ONLY FOUND AT STAPLES. No other store carries these!
My teenage son wears them as 'cool' wristbands (wrapped not too tight) and they came in handy for me in a pinch to hold my side-view mirror on my Explorer when I whacked into the mailbox!
I keep these stocked in my kitchen, too. They hold my overstuffed cookbook closed and secure the owner's manuals for the small appliances. I'd be lost without them - they are ultra-versatile.

I need these rubber bands because of their size but, even without any strain, they break! That's why I keep purchasing new ones. I wish there were alternatives but your product seems to be the only one on the market so large in size. The heck with the fancy colors - make a stronger product!

    Comments about Staples® Big Rubber Bands, 24/Pack:

    Typically you have to buy about a million at a time to get any decent price on a per rubber band piece; while these are comparably higher in price; they are very strong, durable & of high grade.

            • Q:

              Are these rubber bands large enough to wrap around a large stack of paper?

                A:

                These are 7" long when not stretched, so they'd work for paper very well!

                A:

                yes, but becuase they are weak, they break easily. They need to be made from more durable material instead of what they are.

                Answered on 4/12/2011 by K from Orange county, california
              • VERIFIED BUYER

                A:

                I think these items were originally called "file bands" and their intended use was to secure a reasonably sized stack of file folders. For best results you may have to use more than one rubber band. My answer to your question is a tenative yes, but asking about a large stack of papers is like asking "how long is a piece of rope". I would say a 6 inch thick stack of paper would be about maximum.

              I am doing a science project using these rubber bands, and I NEED to know what they are made of. Are they natural rubber or some kind of polymer? I need this info as soon as possible! Thanks.
