Review: The Best Tape for Every Job — eBay, Christmas, and Everything in Between! - I’ve been using this Scotch Heavy Duty Shipping Tape for years with my eBay packaging and have never had a single issue. It’s strong, clear, and sticks perfectly every time — no peeling or splitting like some cheaper brands. I even use it during the holidays when I’m wrapping and securing Christmas packages because it holds up so well. The six-roll pack from desertcart is a great value and lasts me a long time. If you need reliable, heavy-duty tape that won’t let you down, this is the one to get!
Review: Strong! Reliable! We finally found the right shipping tape! - If you have ordered some of the packing tapes I have in the past and were frustrated by thin, cheap, yellowish, barely sticks tape that has so much static electricity it just wants to stick to itself........ Feel Your Best And Be Calm Because You finally found the right one! This Scotch Heavy Duty is your tape too. It is thick and less likely to wrap back upon itself while your trying to tape a box. It is very secure when applied to almost any surface. The rolls are ample, as you get a good amount of tape on each roll. No cheating on the amount. When applied it is absolutely clear. Fits both my counter dispenser and my hand-held dispenser. I think the most important is the quality and strength of this shipping tape. We won't buy anything else now...done deal!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is the core dimension?**
A: Looks like 3 inches to me...I assumed you meant the inside of roll to be placed on the tape dispenser.

**Q: Is this tape made in the USA?**
A: Yes, Made in the USA

**Q: What material is the Scotch Heavy Duty tape made out of?**
A: Not sure. It's a clear plastic. Claims to be 20 times stronger than acrylic. Great tape!!

**Q: Does this fit in the 1.88 inx800 inch dispenser?**
A: My dispenser core measures 1+11/16" so if these are 3" they would not fit. I had the same question.

*by C***J on January 12, 2026*

It's packing tape. I prefer this brand due to the quality and thickness, as it doesn't tear and cuts easily, and have good adhesive for packing up boxes. Easy to use, and is a great price when compared to other items and stores.
