Pros & Cons

Pros

Amazon basics packing tape is here to rescue your sanity and your stuff. It isn’t anything to rant and rave about, it’s tape. I'd watch it, popcorn in one hand and a roll of tape in the other!



Cons

Amazon basic packing tape is too thin to fit on a basic tape dispenser. The tape tears unevenly and you have to find where the edge reattached itself to the roll, unroll it and cut it off and start over. Do not buy this packing tape from amazon.

It keeps sticking to itself at the slighest opportunity, irritating & wasteful. The only great thing is that it's somewhat sticky. However, its acoustic is horrible.
