Flat elastic bands closed into a ring: stylish and functional
A flat elastic band is much more than just a practical fastening. It is a design element that lends a professional structure to notebooks, presentation folders and packaging. Our flat elastic bands are permanently closed into a ring using a special metal split pin. This mechanical connection is far more durable than conventional knots and ensures a flat, clean profile that impresses both in further processing and with the end customer.
Technical precision from the manufacturer
Thanks to our in-house production, we can respond flexibly to your individual requirements:
- Optimal width: With a width of approx. 5 mm, our Flat Elastics on Spool 500 m are robust enough for heavy folders and at the same time elastic enough for delicate invitation cards.
- Custom lengths: Choose from a range of 150 mm to 590 mm in total length. We cut and assemble the strip precisely to your specifications.
- Permanent connection: The metal split pin secures the ends of the rubber strip inseparably together. This guarantees security when closing cases or holding inserts in menus.
Applications: Where flat elastic bands make the difference
The flat geometry offers technical advantages in many industries:
- Organisational aids: As a fastening for elasticated folders, binders and clipboards.
- Catering & Events: For securing menu sheets or as an elegant loop for price tags and labels.
- Lifestyle & Accessories: Thanks to the high quality of the textile covering, also ideal for use as a gentle hair tie or elastic fastener for jewellery boxes.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why should I choose Flat Elastics on Spool 500 m instead of a round one?
The 5 mm wide Flat Elastics on Spool 500 m cut less into soft cardboard and offer a more striking, modern aesthetic. They also lie more securely on flat surfaces (such as book covers) and are less likely to slip.
How do I determine the ideal length for a folder closure?
The specified length corresponds to the circumference of the ring when laid flat. To achieve good tension, the length of the elastic band should be approximately 10–20% shorter than the circumference of the object to be enclosed.
