Rubber Bands in the Toys Industry

Despite the unbroken trend towards online games, sales of model kits, experimental kits and classic board games in the toy industry are largely stable. However, this classic buyer segment expects high-quality materials from environmentally friendly production, such as wood, recycled paper, stone or natural rubber, when purchasing a model kit or board game.

Rubber rings made from natural rubber have always been an important component of many toys. H+D is one of the main suppliers of rubber rings, e.g. for ROBBE, GRAUPNER, KOSMOS, MULTIPLEX and many others. The range of applications is very diverse. It ranges from fastening the wings of gliders to the function of a propeller for simple motor airplanes, the tensioning device of a slingshot to the secure closure of a toy box. As the rubber rings can also be printed, they provide a lasting advertising effect in addition to their purely technical function.
