I use these in a appt. book to hold the day in place. When wrapped around the book and current week works very nice to open book to the page you need. Useful for around waste baskets so the liner does not slip out. Very nice highly recommend.
Large rubber bands are a must sometimes and these are sturdy and large. But even better they come in different colors. I love the purple ones the most but the rest are fun as well.
I use these bands when carrying several paper file folders in a briefcase either to provide support for a large folder or to group similar folders together.
I'm unable to imagine what Staples wants me to say about these rubber bands. Does anyone not know what rubber bands are and what you use them for? They do their job well though they seem a little expensive (23 cents per band plus tax) even for very large (6 inches long when unstretched) rubber bands. Also the package is not designed to let you take out one or two when that's all you need; you have to peel the hourglass-shaped plastic blister almost all the way off the cardboard pull out the whole cluster of rubber bands take what you need and then try to shove the remainder back into the blister. Not very user friendly at all. But hey Staples asked me to write a review so that's my review.
