    Let me clear this up for you real quick if you're not willing to lose time on tape: Duck Easy Start and Scotch Sure Start both tape things together. If that is enough for you, feel confident that this product will do your bidding. All I was going to do was buy an 8 pack of packing tape for shipping artworks I sell. But, then Amazon Reviews got in the way. I can't get that time back, but I can spare you by writing this review which I will cross post to Duck EZ Start. There are two major brands out there, Duck and Scotch, and many more. I'd been using a no name tape and it was fine, albeit would occasionally get stuck to the roll as tape is prone to do without a proper dispenser. After reading countless reviews of it's the perfect tape or it doesn't stick, I chose to buy a sample of each. Last night I began my Christmas shipping. Guess what, they both stick! There are some minor differences. Scotch Sure Start is thinner tape than the Duck, although it didn't tear any easier, I was still glad to have the dispenser teeth. The Scotch comes on a true 3" core roll, so you can reuse the dispenser. The tape sticks to cardboard and paper. IF yours doesn't...you must realize that it requires pressure to adhere. Air bubbles, dust, or not pressing down will allow carelessly placed tape to come loose. It's not one and done. I pack artworks -I make sure its stuck, tight, and more than one piece. If you're taping moving boxes with a real dispenser and you don't press tape with your hand, it's going to come loose where it's not stuck to another piece of tape. The Duck EZ Start tape is thicker. Truth told, I used it more on my recent packing. Can't say exactly why, probably it's thickness. But this same thickness, and maybe the dispenser style occasionally twisted up, but not so bad, tore the piece and moved on. As for the Sure and EZ start thing -I did notice that on each brand I did not have to peel tape off the roll. Why? It seems they both leverage anti-static somehow, but I'm no rocket scientist, so who knows. All I can say is generally frustration-free. I'd say more air bubbles on the Duck tape, I attribute that to the thicker tape. And then there is the weird complaint about noise. First off, I'm not packing in a baby's room. So what, there is noise. But yes, the two both make noise when you tightly stretch a long piece around a box. The Duck, for those who concern themselves with the noise, does sound like the long croak of dying frog, but I could make the Scotch to do a similar, if slightly higher pitched version when I pulled real tightly. This difference is likely connected to the tape thickness. So, if you don't want noise, don't pull long pieces of tape tightly. My only frustration with the Duck EZ is the lack of a 3" core, which you can get without the dispenser, so the dispenser becomes a one time use unless you look for the 1.5 inch core rolls. I suspect Duck EZ in 3" core will fit on the Scotch dispenser, and I'll end up using that no matter which brand I buy. Hope that helps -it's a pandemic, be with your work and the ones you love and buy this tape or that tape -it works when you press it down and enjoy the sound of frogs.
