I use this tape to label gear cases so I know their content and owner without having to see what's inside. It's comes in handy when you have a truck full of black flightcases or several guitar cases that are exactly the same. My bandmate and I accidentally switched guitars on our way home from a gig because we had the same case, so we decided to label everything from now on. I also use it to mark things on stage that are hard to see in the dark, because the tape has a very bright, almost glow-in-the-dark color. It tears easily and evenly (it has a kind of a woven fabric, which makes it tear parallel and/or purpendicular to the edge), is taken off easily and leaves absolutely no residue. The surface is great to write on and the ink doesn't smudge or erase. Exactly what I needed.
