Product Description

From the Manufacturer
In 1930, 3M engineer Richard Drew invented an attractive, moisture-proof material to help grocers and bakers seal up their packages. Over 70 years later, Scotch^® tape boasts over 400 varieties sold under the Scotch^® and 3M™ brands.
Now indispensible in homes and offices, Scotch^® tapes offer specialty and general solutions for many projects--from crafts and gift-wrapping to mounting and everyday sealing.

Scotch^® Magic™ Tape
Frosty on the roll but invisible on paper, Scotch^® Magic™ Tape features the original matte-finish design for a strong hold and seamless look. This tape pulls off the roll and cuts smoothly, resisting splits and tears for a sturdy piece. Thanks to its gentle adhesive, you can stick then re-stick each piece as your project demands, then jot a helpful note with a pen or pencil on top when you're done.
Ideal Use: All home and office needs and craft projects.

Scotch^® GiftWrap Tape
Keep your presents secure and looking fabulous with Scotch^® GiftWrap Tape. Featuring a unique satin finish, this tape pulls smoothly from the roll and disappears on most gift-wrap papers for a seamless close. The paper holds together, and your gift takes on a professional appearance.
Ideal Use: Gift-wrapping.
Scotch^® MultiTask Tape
For those everyday jobs, Scotch^® MultiTask Tape features a strong, moisture-resistant material ideal for a wide range of taping tasks. Thanks to its high-quality performance and unique design with crystal clarity, it's easy to subtly add a strip to a project for a professional look and a secure hold.
Ideal Use: General tasks around the home and office, including household mending and sealing.
Scotch^® Double-Sided Tape
Versatile and convenient, Scotch^® Double-Sided Tape offers a mess-free alternative to glue sticks for those light-duty attaching and mounting tasks.

As a bonus, this tape is photo-friendly so you can keep your memories securely attached and looking good.
Ideal Use: Craft projects, mounting, sealing, gift-wrapping, and decorating.

Scotch^® Removable Tape
Scotch^® Removable Tape features a unique adhesive that holds papers securely, while allowing you to remove or reposition each strip as needed. Because of its matte-finish, this tape adds a professional touch to layouts or posters. For those moments when you require a little explanation, jot a quick note on top with a pen or pencil.
Ideal Use: General tasks around the home and office. Great for art, graphic design, or architectural layout projects.

Customer Reviews

So I bought the lime green one at my local office supply super store thinking all cute dispensers were created equal. Unfortunately, this one was a disappointment. The biggest problem I have with it is that when you pull up to peel off tape (and I'm not even talking about a 12-noon angle here, I mean just any kind of up), the whole roll and core pop out of the dispenser and must be replaced before one can carrrrefully extract tape from this thing. And this is not a sometimes kind of thing. This happens every freakin time I use the dispenser. Because I'm stubborn and refused to take it back to the store, I just taped (irony!) some pieces of cardboard over the grooves where the dispenser sits so that it can no longer come out. Of course, I have to destroy this every time the tape runs out, but otherwise the dispenser would be almost unusable.
The other issue that I have is that I don't think it's heavy enough, but that is from a preference standpoint, I think, and less of a universal issue. Sadly, though, instead of using one hand to grab tape, pull up, and dispense as needed, one must use two hands for the dispenser, pull at a zero degree angle, and dispense as needed. That pretty much rules out gift wrapping, poster hanging, or any other one-hand-is-holding-this-thing-together activities. It's a shame, because this thing is really extremely adorable and looks great, enough to get it two stars even! But I'm really disappointed with it, and until they redesign it, I wouldn't recommend buying it.

It was finally time to buy a decent tape dispenser and stop relying on disposable tape rolls, so I bought this one in green. It is cute and small, and its weight made me think it would be a good quality. Unfortunately, the design is terrible. No matter how hard I try to pull the tape out as close to the blade as I can, the roll still pops out most of the time. If you're holding wrapping paper down and trying to tape, you have to let it go, reload the tape dispenser, then try again. Hugely annoying. This is what I get for buying something without reading the Amazon reviews first! ;-)
