It seems that I just can't do without having a "whole bunch" of these inexpensive rubber bands around. And it looks like I use them to help "tie together" a whole lot of things - paperwork some "goodies" sometimes even some packages of cereal sometimes packages of partially used/packaged food items that I don't want to separate. I use them for keeping together letters dealing with a certain project.
What can I say. It's rubber bands. There great for what I need them for. Of course shooting them around the room. No I'm just kidding. I needed them for several projects and there very durable and last along time. I used these rubber bands for along time and purchase at least 3 to 4 bags a year. They withstand the test of time and as long as you don't expose them to constant UV light they'll last along time.
Rubber bands don't get any better than Staples rubber bands. I highly recommend them. I'm sure they are better and less expensive than anywhere else but I am not a rubber band expert close but not an expert.
These rubber bands worked just fine no problems. The only difference from the name brand is they come in a bag not a box and are not as wide but it's possible that Staples offers wider bands and I just didn't notice.
