Alliance Rubber 37646#64 Non-Latex Rubber Bands, 1 lb Box Contains Approx. 380 Bands (3 1/2" x 1/4", Orange)

Excellent quality. The very best in non-latex rubber bands.

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.

Strong and best quality bands

I work in an office environment of engineers. We have used #64 rubber bands for securing rolled up drawings and shooting at each other for years. So thinking of my kids, I decided to purchase some online, thinking what a handy item to have around the house, both for the kids to shoot at each other, and also the wife. Now this all happened back in 2022, and the rubber bands I received were kinda weak, in that when you would stretch them out, they sort of...died? Kinda like an insect that mates once and dies all in a matter of minutes. They just would lose all elasticity after you pulled them to their max. This really bummed me out. And I had like 300 of these things in the drawer. So I finally used them all up and bought these. They are orange, which means easier to find on the floor. They don't have a very powdery feeling to the texture. They feel less porous, very smooth and soft. They do have sort of an odor about them, but it's not that unfamiliar, just latexy I guess. Anyway these things so far bounce back great time after time and retain all of that potential energy. So much better than the other brand. I forget that brand's name, but don't worry, just get these.

order came quickly and D/O placement by driver was done well.Happy with this purchase and service.

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.

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.
