Our local Operation Christmas Child team uses these rubber bands to make up bundles of 40-50 half sheets of copy paper to put in the shoeboxes that we send to children around the world. With the quantity we need 11 000 we would like to be able to get rubber bands at a lower price and could even use lighter weight ones if you carried them. On the other hand the quality of these rubber bands is good and we appreciate that they are consistent. It would help if you had the 1 lb. bags in stock more often.
These rubber bands were everything I wanted in a super strong large rubber band. I actually bought them to use as sling shot bands but I've also used them to keep papers together and keep my tools together. These bands are strong and I found that they will work very well for all the purposes I want to use them for. I work in an Apple Orchard and I even use the bands to hold the apple branches in the manner that I need them to. They are fantastic. I suggest to each of you that are interested in these #84 Economy Rubber Bands that you run right down to Staples and buy yourself a bag.
I love these rubber bands. They are idle for any job I have going at any particular time. They are not too small or too big for what I have needed them for.
I primarily use these for cables. All sizes: power cords and power strips networking and A/V cables all the way down to microUSB and iPod charging and data cables. They are strong enough to hold anything I need together and organized. They stretch a decent amount approximately three times the unstretched circumference. For any organizational purposes such as this I highly recommend these bands.
