I find that the Writghtline seals work the best
if the tapes were
not and are not hung with them. Eventually the white material will
fail, or the black lock will break, but they are by far the longest
lasting other than just a clear box container.
Every couple of years for awhile now I'll be surprised in hearing a
snap, clunk and strange scuffling sound in the house.
It's one of those tape collar-seals breaking spontaneously, at which
point the hung reel falls to the floor and takes off across the room,
generally unwinding the tape as it goes.
