What about the automatic boxing machine? And the "human" that would have to come from kilometers away. And who would just "happen to have this special fiberglass tape." And the "whole organized crime ring" that would have to be involved in order to....

have simply inspected and rebagged an order that may have suffered machine damage.

Actually it's quite likely that it was taped by machine by looks of it. Try measuring if length of those tapes do match.

^Also, so freshly after the sticker was applied, it is possible that it came off cleanly, and they didn't even have to reprint a new label or use a new bag. A human just clean removed the sticker and put a new one on, in the usual manner.

For gods sake please stop hurting my brain. My Mouser doesn't tape boxes this way. They use brown tape all along the seam. This box was custom taped, by hand, after the box was damaged.

Even if the lengths of tape are exactly the same, it means they are cut by machine, my dear Watson.

I guess we'll need to wait until you order another full tube of IC's.

If it's simple tape dispenser, length won't match. Nobody will bandaid the box with full blown packing machine.

I have ordered thousands. I already know and have already shared that with you.

There is principle called Occam's razor.

You have 3 things which are unusual:
1. The IC tube was bagged in a way that is possible but highly out of the norm.
2. Mouser just happened to change the way they tape boxes for the first time in over a decade.
3. The box and contents just happened to be damaged, which in itself is very rare.

There is 1 thing which can explain them all: box suffered damage, then there was human intervention

This is the most likely solution, rather than the 3 things being a coincidence.
