Thanks. Perhaps if we made this a poll we'de get a percentage answer? I have seen claims both ways. Logo common, or Logo they have never seen?FWIW, my roll of Henkel "Duck" tape has no printed logo (on the tape), and does say "Suitable For Use At No More Than 200F (93C)" on the cardboard roll.
How about common in Central Florida? When we have a hurricane coming, supplies like plywood, batteries, bottled water, and for some reason duct tape are rushed to this state. Wonder if Henkel could provide us with sales statistics for the state of Florida?Thanks. Perhaps if we made this a poll we'de get a percentage answer? I have seen claims both ways.

In this case I think eye wittness report would be better than company statistics.How about common in Central Florida?

It sort of looks like they need to be local eyewitness reports, since we've had at least one local who said they don't know from duct tape and grabbed what was on the pre-storm display, ending up with the Henkel logo.In this case I think eye wittness report would be better than company statistics.
All we need to know is how common (or not) Henkel logo on tape is on shop shelves.

I can post pics now! Not sure I did this right, but as I said in another post...if WE have Henkel duct tape, it must be VERY common LOL We live 30 minutes from the Anthony's...who knows...we may even shop at the same Home Depot. IMO, There is no way anyone is tearing this tape with their bare hands or teeth. Need scissors or a knife...it's really tough.
Henkel/Manco may convert their duct tape (cut it down from large manufactured rolls-think of a huge roll of tape 5 or 6 feet wide and thousands of meters long being cut into the 48mm/2" x 55m rolls you purchase) but I'm pretty certain they do not have a duct tape manufacturing line unless they installed it very recently. Lots of converters and distributors say they make tape but they purchase from others, convert, package, and distribute.Henkel does manufacture their own tape -- I live right near the Henkel Manco division in Avon, Ohio that made this tape, I know one of the managers, and they just relocated to Westlake, Ohio.
(snip)I think perhaps we have gone off on a bit of a tangent with tape/logos.
I think you gave up too easy.Not in this case.
Ask, and still no idea. Would have been just a nice piece of info to have if the ask-recieve was working.
As 007 put it so succinctly:ther_beatingA_Dead
t a n s t a a f lok you are named after the utimate answer. What is the answer?
Question:
In the general orlando area, is duct tape in common domestic use usually marked with a "henkel" logo. Roughly what percentage of rolls of duct tape on sale is of the 'logo" type.
We'll see. I wonder if it will be held together with duct tape?The US is just entering a golden age where rules such as "tanstaafl" are on hold!

Apologies for going off topic like this, but have you noticed that the message editor won't allow a post to be only an uppercase acronym (or at least one it doesn't recognize)? It converts to lowercase when you submit it.i think you will find increasing use of oppfyn paradigm
(not to be confused with douglas adams's oppcd)
Please, no. You're not. I'm seriously interested in your answer.Well, this was the answer I was going to attempt to get but I will cease and desist if my contributions are viewed as tangential or off-topic.
Yeah. Me too. What's that about?Sorry again Gorba we horse around, but can get serious again when duty calls.
Fortytwo I noticed it with your post for first time.
Good thinking, Herc. Not being shouters, we'd have no way to encounter the issue except for a rare leading acronym.it would be nice to think it was a device to stop excessive shouting?
I WAS RIGHT

ThanksRemember somewhere back in this thread someone posted a link to an FBI study in which they went out and purchased 82 rolls of duct tape at random and out of those only 1 had the Henkel logo on the surface. That equals between 1% and 2%. IMO FairnBalanced did end up with Henkel when a sh*tload of tape was diverted here a couple years ago for the hurricanes. I live on the south side of Orlando, the A's live on the east side. I went through my share of duct tape, plywood and blue tarp during hurricanes Charlie and Frances, but no logo. I've used hundreds of rolls of the stuff in the last 30 years here in O-town, no logo. Last weekend I checked all the rolls at Walmart, Lowes, Home Depot, Ace Hardware, and BigLots, no logo. Granted they were stores on the south side.
Like I said before. The logo's not the nail in the coffin but it should help sway the jury a little.
Since I'm sitting here with a roll of tape with the logo on it, and a sh*tload was sold during the period of time we had those hurricanes come through here...what does it prove if the rolls on the shelves now don't have the logo? There's no doubt that there are thousands of rolls of this tape in homes in this area so there has to be a bunch of it around. I know I would probably feel it wasn't common...IF....I didn't have a roll of it myself. Was a big surprise to me too, that I had it. Really made me sit up and take notice...so I think a jury could be convinced that having that brand of tape available to the accused doesn't mean thousands of others don't have it in their homes as well. There's going to have to be more evidence to match the tape from the crime scene to the Anthony home.Remember somewhere back in this thread someone posted a link to an FBI study in which they went out and purchased 82 rolls of duct tape at random and out of those only 1 had the Henkel logo on the surface.

We are interested in logo on the actual tape of course! Not the inside of the roll. That is what we have been discussing.
Could you perhaps unroll a piece and photograph that. That would be of some use
