i have been using rubber band number 117 for over 20years. this size u=is perfect for putting around file folders as it keeps them from spilling out everything and then everything is out of order regarding filing by date forward.they are also very good at keeping certain folders together. try them and you will start using them in the future. sometimes the rubber bands are cut by the edge of the folder but you get a lot of use out of each rubber band prior to it breaking you can always tie a knot in the one that breaks until you get back to the office to get a new one.
Love these rubber bands. I use them instead of the smaller rubber bands. These do not cause your papers or manuals to roll up. Perfect for an 8 1/2 x 11 stack of papers or books.
best price great quality. we use these for all our community notifications. the size is perfect very rarely do any pop. they are long enough but short enough too.
These rubber bands are great. Perfect for the end of the year monthly reconciles that we put into storage boxes. Keeps everything together and does not break as easy as the smaller ones.
Every year around this time I volunteer with Operation Christmas Child to fill shoe box size containers (also bought at Staples). They go to extremely needy children all over the world. In some cases they can't go to school unless they have school supllies - notebooks pens pencils markers crayons (again purchased at Staples) soap washcloths toothbrush/paste lil toys stuffed animals etc. I have to put a RUBBERBAND around the container. In the past I picked up some here and there but they would break weren't the right size - THESE ARE PERFECT AND THEY LAST....so I can easily use the rest of the bag in years to come.
