These are other by-products of our main business. We have to use cut pieces of string and elastic for making up price tags and swing tickets for retail outlets. We use longer pieces of elastic for making up face masks and we use treasury tags as a way to make handles on products such as pop-up handbags and pop-up lanterns for commercial business-to business promotions.
With a bit of luck, that information might have given you a couple of creative ideas that you hadn’t previously considered. However, we realise that you aren’t going to make thousands of masks or thousands of handbags and lanterns so we offer these items to you in packs of small quantities at a low price.

As for cut pieces of string – well who knows why you might use them but if we don’t put them on offer we will never know!

In our main business of manufacturing automatic pop-up products for business-to-business promotions we use thousands of rubber bands each week and that’s why we are able to offer you the chance to buy rubber bands at an attractive price. However, we can supply the bands only by weight as they come to us via our importer in bags weighing 1lb – just under 0.5 kilos. The sizes range from No 32s which stretch from 80mm to 160mm in length down to No 28s which stretch form 40mm to 80mm in length.
