Questions and answers

Is this tape strong enough for heavy boxes?
Yes. It is Scotch's heavy duty line, meant for sealing loaded shipping cartons rather than light gift wrap. Apply a full strip across the seam and press it down.
How much tape is on the roll?
54.6 yards at 1.88 inches wide. That is roughly 18 strips across a typical 12-inch box seam per yard, so a roll covers a lot of cartons.
Does it come with a dispenser?
Yes, a handheld dispenser is included and fits tape up to 2 inches wide. The dispenser body contains 80% recycled content.
Will it work in a cold garage or truck?
Hot-melt tape grips best at room temperature. In cold conditions the adhesive gets less tacky, so warm the roll and press the tape down firmly.
Is the tape clear?
Yes, the film is clear, so box printing and shipping labels stay readable under it.
When is it cheapest?
The best new price seen is $11.49 at CVS Pharmacy as of November 5, 2026. Back-to-school and holiday shipping seasons are when multipacks and single rolls tend to be discounted.
Where is the Scotch Heavy Duty Packaging Tape cheapest?
At CVS Pharmacy, for $11.49, 47% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.
