they're rubber bands

They're called 'economy' rubber bands. I didn't see any that were 'deluxe'. These are fine. They're rubber and they stretch. They work so far. I don't know what more I could expect.

Rubber Band Review for Staples
on December 17, 2014
Posted by: Paula K.
These rubber bands worked great and were a good value. "A rubber band also known as a binder elastic band lackey band laggy band or elastic is a short length of rubber and latex elastic in nature and formed in the shape of a circle which is commonly used to hold multiple objects together. The rubber band was patented in England on March 17 1845 by Stephen Perry.[1][2][3][4] Mesoamericans (such as Aztecs and Mayans) were using natural rubber products by 1600 B.C.; they mixed latex with other materials to get desired properties. In 1839 Charles Goodyear developed vulcanization which is used to make rubber today.[5] Most rubber bands are manufactured out of natural rubber. Rubber bands come in a variety of sizes."

Staples Rubber Bands
on December 12, 2014
Posted by: Paula K.
I purchased the Staples Economy Rubber Bands Size #64 to use to secure the lids of shoeboxes both cardboard and plastic These shoeboxes were for Samaritan's Purse Operating Christmas Child. Two rubber bands were required for each shoebox. This size and width were perfect to fit securely around the boxes. The rubber bands had to be taken on and off ocassionally and never once did I have a rubber band that broke. Rubber bands we have used in the past often broken causing inconvenience and extra cost just to replace them. I'll use these Staples bands next time!

Snappy buy

Convenience stores usually sell a pack with a mix that is predominantly #18 (too puny for most purposes) with only a smattering of useful thicker rubber bands. Not to stretch a point but I use the #64 all the time to organize things as it is thick and strong enough to be really useful. Staples sells 1 lb bags of #64 but that would last a lifetime for a household. The 1/4 lb contains plenty and is just right.
