape and would highly recommend it to anyone needing reliable and effective carton sealing tape. Great product!

I am obsessed with this tape. I originally bought it to ship packages and easily close them without using clear sticky tape, but we ended up using moving our 5 bedroom house with this tape and it held up to EVERYTHING. So easy to use and holds amazingly, but easy to open too, since it's webbed paper. Worth the high price tag every time.

I send a lot of packages when selling on ebay. This tape has a good stickiness and is strong but rips easily when you want to tear it. I will buy it again.

If you ever may need to tape up a cardboard box at some point in your future then do yourself a favor and buy a roll of this stuff.It is wide, tough, and sticks securely to cardboard, yet it is easily applied and torn by hand. It is suitable for packing stuff for moving or storage, for shipping, and ad hoc stuff like tacking cardboard pieces together to make a spaceship for a 5 year old.I have tried a ton of different combinations of tapes and techniques to adhere cardboard flaps and this tape is the decisive victor of them all.I love masking tape but sometimes it isn't tough enough.I love painters tape but sometimes it doesn't stick enough.I love scotch tape but sometimes It's too fine.Duct tape tends to ruin surfaces and leaves a clumpy residue.Electrical tape on cardboard is for chumps.But this... This tape is the one that I needed for boxes.

I tell everyone I know who will listen if they ever move or regularly tape up cardboard boxes that they need to spend the money and buy this tape. Sure, plastic tape is cheaper but it is NOT better. This stuff only sticks like mad to cardboard and brown paper and when it does it doesn't come off easily. It looks better and makes a package look clean and more secure than plastic tape and here's the best part...YOU DON'T NEED SCISSORS!!!! it rips by hand. I even use this stuff to reinforce brown paper gift bags so I can reuse them again and again before throwing them away. I use it to cover up old shipping labels on used boxes, it does that and looks good and is less noticeable. I sell small stained glass panels and I wrap them in brown craft paper like a gift and this is the tape I use, it makes it look professionally done. You can write on it with permanent marker too, let it sit for 20 seconds or it might smear just a little, it won't rub off. Have you ever had to box up all your crap for a move and you know how you have packing paper, bubble wrap, boxes and your stuff all over the place and you keep losing the scissors to cut your tape? no more, you don't need scissors and this stuff doesn't fold up on itself, it doesn't lose the edge and you spend 5 minutes with your fingernail trying to find it, that is so frustrating.It may seem like a lot of money, but you'll use less because it works so well and no one else will use this tape for other things so when you need it for a box there will always be some. And don't forget, you don't need scissors to tear it, you can just tape boxes without stopping.I'm cheap and this was the best value I could find on Amazon.8/11/24 - update - the price has almost doubled since the last time I bought this tape 7 months ago. I'd still buy it, nothing else compares, but I will be more judicial and less liberal with it from now on.

Good for: fixing up old cardboard boxes - especially the decorative ones you’d like to keep for sentimental reasons rather than display. Otherwise is a bit of an eyesore on a patterned box.-occasional shippingNot good for/value isn’t there for: frequent shipping. Yes the boxes look good and hold up well. I get the same with a thick plastic tape that costs me around $1 a roll, versus this $7 a roll. Can’t really imagine a world in which this isn’t very overpriced tape. I ship sometimes 30+ boxes a week. I used this within one week. Realized it wasn’t making since for shipping so used the last few yards to just fix a few boxes I had around the house that were starting to wear out. Might buy again for this purpose if price was around $4-5, or if I could buy in bulk at a more significant discount.

I love this tape and use it almost every day. It's strong and is great for putting together cardboard boxes for moving, but it can be used for so many things. I am an artist who uses tape for many things, and this is the one i reach for the most. I use it to label things, sharpie writes perfectly on this tape; I use it to construct things out of cardboard, i use it on paper when i want an interesting texture and color. I like it best for labels because of how well the sharpie adheres to the paper back. The finish is a little glossier than paper, but not nearly as glossy as say traditional plastic packing tape. The tape sticks firmly and stays, but can be removed from cardboard without ripping too much if you know what you're doing and take it slowly, so to some extent it's re-adhesive. I also like that while it's very strong, it is still very thin and can be easily cut open with any sharp tool, even a letter opener, because it is essentially paper. Easy to rip with your hands and easy to get it started to pull off the roll. A definite necessity in my household.
