I think the 3M tape has better quality although it costs a little more.

Does 3M make colored packing tape? I used to get liftech tape from Hobby-People. It was really nice-wasn't nearly as transparent as what I got from Fast-Pack. It also didn't seem to seperate like the Fast-Pack tape will.

U-line also carries color-coded packing tape, as well as bi-directional and uni-directional strapping tape. I haven't tried it, but wonder if it's as transparent as the Fast-Pack stuff...www.uline.com

Yeah, I recall getting a roll from a JK Aerotech kit once-it's alot deeper in color and less transparent than the other tapes I've gotten.

After using the stuff that Trennfrc sells and fast-pack, I have to say that the fast-pack stuff tears easier. Applying the treneff stuff is easier and I think it's more rugged.
