Rubber Bands

Pallet BandsBig Job® Bands are not just rubber bands. They're extra helping hands!

Big Job® Bands can often replace costly, unwieldy films, potentially damaging steel straps and sticky adhesive tapes.


You'll find use for them to:

  • Hold odd sizes and shapes;

  • Keep containers tightly closed when not in use;

  • Secure protective coverings around sub-assembled or finished goods;

  • Hold carton flaps open for picking and packing;

  • Group items to be shipped to separate locations;

  • Stabilize loaded pallets;

  • Hold breakables gently, without crushing;

  • Hold glued parts together until set during manufacture;

  • Keep loads in place during transit; and

  • Keep units together during storage.

 

Time and money are yours for the saving. Big Job® Bands are easily applied and quickly removed. In addition to their low initial cost, no tools or equipment are required to use them. One person can apply the band, saving on labor cost. For added economy, Big Job® Bands can be used again and again!
