FAQs

How many bands are in a 454g bag?

Each bag contains approximately 665 bands.

What is the exact size of these rubber bands?

They are No.33 size, measuring 89mm x 3mm.

Are these bands made from sustainable materials?

Yes, they are manufactured using 80 percent pure rubber sourced from sustainable materials.

Is the packaging resealable?

Yes, the bands are supplied in a resealable grip bag for easy storage.

Can I use these for archiving documents for many years?

Rubber bands will eventually degrade over time. For long-term archiving (multiple years), consider using acid-free paper bands or archive boxes instead.

Are these suitable for people with latex allergies?

These contain natural rubber, so individuals with latex sensitivities should handle them with care or wear gloves.

Troubleshooting

Bands feel sticky or soft.

This is a sign of thermal degradation. Move the storage bag to a cooler, darker location, such as a bottom desk drawer.

Bands are snapping frequently during use.

Check if you are over-stretching the band. If the stack is too thick, use two bands instead of one to reduce tension.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality 80% pure rubber content provides excellent elasticity.
  • Sustainable sourcing supports environmentally conscious purchasing.
  • Generous count of 665 bands per bag offers high value.
  • Resealable bag keeps desk drawers organized and prevents loss.
  • Standard No.33 size is versatile for most common office tasks.

Cons

  • Natural rubber can degrade faster if exposed to extreme heat or direct sunlight.
  • Not recommended for long-term storage of sensitive documents due to potential rubber breakdown over years.
  • May not be suitable for people with latex allergies.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your rubber bands last as long as possible, store them in their original grip bag within a drawer or cupboard away from direct light. Do not leave the bands exposed on top of a desk for extended periods, as UV light and heat can cause the natural rubber to become brittle or sticky over time. When using, stretch the band gently to its required length; avoid over-stretching beyond its maximum limit, as this will lead to premature snapping. If you are using these for professional filing, ensure there are no sharp metal paperclips in contact with the rubber, as edges can create small tears that cause the band to break under tension.
