The tape is pretty thick and needs to be cut. If you try to tear, all you do is just stretch it a little.

I couldn't tear this tape with my hands. It is stick and sturdy. I use this tape for all of my shipping needs (from reenforcing envelopes to protecting shipping labels to closing boxes) and it feels secure---both structurally (thickness of tape) as well as adhesive-wise (the adhesive solidly adheres). I use the tape with a tape-gun, which cuts it beautifully, no problems. I would have to use scissors otherwise.

I am using it for packing moving boxes closed. Can not tear withy hands. It is great tape. Great value

This tape cannot be torn by hand you either need to use a dispenser or have a knife because it is a tough tape. I ship every day as part of my job and it is a shipping tape quality. I would guess the mil thickness between 4 and 6 mils. Hope this is helpful.

I could not tear it with my hands. This tape is definitely not thin. I didn't use a tape dispenser with it so I cannot tell you how easy it was to use in that way. Very sticky tape. I had ordered another brand prior to this tape and it was falling off the cardboard boxes. I didn't have that problem with this tape.

This tape isn't thin or flimsy, it is very good quality shipping/packaging tape.

I was pleased (and surprised) with how thick the tape is. I can't tear it with my fingers, and it's pretty heavy duty. I plan on ordering it again once my supply runs out.

It does state that it's 11 ml thick. Kinda hard to tell if that's right but this tape works great for me.

Description says "10 Mil Thick". What is a Mil? Millimeter? 10 mm is about 0.4 inch. Dave Street measured it and said they are 2.8 mm thick. A. Miller said they bend. If they do, they must be less than 2.8 mm. America, you need to forget those medieval inches already!

The box does not state the thickness. However, it does say "extra strong - double seams." They are not flimsy. They are a good strong bag - really good quality. I can't stand any other kind since I started using these. I've never had one split or tear. They are worth the price. I hope that helps. Sorry I couldn't give the exact mil thickness.

The tape is pretty thick. Although it's clear, I don't think I would use it to re-adhere pages. (But that's just an opinion; others might disagree.)

We used this tape to bind homemade book covers. Masking tape is too thin to be sturdy. Vinyl tape seemed too slick and the adhesive seemed too gooey. Duct tape was too slick and gooey also, plus it breaks down with time. This tape blended well with the covers and gave crisp clean lines. We actually cut the tape in 1/2 inch wide strips the length of what we needed. We would have preferred a 1/2 inch wide roll for our projects, but could not find any. If you are needing tape for temporary projects, the other tapes will work, but if you want a professional long lasting tape, this is good stuff. We used this tape to bind homemade book covers.

Mine is on a small dispenser and you tear it against the metal saw toothed edge. It is wonderful tape for shipping packages! You won't be sorry!

This Sharpie is more like a .05 Sharpie. You can use less pressure to get a thinner line. My .01 Micron is not as thick as this Fine point Sharpie. The tip is not as big as a .05 Micron but more than a .01 Sharpie. I think you'd like it.

It is not too terribly hard to tear it, though it isn't a smooth tear. I use it on my wrist, and wrap it a couple times, then pull, and it breaks. I would like to tell you how many foot lbs of torque it takes to tear this tape, but I've been working out so much, my internal calibration is all off. :)

Yes, this only is very thick. My first bottle was poorly wrapped, the oil was all over my items and the bottle was plastic. My second bottle was perfectly wrapped, and the bottle was glass. Third bottle was perfectly wrapped, but in a plastic container again. Hope that helps.

It is about 1/16". It is NOT paper thin. This tape is very strong and works very well.

I'm not sure what you mean...it comes with a roll of tape. I really like the product!

On my package it says .0014", which is .0014 inches. I don't know if this thickness is talking about the thickness of the copper layer. .0014 is 14 ten thousanths of an inch. That copper thickness would be too thin to etch. But, the thickness of PC boards are a standard universal thickness. A mil is a thousandth of an inch. A thousanth means that one moves the decimal point three places. So, if one has 0.062 inches and want to find out what it is in mils, move the decimal point three places to the right. And the answer would be 62 mils. 0.62 is 62 hundreths of an inch, which is 620 mils. I hope I have answered your question. On my package it says .0014", which is .0014 inches.

I think it's referring to the liner side of the extension, not the tape. The tape is double sided so I think it has to be about the extension.

I change my mind all the time - so I've taken the label off and put on different contains. For instance - I had a really small storage container of tape that was labeled and then went to Costco and bought more than would fit in that container. I just took the label off the small one and put it on the medium one! I think the trick is that it has to be plastic or glass (non-porous like it says). I doubt you can do this a lot of times - but I've definitely done it a few times and it sticks great!

Mil thickness is only one part of the storage protection equation. A more significant part is the blend of the plastic and the way the bag is constructed. You can find cheap, thick bags out there. The cheaper bags lack the construction of Ziploc leaving more opportunity to let in air and moisture. As for Ziploc the mil thickness of Freezer is about 30% greater than storage which is about 30% greater than Sandwich.

Hello and thank you for your question. Hello, 3M Scotchgard film is 8mil (mil not mm) thick. It is technically 6mil with 2mil adhesive for a total of 8mil. Please let us know if you have any further questions. Thank you!
