These were the Staples brand of rubber bands. They looked just as good as the "other" brand that were several dollars more. These rubber bands will due nicely for keeping things together for a long time. There were more than I needed but heck the price was right. They came in a zip lock bag that is always a handy feature. The bands won't go flying around in the drawer and get caught going somewhere they shouldn't be. Even the cat cannot get to them. I will buy the Staples brand again when it comes time to buy again. Or better yet buy another size should the need arise. We like Staples for all the variety of goods they have.
Thanks for the opportunity to review the rubber bands. I understand these much better than I do computers. I can report that they do work and they perform as expected. They stretch they hold things together and they can be shot across the room. Very easy to use.
Main complaints are about the shopping experience: there is nothing to show the actual size and thickness of the rubber bands in the various packs and you cannot see the bands inside the packs; only a few of the packs were in stock. The actual bands are thinner and a bit flimsier than I had hoped/expected.
