Packing Tape

[ArseyMoor]

Can anyone recommend a good strong packing tape please ?
The ones I've tried so far don't even stick to the boxes and rip too easily and I've got several flat pack boxes to assemble before I can start packing.

We had got ours from the £1 shop before. It was perfectly adequate

Watching the guys pack ours for a 3000 mile move, tape the bottom twice, then put a piece as a T across the bits going up the side to make sure the ends dont move.

Scotch seems the best for me, cheaper ones I find peel off the boxes!

I have had great success with the tape off eBay at £8 / 12-rolls Inc P&P.
Although it sticks well, for a long double move & storage I made sure it was wrapped around the box so it was stuck to itself. Couldn't fault it.

Thank you.
I've tried the pound shops and Wilko tapes and looked at B & Q but the reviews are poor.
I'll try the scotch thanks.

I've been a bit nervous to try the eBay/Amazon tape but I'll have a look thanks

So was I but I was using so much I had nothing to loose and as it turned out it was a great decision. Same with FRAGILE, tape, white fabric tape & indelible markers. Terrific value.

The one our Packers used which we still have some rolls of left over is branded Cellofix, and it is night and day better than the rubbish we previously used. Definitely don't cheap out, a few quid saved will absolutely not be worth the stress of the tape failing on moving day if say the it's raining and the boxes get a bit wet!

Thanks , I'll give it a go ,😁

Gorilla tape, bloody brilliant stuff
