To wonder why sticky tape is so crap and unsticky these days?

And to want your recommendations for sticky tape that actually stays stuck ?

I pack a lot of parcels, and every brand (including sellotape itself and scotch tape) I've bought for the last couple of years has been utter dogshite. It peels off so easily, and if you're trying to stick it to brown paper then forget it, it literally just falls off and doesn't even pretend to stick.

Why?

Shareholder value. Use shit materials to increase margins to perpetuate the appearance of growth to make 3M etc shareholders richer. And charge more for it.

Trex tape is indestructible. The silver one. Haven't tried the seethrough one

What about modern cling film. Doesn't cling to anything!
