It depends on the length you need; rolls come in different sizes for both width and length! I like the Scotch (TM) brand, which doesn't curl back onto itself while working with the tape, like other brands do. Here are some comparison widths and lengths for Scotch (TM) and OfficeMax (TM) brands, sold as 'Packaging Tape, Multipurpose' or as 'Heavy-Duty Shipping Tape':

Scotch® Heavy-Duty 1 & 7/8" x 22.2 Yd. (equals 66.6 feet)

Office Depot® Brand 1.89" x 43.7 Yds. (equals 131.1 feet)

Office Depot® Brand 1.89" x 54.6 Yd. (equals 163.8 feet)

Scotch® Heavy-Duty Shipping Tape, 1.88" x 54.6 Yd. (equals 163.8 feet)

Office Depot® Brand , 1.89" x 109.4 Yd. (equals 328.2 feet)


* Don't ask me why they don't just standardize the widths and lengths between brands.

Is duct tape packing tape?

No, it is quite different. Packing tape is usually clear strong vinyl tape with fibreglass string embedded in it -you can see the fibres. Duct tape is a close knit cotton fabric with adhesive on one side and poly on the other. Duct tape rips easily, packing tape does not - it needs scissors or a very sharp knife.
