Like these much better than clips which are hard to get open for large stacks of paper and which sometimes tear the paper. Always keep some in my office.
I sell framed pictures at a farmer's market and have been using dog pee pads to wrap them. I had used tape in the past but the tape was ruining the back of the frames and I had to keep replacing the tape. I now use the rubber bands to wrap them. I use two bands for large frames and one for the small ones. In the past the glass in the frames broke so offen I was losing money on them. I belong to a camera club and I am going to recommend to the other members that they buy these rubber bands for their own pictures.
These are the best rubber bands for organizing large stacks of files and help to keep them easy to find by color coding each bundle. They are also very strong and last a long time. Thank you Staples for stocking these hard to find rubber bands. I'm planning to buy several packages next time I shop because I have found them to also be helpful with many of my craft projects as well. Another use is to band together magazines as I like to keep them for a couple of years especially my craft or recipe magazines. They help to keep them stacked neatly and accessible on shelves.
