Silicone Rubber Bands Features

1. High Durability: Made from silicone, these rubber bands offer excellent resistance to UV rays and heat, making them long-lasting and ideal for everyday tasks such as organizing trading cards and postcards.
2. Aesthetic Appeal: The transparent colors of the rubber bands add a beautiful touch, making them perfect for decorative tasks like wrapping gifts.
3. Enhanced Thickness: Unlike standard rubber bands (1.1mm), these are designed to be slightly thicker at 1.5mm, which addresses customer requests for a sturdier product.
4. Latex-Free Material: Perfect for individuals allergic to natural rubber, these bands offer a comfortable experience without the typical rubber smell.
5. Quality Assurance: All components are proudly made in Japan with strict quality controls in place.

Unique Can Design

The Overband packaging features a lively design showcasing Sanrio characters enjoying skateboarding, adding a fun twist to the product. The matte finish on the can provides a touch of sophistication, complemented by glossy accents on the character designs.

The compact mini can is not only functional but also convenient, as it’s hinged for easy access. Its square shape allows for neat storage in drawers, and it can be stacked efficiently. Once the rubber bands are used, the can becomes a practical storage solution for small items like clips, coins, and beads.

The Overband x Sanrio Characters Can will be available nationwide from various retailers, including stationery and mass merchandise stores, as well as online shopping sites starting June 27. Pre-orders will commence on June 11 via Amazon, with shipments starting shortly after the release date.
