People say duct tape (duck tape) is the best tape and can do anything. I disagree. I think it’s packing tape. The former certainly has its uses, but packing tape is super versatile. I recommend getting some good packing tape. It comes on self dispensing rolls.
You can laminate things. I create tabs for pages in notebooks or binders by folding it over a label you write or print. You can make anything you print a sticker or label. “To” address “From” address on an envelope, just print it, cut it out and stick it. Labels for usb sticks. Cut it to size quickly you can label keys.
I use that shit for so much office stuff. Once you stick it to itself it holds pretty much forever.
I’ve only really seen brown packing tape I’m guessing yours is transparent though? Other than the things that require transparency I do think duct tape beats it most of the time.
I once made an inscryption keychan (perfect to hang the keys on a pocket inside my backpack btw) and i used packing tape, the only problem i had is that it wasn’t wide enough to cover the entire card and so it had an ugly line
The other problem is that with the heat it will seperate on certain materials 💔

Yep, the writeability of packing tape is good.
But gaffer tape is the tape I use every day.

I’m talking about transparent plastic packing tape. If you’ve only seen brown tape then I think we are talking about different things here.

Usually it won’t separate on itself, so leave enough extra margin on the sides, then sandwich it back on top of itself.
I see, thx
