I go through alot of tape..

Just wondering where you get yours from?

I have used the cheap crap. Which keeps on taring. And you need to used more than one strip to deal a box. And good quality expensive stuff.

So I am looking for good value tape. I normally use clear.

    I tend to find brown tape is a bit better. I've wondered if it was just my imagination and they're both the same but it does always seem to be a bit better.
    I use the cheap end stuff, not the totally bobbins ones. I've used more expensive stuff and didn't see the difference or value to it. A few wholesalers I use sell it with no big mark up so I tend to buy some when I go in, saves me having stocks of it taking up space.

    3M clear tape 48mm x 66m is about £1 a roll on ebay if you buy 12 or so.

    Seems like a lot. Unless you're buying bulk I can't see it being worthwhile to buy online. For 12 rolls, the seller is paying 20p
    +/roll postage.

    I can get a pallet of parcel tape for 28p per roll +VAT. How much do you want?

    Put it this way, there's enough there to go about 133 miles with your tape which is from London to Wolverhampton. :D

    My order with them also came through as branded tape even though I ordered basic polypropelene tape 66M.
    I know they don't always do that however, I was extra lucky.
