Staples is my first choice for office products but I was looking for big strong rubber bands to use in my garden. Once a clump of daffodils has finished blooming the leaves fall over and look unsightly and block the sun on the surrounding soil. These rubber bands are ideal for bundling up the leaves of a clump of daffodils so that it stands more or less erect until the leaves die back.
These #32 rubber bands work just fine I've been buying them for many years. I wish they came in a slightly longer length such as a half inch longer. That would work a little bit better for how I use them which is around bundles of paperwork. I like the re-sealable bag which keeps them from getting dry and brittle over time. The one quarter pound size is good because any larger and I would use them up too slowly and then they might actually get dried out before I could use the entire bag.
