Rubber Bands for Food Service & Restaurants

Yes. Our rubber bands are manufactured by Alliance Rubber Company from premium natural latex and are widely used in food service, grocery, and produce applications across the country. They are suitable for food-adjacent use like bundling produce, sealing bags, and wrapping silverware. They are the same rubber bands used by grocery stores to bundle asparagus and herbs.

Alliance Rubber Company manufactures its products in compliance with applicable regulations. Our rubber bands are widely used in food-adjacent packaging throughout the produce, grocery, and food service industries. For specific compliance documentation or certifications required by your food service operation, contact our team and we can provide relevant product specifications and material data.

Natural rubber bands perform well in standard refrigeration temperatures (35-40 degrees Fahrenheit). They maintain their elasticity in walk-in coolers and reach-in refrigerators without significant degradation. In freezer environments (below 32 degrees Fahrenheit), rubber bands can become stiff and may lose some stretch, but they recover their elasticity when returned to room temperature. For cold storage applications, our Pale Crepe Gold line offers the best performance in varying temperatures.

Size #33 (3.5" x 1/8") is the most popular for silverware roll-ups. It holds napkin-wrapped silverware securely without being too bulky for table presentation. For larger roll-ups or cloth napkin wraps, Size #64 (3.5" x 1/4") provides extra hold. Many restaurants use colored rubber bands for roll-ups to add a visual touch that matches their branding.

Yes. Rubber bands are a simple, effective tamper-evident solution for takeout and delivery packaging. A rubber band around a closed bag or container shows the customer that their order has not been opened during delivery. Size #64 is the most visible option for this purpose. Some restaurants use colored bands so drivers and customers can easily identify sealed orders.

Our pricing starts at $7.49/lb for smaller quantities and drops to $2.99/lb for large recurring orders. A 5 lb bag of Size #33 contains approximately 3,000 rubber bands, enough to last most restaurants several weeks. All prices include free shipping to the continental United States (lower 48 states). Compare that to buying small boxes from your food distributor and the savings add up quickly.

Yes. We work with restaurants, catering operations, and food service companies on scheduled deliveries that match their usage patterns. Set up weekly, biweekly, or monthly shipments so you never run out during service. Contact our team to arrange recurring orders at preferred pricing.
