R. Jennings is where I get mine from. I wish I knew where he got it. Seems pretty reasonable by the roll.

Sam, why not regular pallet tape and water based adhesive? Does the time outweigh the savings?

the two sided tape for auto works much better....and again you only use water to reactivate it...

I used the double sided for a roll a few years ago and promptly went back to the regular stuff and waterbased adhesive. 

Who else prefers the double sided adhesive pallet tape over the regular stuff?

Me. I've never used anything else but double sided adhesive pallet tape and I've never had a need to try anything else. Stuff works great for me.
On some of my pallets, I'm going on a few thousand prints without putting down new tape.

I used to get mine from Ship-Paq.  I am not even sure if they are around anymore.  I had some problems with their box tape and they didn't stand behind it....so I stopped ordering.

Tried it a didn't like it. Went with the waterbased spray package and never looked back.
