Abstract
The present invention comprises a band 20 which is used to secure single or multiple items. Band 20 has a first set of teeth 30 disposed on a first side 26 at a first end 22, and a second set of teeth 32 disposed on a second side 28 at an opposite second end 24. An aperture 34 is located near second end 24. Band 20 is wrapped around the item or items. First end 22 is then inserted into aperture 34 and band 20 is closed so that first teeth 30 interlockingly engage second teeth 32, thereby preventing band 20 from opening.
