Office Products prescription rubber bands, diameter 100 mm, cross-section 1.5×1.5 mm, 60% natural rubber, 1000 g pack, white

Office Products prescription rubber bands are designed for consistent elastic performance in office, postal and light industrial applications. These white rubber bands have a 100 mm diameter and a rectangular cross-section of 1.5 × 1.5 mm, made from a compound that contains 60% natural rubber. The product is supplied as a 1000 g shrink-wrapped pack, providing a bulk quantity for repeated use in bundling paper, securing small packages and other routine holding tasks.

Advantages

These rubber bands combine the elasticity and recovery typical of natural-rubber blends with a narrow, rectangular profile that distributes pressure evenly across wrapped items. The 60% natural rubber content improves flexibility and grip while the remaining compound components enhance resistance to brittleness and environmental aging. Supplied in a 1000 g pack, they are convenient for offices and service centres that require a reliable, economical stock of fastening elastics.

Suitable for

• Bundling documents, files and stacks of paper
• Securing small parcels and envelopes for postal handling
• Organising cords, straps and light workplace items
• Medical or receptacle uses where non-specialised elastic ties are needed

How to use

Select the band size appropriate for the item to be secured and stretch the band evenly to avoid local overstress. Wrap the rubber band around the bundle or object so the rectangular profile lies flat against surfaces for uniform pressure distribution. For repeated use, inspect bands for signs of cracking or loss of elasticity and replace as necessary. Keep bands away from sharp edges that can cut the material.

Usage recommendations

Store the pack in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and ozone sources to prolong elasticity. For archival documents or delicate surfaces, consider using a barrier layer (e.g., paper or soft wrap) between the band and the item to reduce marking.
