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.
This is a good buy compared to other retailers and the product holds up real well. I use in the office every day and we need a good product that doesn't cost too much. I noticed in the past that the bags were bigger is that because of cost to package or did you cut down on the rubber bands. I like the resealable bags!! Are these offered in a larger bag that what I have been purchasing? I can buy two but the one bag makes it easier. Also i keep files for at least five years and I have noticedthat even in a loft area they still stay strong. Thanks on a good product.
I ship Vintage high value pock watches and use rubber bands to secure the bubble wrap packaging rather than tape to make it easier and safer to unwrap.
I use rubber bands in my business just to hold together small groups of papers documents. These are sufficient and don't seem to break easily when stretched.
