Hi, I'm looking to buy some 7 1/2" x 1/8" rubber bands like the ones my hospital used to use to bundle charts.
I'd rather pay a little more for longevity. I assume longer life is associated with higher rubber content and size. Rubber content doesn't always seem to be listed. I have noticed that in this size manufacturers pack 200 - 300 bands per pound. Can I assume that the bands in the 200 packs last longer? I have the sense that the "pale crepe" ones are on the better end of the spectrum yet there are 300 per pound. What gives please???
Thanks,
Gary

The Pale Crepe bands are the most expensive rubber bands due to their extremely high rubber content. In fact, they have the highest rubber content of all rubber bands. Rubber is relatively light. While there may be more bands per package and a higher band count of Pale Crepe bands, rubber, however, doesn't correlate to longevity. Rubber has better elasticity and has better retention of its original size and shape than other bands. Having said that, it is sensitive to UV light is subject to breakage and becoming brittle. The higher rubber content of Pale Crepe rubber bands makes them extremely soft. They are recommended for people with arthritis or Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. They have a softer stretch than other rubber bands and are the most ergonomically friendly rubber band. If you're looking for band built for longevity, we recommend a non latex option, the Extreme EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) Rubber Bands, X-treme File Bands, 117B, 7 x 1/8, Black (Item ALL02004). The synthetic rubber makes the bands resilient to heat, UV, ozone, weather, and age, making them an ideal choice for a wide range of applications, from home to office to recreational uses.
