I have previously purchased bags of these rubber bands (both #32 and #33). The label on the package indicates wgt (1 lb) but doesn't give the approximate# of rubber bands in the package. Unfortunately my local Staples stores always seem to have very few bags on the shelf of #32 and #33 and the bags they have are often already torn open.
These rubber bands are sturdy and are used at a food cupboard to help us keep the egg cartons together after they are cut apart so that we can supply a half dozen eggs to our clients. They are a good price and that is what we have to look for since we do not have many extra dollars to buy anything except the food that is needed each week to feed those less fortunate than us.
The package size is good for large projects but the labeling was poor. I had a craft project for a Summer Day Camp so I needed to know how many were in the package which the label does not tell you. I don't care that the company has named them a certain size but I wanted to know the size measurements and quantity. The label did have the size measurements and the weight. I understand caring about the weight for shipping but when you need 500 to do your project who cares if you get a pound or ten pounds.
I bought these rubber bands to band things together! They work great toward that purpose and hold the items in a tight band with no problem. They have great elasticity without breaking and also work great for rubber band wars. The best way to shoot a rubber band is with one hand mostly because it allows for stealth attacks where you can pre-load your hand with the rubber band put it behind your back and let it rip when it is least expected. Rubber band wars can be oh so fun but always be certain to wear protective eye wear anytime you are engaging in any such activity.
