Frequently Asked Questions

Reach out and our team will help you select the best option for your needs.
What type of rubber band do I need?
The ideal rubber band depends on its specific use in seafood handling. For lobster claws, we recommend high-resistance rubber bands, such as 25×13 mm, designed to maintain pressure without snapping under constant humidity or during refrigerated transport. For oyster bags, lighter bands with strong tension are ideal to securely close the mesh without damaging the shellfish inside. In oyster farming, especially on ropes or mesh in open water, we produce EPDM bands with UV and saltwater resistance, designed for long-term exposure at sea. Bandex will advise you based on the environment, species, and handling process involved.
What sizes does Bandex manufacture for oysters and lobsters?
At Bandex, we manufacture marine-grade rubber bands in a wide variety of lengths and thicknesses, tailored to each need. For lobster claws, for example, we produce high-tension, durable natural rubber or silicone bands that provide a secure hold both in tanks and during distribution. For oyster bags, our bands fit the neck diameter of each sack and ensure a tight seal during transport and export. We also offer specific sizes for open-sea oyster farming. In addition to standard sizes, we offer custom manufacturing to meet the technical requirements of each client and type of seafood.
How do I correctly measure a rubber band?
To choose the right band, you need to know both the flat length (unstretched, not including the anchor head if present) and the width. For example, a 25×13 mm lobster rubber band measures 25 mm long and 13 mm wide when not stretched. An incorrect size may fail to secure properly or cause damage during use. Proper measurement ensures the best fit for each shellfish type and packaging requirement.
What packaging options and custom branding are available?
Bandex offers flexible packaging solutions to meet the logistical needs of the aquaculture sector. Our lobster claw or oyster bag rubber bands can be supplied in 1 kg, 5 kg bags, or unit packs, with options for custom labeling or private labeling. This type of packaging is especially useful for seafood distributors, wholesale markets, nurseries, wholesalers, or exporters. Whatever format you choose, our rubber bands are ready for professional use.
