When my wife and i moved from Florida to New York, we packed up all of our boxes using generic tape that we purchased at Staples. Although it was during the cool season in Florida, we discovered that every box we had packed, the tape was falling off. That's when I first started using Scotch Heavy Duty Shipping Packaging Tape. After reinforcing all of the cartons, we were delighted to see that the Scotch brand tape remained firmly on each box.
