Best packing Tape
Do you need packaging tape for storage boxes or shipping boxes?
Acrylic packing tape is your best bet for storage boxes. Acrylic adhesive can handle a variety of temperatures and setting, including warehouses, garages and storage facilities. Plus, acrylic packaging tape can maintain it seal for more than three years. Hot melt shipping tape is the best for shipping boxes because of its superior holding power. Shipping boxes are typically subjected to rough handling in transit. Hot melt packaging tape ensures your boxes stay sealed. You can also use hot melt tape to strap boxes together.Recommended Packaging Tape

(5 / 5 stars) by Nancy from Oakland County, MIThe Carton Sealing Tape is Tape - but this thicker than the normal packing tape. I find I don't waste any since it doesn't fold into its self. One taping on the seam of a package is all you need.

How big is your packaging tape dispenser?
Make sure you note the size of your packing tape dispenser and choose tape rolls with corresponding core sizes. So if your packaging tape has a 3" core, you need a packaging tape dispenser should also have a 3" core. Otherwise, you tape won't fit on the dispenser.

This is the best tape dispenser ever! So easy and so quiet - dispenser keeps tape clean and from re-winding on the roll. No more broken fingernails!
@Jessie Rogers: Opting for the "low noise" packing tape was the best decision I've made in a long time.
