To keep from losing the end of postage tape, place a paper clip on the sticky side of the tape just below where you are making the cut. Store the tape with the paper clip, and you are ready to go next time you need to use the tape. The paper clip is easy to pull off and thick enough to keep from losing the end of the tape.

The paper clip is the first thing I got my hands on when this idea popped into my head. A popsicle stick works even better. You just need something to hold that tape up so when you make the cut, the tape won't fall back down and stick.
In the past I have held it with my finger, then folded a corner on the end but my problem was sometimes I would lose the end before I could make the fold.

Put a paper clip at the start of the tape. When you need some, take your length and then put the paper clip in place before tearing it off! Now you'll always know where the end is!
Finding the end of a roll of tape sometimes would consume too much of your time. I have tried folding the end so that it won't stick back as you roll it, but still forget to do that after using the tape.
