I have recently branched out with my crochet hobby, by selling in auctions on Tophatter and Etsy.  One thing I didn't really relish about going public so to speak, was the trips to the post office and having to mail items.  Thank God I have a husband willing to brave the post office for me!



Anyway, one of the fun parts of shipping anything is the packaging.  I guess you might say I am a tape-aholic.  I am that annoying person at Christmas, who gives you a gift doused in tape.  You know the package, the one that makes you wonder if there really is wrapping paper or even a gift under all that tape!




I like for my packages to be securely taped shut.  The post office has a bit stricter policy on the amount of tape I can use, but with the Scotch Tape from 3M, I have always managed to feel at ease when my packages ship.




We recently found the 3M Scotch Sure Start Shipping Tape.   While maintaining all the stickiness of other Scotch Shipping Tapes, this tape doesn't stick to itself like the regular shipping tape.  That alleviates all those lost hours of searching for the end of the tape roll.




I have no fingernails to speak of, yet even I have damaged a nail or 2 trying to start a roll of regular Scotch tape!  Unlike the normal rolls of Scotch Tape, once you find the end of the Sure Start Scotch Tape, it unrolls all the way across!   No more wasted tape because you can't get the whole width to unroll at once!  Less wasted tape means less tape bought.  That is better for your wallet AND the landfills!




Like all rolls of Scotch Tape, the Sure Start is clear so you can tape over things like labels and still have everything readable.  The rolls of Sure Start Scotch Tape fit all of the Scotch brand tape dispensers, to make them even more user friendly. 



At nearly 40 yards to a roll, this tape will even keep me taping for quite awhile!
