I suppose this isn't "new" but it's the first time I've run across them, so I thought I'd post it. I was at Wal-Mart tonite picking up some crap (soda, a few auto related items, etc) and I found some cool Duck brand duct tape sheets. It's an 8.5" x 11" sheet of Duck brand duct tape, one large piece on a big sheet of wax paper. IIRC the price was $1.88, not a terrible deal. My back-of-the-envelope calculations shows this is almost four feet of tape if you cut it 2" wide like the stuff you find on the rolls. Now looking around online for the wax-paper-backed strips it seems like a four foot chunk that's kind of accordian folded for portable use is usually around $5 or so, so this is a pretty decent price.

My plan is to cut it into strips roughly 2" wide to pack into survival/first aid kits.

Why not reroll it on a card? Well, I do that sometimes but I've noticed that with many brands this degrades the tape, and the re-rolled product often doesn't stick as well as it does new off the roll. The stuff that comes on wax paper backing or an original roll doesn't have this problem. For the record I'll say that some brands are better than others, and Gorilla tape is still very usefully sticky when rerolled. But better not to do it if you can help it. Since I've found that I often only need 6" to 8" when I need tape I think this stuff cut into strips will work well.
