2. Unpacking and Initial Inspection
Upon receiving your Viva Natural Rubber Bands, carefully open the packaging. Inspect the bands for any visible damage or irregularities. While rare, natural rubber products can sometimes exhibit minor variations. Ensure the quantity matches your order (1000g). The bands are ready for immediate use directly from the package.
3. Usage Instructions
Viva Natural Rubber Bands are versatile and easy to use. Follow these general guidelines:
- Bundling: Gather items together and stretch the rubber band around them. For a secure hold, wrap the band multiple times if necessary.
- Organizing: Use bands to keep cables, documents, or small tools neatly organized.
- Securing: Apply bands to secure lids, covers, or other objects that require a temporary fastener.
- Stretching: The bands are designed to stretch significantly. Avoid overstretching beyond their elastic limit to prevent breakage.
Always ensure the band is appropriately sized for the items you are bundling to achieve optimal tension and longevity.
4. Care and Maintenance
To maximize the lifespan and maintain the elasticity of your Viva Natural Rubber Bands, observe the following care instructions:
- Storage: Store rubber bands in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, fluorescent light, and heat sources. Exposure to UV light and high temperatures can degrade natural rubber over time, leading to brittleness and loss of elasticity.
- Chemicals: Avoid contact with oils, greases, solvents, and strong chemicals, as these can damage the rubber.
- Cleaning: If necessary, the bands can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Ensure they are completely dry before storing.
5. Troubleshooting
While Viva Natural Rubber Bands are manufactured for durability, issues can occasionally arise:
- Bands breaking easily: This can occur if bands are old, stored improperly (exposed to heat/light), or overstretched. Ensure proper storage and use bands within their elastic limits.
- Loss of elasticity: Over time, especially with improper storage, natural rubber can lose its stretch. Replace bands that no longer provide adequate tension.
If you experience consistent issues with new bands, please refer to the Warranty & Support section.
