Which month and day was tape invented?

ADHESIVE TAPERichard G. Drew (1899-1980) invented masking tape and clear adhesive tape (also called cellophane tape or Scotch tape). Drew was an engineer for the 3M company (the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing). Drew's first tape invention was a masking tape made for painters in 1923 (this tape was designed to help painters paint a straight border between two colors). This early masking tape was a wide paper tape with adhesive on only the edges of the tape - not in the middle. Drew made an improved tape called Scotch (TM) Brand Cellulose Tape in 1930. This tape was a clear, all-purpose adhesive tape that was soon adopted worldwide. The first tape dispenser with a built-in cutting edge was invented in 1932 by John A. Borden, another 3M employee

Can I use masking tape to seal my moving boxes?

I wouldn't use masking tape for moving purposes. Masking tape is usually used for painting, to tape off walls. It's easily removable as to not harm the paint, so it's not ideal for packing boxes. You can use masking tape for your move, but it's not the best solution. You should go down to your local post office. They should have some packing tape for sale. But if masking tape is all you have, it should work out OK.
