Avoid the mess! Prevent trash liners from slipping into containers. They comfortably fit around a 13-gal. kitchen trash can and even a 55-65 gal. container; These rubber bands are also great for keeping your large cat litter box liner in place; Save your carton boxes. With these rubber bands you may easily reopen and reclose your boxes without having to seal them with a tape (that's what I use mine for). If you are moving, instead of taping your moving boxes you may use these rubber bands to close them; One customer of mine uses these bands for holding parts together when he builds guitars; You can use these bands for many other purposes. These bands are excellent to use for organization in your office or at home. These rubber bands are highly durable and stretch well within specification. These rubber bands contain natural latex, and so they will degrade faster if used in sunlight or in rooms that have fluorescent bulbs and other lamps that emit ultraviolet rays. The useful life of these awesome rubber bands depends on the amount of stress they are subject to and how long they are subject to the stress and environmental factors such as ultraviolet rays and other harsh conditions.
