We use these for binding rolled drawings from 5 to 20+ pages. I ordered a 1lb bag about a year or so ago and they've held up well without drying out. That's a big plus since we store old drawings for years sometimes. I've also ordered the 3 1/2"X1 1/4" bands and they've held up just as well.
Very satisfied I’ve been buy this size of rubber band for the last 31 years occasionally I run into a problem find them but usually I can count on Staples I always find them there. Thank God.
We use these rubber bands to band money. They are the right size to band the bills in $100s and $1000s and not twist or turn the bills. Have tried other sizes and thickness and these are best.
