Alliance Rubber 07800 Non-Latex Brites File Bands, Colored Elastic Bands, 50 Count (Pack of 1) (7" x 1/8", Assorted Bright Colors in Resealable Bag),Blue/Orange/Pink

I worked in an outdated company, where my sole job was to digitize years and years and YEARS worth of paper documents and bring the company into the Now Times™️. These rubber bands were perfect for binding stack after stack of ancient scrolls and tomes together as they awaited their inevitable end (via shredder). Due to COVID, I began working from home. My office moved to my comfy house desk, and my coworkers became..... well, cats. And if cats love anything, it's playing with trash not meant for them! Thus, my giant rubber bands became giant cat toys. I would slingshot these bad boys down the hall, and my coworkers would LOSE IT. Rubber bands quickly became Marshall's go-to toy! He'd carry them around, sleep with them, hide them for later. It was all good fun! But... I felt the need to hire a new employee. Eugene came fully vetted and his previous employers sang his praises! I thought it was a perfect match. However, they failed to mention his one flaw. Eugene likes to eat everything. EVERYTHING. If it will fit in his throat, he's going to swallow it. Even metal! In the days since this fateful incident, I've caught him with knives, wrenches, scissors, and screws in his mouth. Just walking around with KNIVES. An HR nightmare. Unfortunately, not armed with this knowledge, I let him go about his business unsupervised. I caught him chewing on one of Marshall's precious rubber bands... Oh no! Never experiencing a cat actually GNAWING on the rubber band, I decided it would be best to take all of them and put them away. But..... do you remember how Marshall liked to stash them??? Marshall uncovered a rubber band, offering it to his new friend. Eugene then chewed the band until it was one long SEVEN INCH STRAND. Then, I imagine, he ate it Lady and the Tramp style. Except instead of a cute little kiss, he was greeted with tummy aches and surgery. All of this happening within his first week of employment!!! The vets pulled out the entire 7 inch strand, fully intact, as though it wasn't just sitting in stomach acid for who knows how long. Amazing! The color was still a vibrant blue. Astounding! Although these rubber bands are the best rubber bands I've ever owned, I sadly had to cut them up, throw them into a trash bag, throw the trash bag into the dumpster, and stand watch until the garbage truck hauled them away. I can no longer use hair ties - only thick fluffy scrunchies. My life has changed since Eugene came into my life, not necessarily always for the better, but his cute little face makes up for the fact that I can no longer keep my papers bound together.

I was grateful for these particular rubber bands. I have a severe allergy to latex, so these were great for situation. I used them to make popping boxes. They worked great. They are not heavy duty rubber bands. They are craft rubber bands. Price was good. Some of the rubber bands were broken. But for crafts, they were good.

Love the different colors, sizes and thicknesses great for what I need and leave me with plenty of them. They are latex free as well. Will definitely buy more if needed.

Nice bright colors. I use these rubber bands for family members to identify their drinking glasses/tumblers throughout the day. Especially handy when we have a big group over. The only "down" side to this particular pack is that some of the bands are super skinny. I have to say, none have broken, but I'd prefer that some of the skinniest bands were a bit thicker. I haven't used the bands much for typical rubber band purposes, that is to hold papers/items together, but those times I did, they worked well. I'd buy this item again due to the bright colors and overall quality. Here is a run down of thick vs thin band colors: Thicker bands are: dark purple & green (both about 1/8") , pink (only a few in the pack, these are the thickest at 1/4"), orange and yellow(about 1/16"), light blue (thinner than 1/16"). The light blue bands don't stretch much, could be used to hold plastic wrap around a small tumbler/container. If you need bright bands to hold smaller items together, this is a great pack. If you are looking for heavier duty bands to hold larger stacks of paper items, these probably are going to be too small for you.

Love these great quality, versatile rubber bands. Use them to band blankets, towels, books, boxes etc.

Great for binding large amounts together. Very stretchy. great value

I play rubber band fetch with my Dutch shepherd…just tie a little loop on one end, makes them very easy to shoot. Once you teach them not to chew up the rubber band, and if you have a dog who enjoys this play safely (doesn’t swallow, etc.), it’s a lot of fun. These bands are nice and sturdy. I use them for other things as well. I tried a different brand, and boy was that a mistake. There were a lot more bands in the bag, but they were flimsy and broke easily. They also had a yucky “red” color that was very hard to see in the grass. Always true that you get what you pay for. I couldn’t wait to be finished with that bag so I could order these again. So happy to have them back, and will just keep ordering this brand when we need them.

These are my favorite rubber bands. As mundane as rubber bands are, these are not boring at all...They are bright in color and varied in size, just plain fun! Durable enough, I've reused them over and over plenty of time until they eventually wear out but that's not unlike other rubber bands too. It's easy to tell the size based on the color as all of the same colors are the same size. My only wish would be to have more pink (widest) ones in my box, I think there was only 6 while there are tons of blue ones (thinnest). I like putting the wider ones around the slippery cap of my glass water bottles I bought here as well, the rubber band helps give the cap some grip so it's easier to open and close. I used to get this brand at the stores but none of them seem to carry the product anymore, good thing amazon has them! Arrived undamaged and fast.

Adorei as cores e tb a qualidade!!!

Great colourful bands, all same size (long & thick). Nice & strong

Great rubber bands! Love the colours compared to the dull ones available in most stores. These are a large size and I've never had one break on me. Very handy to have on hand around the house.

We needed these for the office, mainly for placing around a file of papers. We’ve been searching for ages for this exact type. Great colours and good quality.

These are good rubber bands. They keep files together nicely. Bands are very durable and stretchy, not dry. Different sizes. All you need!
