I use this product for bundling my projects my mail and I have many other uses for the product. Such as securing my "so called security wallet" which is supposed to prevent people from obtaining my credit card information. The reason I use this product on my wallet is because the wallet which is metal keeps opening up and everything inside tends to fall out and being hard of hearing I don't know when that happens. Other uses for this product include keeping things rolled up like blueprints art work and stuff like that.
Common old used rubber bands acquired from the post office are often tired and dirty; unpleasant to use. They will leave stains on your envelopes and break at the most inoportune times; leaving you to play 52 (or however many items you were trying to corral) pick up. Then too second hand rubber bands come in substandard sizes colors and stretch limits. Some are skinny pieces of cheap plastic instead of honest rubber contruction. Staples bag of rubber bands are a uniform color size and strength. These are just the very best rubber bands I have found! I advise everyone to try them.
I was shopping for miscellaneous office supplies while I was picking up some HP inkjet cartridges and Staples copy paper. I was looking for some binder clips when I saw the display next to them that had various rubber band sizes. I like this size for a number of reasons. They are great for putting letters from the same senders into one package. Also very handy for packing Christmas Presents into one box. But the reason I use them the most is for photography. I make my own flash attachments and these are the perfect size to hold them on the flash.
If you are looking for a great rubber band to launch over a cubicle wall then look no further than this product from Staples. The size and gauge of the rubber band is perfect for office warfare. From either a sitting or stnading launching position these rubber bands easily project over two or three rows of cubicles. And because of the rubber's strength and consistency with just a little bit of practice - about five tries - you can quickly dial in your trajectories and readily engage your colleague two cubicles away that always talks too loudly on the telephone while ordering Chinese take-out. Great choice! And economical as well. The right size the right quantity and the right price for your next office offensive.
