Rubber Bands Dominate Domestic Trade Says New York Dealer
A New York wholesale rubber dealer notes millions of rubber bands are used annually in the United States. About 60 percent are made in New York, with the rest from New Jersey and New England. Bands vary from one sixteenth to one and a half inches wide and from a quarter inch to six inches long. Small bands cost around 44 to 48 cents per gross, while large bands fetch higher prices. Drugstores and grocers favor small and medium bands for packaging, while lawyers and bankers use larger, pricier bands for filing documents.
