Dear [Customer Name],

Thank you for reaching out to us and sharing your feedback regarding your recent order. I’m sorry to hear that you’re disappointed with the packaging tape. We strive to provide high-quality products and excellent customer service, so it’s disheartening to hear that we’ve fallen short in your case.

Understanding Your Issue

To help us better understand and resolve the problem, could you please provide more details about the issue? Specifically:

  1. Application of the Tape: Our packaging tape is water-activated, which means it requires moisture to form a strong bond. Did you apply water to the adhesive side before attempting to use it?
  2. Storage Conditions: How was the tape stored before use? Extreme temperatures or humidity can sometimes affect the tape’s sticking properties.
  3. Surface Preparation: What type of surface were you trying to adhere the tape to? Some surfaces may require cleaning or priming to ensure better adhesion.

Possible Solutions

While we investigate the issue further, here are a few tips that might help improve the stickiness of the tape:

  1. Ensure Proper Moisture Application: Use a sponge or a water-activated tape dispenser to evenly moisten the adhesive side of the tape.
  2. Clean the Surface: Make sure the surface is clean and dry before applying the tape to ensure better adherence.
  3. Storage: Store the tape in a cool, dry place to maintain its adhesive properties.
