This is a sturdy rubber band that is perfect for large binders and thick red wells. I don't need these types of bands all the time but when I do I'm glad I have these.
I love these oversize rubber bands for the purpose of holding file folders closed when I have them stuffed with "fall-out" materials. I use one for bank stqtements income tax documents medical records. I can get more useage out of one file folder. I also use them for my library books at home as far as organization. I put a rubber band around books of the same category. On one shelf I used several rubber bands to hold craft books together or cookbooks. I placed one around all my origami books all my Civil War paperbacks and all my holiday books like Easter Christmas etc. They keep my bookshelves neat and orderly and organized.
When getting ready to turn in our "Operation Christmas Child" shoe boxes...they tell you to place rubber bands around them. ...Finding rubber bands that will stretch to fit a plastic shoe box (overfilled as most are) and not break following a day or so of being ''stretched'' can be difficult. These ARE the answer. We ran across them and the price was reasonable so they were purchased for this particular 'job'. They are doing a great job after a couple of weeks of being stretched a lot! The bright colors is a plus!
These oversize rubber bands are great to bundle files. I've used them for years. Very strong and rarely break. Keeps things organized even when you stack them.
