FAQs
What are the dimensions of these bands?
These bands are 3mm wide and 180mm in length, classified as Size 40.
How many bands are in the 454g pack?
The quantity is determined by weight (454g); as natural rubber varies slightly in density, the exact count may fluctuate, but it provides a substantial bulk supply.
Are these bands latex-free?
No, these are made from natural rubber, which contains natural latex.
Can these be used in a dishwasher or microwave?
No, these rubber bands are not heat-resistant and should not be used in microwaves or dishwashers.
Are they suitable for outdoor use?
They are not recommended for permanent outdoor use as sunlight and weather will cause the rubber to dry out and snap prematurely.
Troubleshooting
Bands feel sticky or leave residue
This is a sign of natural aging or exposure to heat. Dispose of the affected bands and ensure new ones are stored in a cooler, darker environment.
Band snaps during use
Ensure the band is not stretched beyond its intended limit. If the item being bundled is too large, use two bands joined together or select a larger size.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No setup is required; these bands are ready for immediate use. To maintain the elasticity and lifespan of your WX98007 rubber bands, keep them in their original clear packaging when not in use. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, fluorescent lighting, and extreme heat sources like radiators or space heaters, as UV rays and heat will accelerate the natural degradation of the rubber. If you notice the bands becoming tacky or brittle, it is an indicator that they have reached the end of their shelf life.
