This brilliant non-permanent binding solution is so freaking awesome! I bought these to bind textbooks together...and they do that very well. Granted they are not large enough to bind together Organic Chemistry and it's solution manual. But they are large enough to hold a Sociology text with it reader. An added benefit of this marvelous product is that they can be used as weapons. They can also be a source of busywork. You could spend multiple hours forming a perfect rubber band ball!
Our use of this product was to hold a series of palm cards (for a literature drop) during the November political campaign. Since this is part of a door to door campaign we needed to hold together three palm cards plus a larger card used as a wrapper. Having to distribute more than 2 000 of these packets mostly without human contact these elastic bands gave us the flexibility to hold the packet together whether we slipped it under a door or we stretched the band to wrap it around the door knob the band held up to our delivery twists and turns 100% of the time with absolutely no band breaks in over 2 000 deliveries. Great product.
