Alliance 20165 Rubber Bands Size 16 1 lb 2-1/2-Inch x1/16-Inch Approx. 2675/BX NL

I am pleased with the generous amount of rubber bands that come in this box for the price. I use them every single day to band 2"-5" stacks of U.S. currencies of different denominations before I take the currency to the bank. Tellers appreciate the bands so much that they keep them for themselves unless I specifically tell them not to. :) The best thing about these rubber bands? They don't crinkle or tear the money like the old, thicker bands I used to use because the elastic is gentle yet firm. They are ideal for banding items that you don't want to be ripped or torn.

These are WAY BETTER than Thailand rubber bands. These #16 stretch to 13 inches, and they don't break. Thai rubber bands, available in office supply stores and Amazon, only stretch to 8 inches. I am not picking on Thailand -- just saying there is a significantly difference. We use rubber bands in a commercial product and use thousands. Cheap rubber bands have a very high break ratio -- 20%. The broken bands land on the floor, end up in a customer product, or hit you in the face. For a few micro-cents more, why not buy a decent product? Would you buy paperclips where 20% were defective? I have no alliance with Alliance ... I just appreciate a quality product.

Almost all are unusable. Little stretch will rip it. Tear after tear gets very annoying.

On the plus side there are a lot of rubber bands in this box for very little money. One the minus side they do not seem to be particularly substantial. They also do not seem to have as much flexible range - they can't stretch as far as other similarly sized rubber bands. So be sure to get the right size for your needs.But if you need a lot and use them once and this is the right size - this could be a great value.

Best rubber bands available, soft and lasts forever

I use these for my job, I have many unused bags of bands that did not make the cut. These are superior quality and store well for years.

Worked great for church tie-dye event. Will purchase again. Reliable and unbreakable.

These seem to be stretchier than most. They have a bunch of sizes for most needs. However, be aware that there aren't any really long rubber bands though the size chart - the third picture - suggests otherwise.

Great brand of rubber bands. We ran out in the house and the only acceptable replacements were Alliance bands.
