We’ve all been there – staring at a roll of packing tape, desperately searching for that invisible end that seems to have merged completely with the roll. Here’s an ingeniously simple solution that’ll save you from endless frustration! Before you finish using your tape, stick a paper clip halfway over the end. When you need the tape next time, just lift the paper clip – instant access to the tape end!
This works amazing with all types of tape, from packing tape to masking tape, even washi tape for crafters. The paper clip acts as a perfect bookmark, and unlike folded corners that often unstick, it’s reliably there when you need it. Keep a few colored paper clips handy in your desk drawer, and you can even color-code different tape rolls. Such a tiny change, but it’ll save you countless minutes of tape-end hunting!
