It appears that some batches of this tape have a problem with stickiness, however the package I bought works well.  I use this tape to attach PayPal labels to my packages as well as taping the packages themselves.  They work very well, and the clear tape allows me to use paper labels rather than more expensive self-stick labels.  What I like about this tape that it is not as thin as some other packaging tapes I tried, so it is easier to control - it lays evenly where I put it and does not stick with bubbles or to itself.
