I really appreciate things that are highly useful in many situations and I really appreciate good value for my money so this particular product can and has seriously brightened my mood more than once. Weird maybe but true. I've never interacted with the seller beyond purchasing boxes of these but, given the opportunity, I'd happily buy them a beer and happily tell them about my appreciation for folks who still manage to offer something good for a great price in this time of cheap junk swamping the market while still charging inflated prices. These are very well done bands and are thick and sturdy. They have great elasticity that holds up well so long as they aren't exposed to sunlight. The orange color is pleasant and helpful to me. Size 64 is an excellent general purpose size being strong enough to securely hold many different things in many situations while still economical, small and flexible enough for light duty tasks. Of course the economy is compounded by the, frankly, stunningly low price that I've seen these regularly offered at. These would still be an excellent value at double the $5/lb price that I've paid several times over the last 18 months to now 11/07/2024.

As an operator of a testing laboratory, we cannot have any latex products as cross contamination with our testing is a concern. These non-latex bands are well made, durable, perform just like latex equivalents, and the bright orange color makes it easy to note the non-latex formula is in use throughout our laboratory environment. We also have one office employee with a latex allergy who appreciates that we provide these for the office staff too.

Who would ever write a review about the common rubber band? An office supply geek? A postal worker who is sick of seeing them? Someone with too little to occupy their lives? I don't know but in my case, it's because I don't use them as rubber bands but rather the bands to attach removable high wings on radio controlled aircraft trainers.These trainer type aircraft come with wings which are held on by elastic or rubber bands so that they are easy to remove and perhaps a bit more "flexible" in a crash. Now, since they are holding on the actual wing, things like strength, durability, flexibility are all important as you really don't want to lose your wing while in flight. Not only do these meet the necessary criteria better than anything I've tried, they are also a nice and bright fluorescent orange color.Why is color important? Well, sometimes things come off a model airplane while it is in flight. Sometimes it's important things like propellers and you will know immediately that something has gone drastically wrong, even as you run to order repair parts for your airplane. However, sometimes it is one of these rubber bands breaking loose (you use more than one per side for this reason) but all you can see with you plane 200 feet in the air is "something" falling out of the sky that shouldn't be. Well, with the bright orange, it's fairly easy to identify the falling object as a broken rubber band and thus no need to panic (unless you didn't double strap in which case you too are running to order repair parts and perhaps reconsidering the amount of adult beverages you consume on a regular basis).So yes, it's a dumb little rubber band that we all take for granted BUT, if you're going to buy rubber bands for whatever reason, you might as well buy the best on the market and get them in a really cool color. Hey, the color will make it easy to identify the nefarious rubber band thieves that inhabit every office and you'll be able to bring the office supply police down on them. And if you are dumb enough to waste 100's of dollars crashing radio controlled aircraft (like me), you'll appreciate these particular bands. If you have other uses for them which cannot be discussed on a family friendly site like Amazon, please keep them to yourself and consider counseling.

I usually get the # 64 rubber bands, called "Postal Size". These Alliance non-rubber bands are just the same in size, and feel about the same. They stretch just a tad farther and easier than the other #64 rubber bands I have bought, but otherwise seem just the same. Except, of course, for their distinctive burnt orange color. The color is so you can tell they are made of synthetic rubber, so they won't affect latex allergies. Thanks Ladies. I just got them, so I can't say how durable they are, but they feel good and all of them seem uniform. And I'm getting used to the color, but then, I'm an Astros fan.

I use these exclusively for holding my collection of card (and board) games lids/boxes together.Non marking and strong.

I know that these are just rubber bands and I know that nobody is paying me for this review... but you have to believe me...I went through my whole life thinking that rubber bands are not something you need to buy as you can just collect them from here and there.Wrong.These are superior rubber bands. When you replace your old habits with these rubber bands you will never go back to living in such squalor. Every uniform rubber band assists you in your tying and clamping needs.Buy them in bulk so you never get caught without your rubber bands. These things are awesome. And they make great Christmas presents.

These are GREAT! Such a wonderful, vibrant colour.Very strong; the colour doesn't rub off, and the band doesn't fray.
