Product Information
Full details
These high-quality size 69 rubber bands are an essential tool for office managers, students, and home organizers who need a reliable, reusable way to secure items. While they offer excellent elasticity and durability for everyday fastening tasks, they are best suited for indoor use as natural rubber can degrade if exposed to prolonged direct sunlight or extreme temperature fluctuations.

Troubleshooting
Bands appear brittle or snap easily
This is likely due to heat or light exposure; store your replacement bands in a cool, dry, and dark container to preserve elasticity.
Bands feel sticky out of the package
Natural rubber can sometimes develop a surface residue; lightly dust them with a tiny amount of cornstarch if they stick to each other.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your rubber bands, store the pack in a cool, dark environment. Avoid keeping them near heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as UV radiation and heat will accelerate the natural degradation of the rubber compounds. When using, stretch the bands only to the required size to maintain their original shape and tension over time. If they appear dusty from storage, they can be wiped clean with a slightly damp cloth, though it is best to allow them to air dry completely before use.
