GREEN SHIPPING SOLUTION: Large rubber bands reduce the need for excessive packaging. They're an excellent environmentally-friendly alternative to twine and box strapping as rubber bands can be used over and over again.REUSABLE: Jobs and tasks that require repeated access to secured boxes can mean taping and re-taping repeatedly. Instead, these big rubber bands are easy to slip off and replace with less fuss.SECURE GARBAGE BAGS: Large trash bags can easily slip out of place, allowing garbage and debris to enter the can and causing a mess. Instead, use these industrial elastic bands to keep drum liners secured. They're compatible with 44 and 55 gallon trash bins.LARGE, ODD SHAPES AND SIZES: While twine or strapping may slip off of large and awkwardly-sized items, SuperSize Bands are stretchy, accommodating bumps, edges and curves with a better grip.PROTECT FURNISHINGS: SuperSize bands can be used to secure tarps and coverings over furniture in storage, outdoors or when moving so that they don’t get damaged. They’re also great for bundling carpets and mats.
There are a few "rifle" and pistol styles made by companies, but in all honestly they are far too small and silly looking for a man to carry around. They don't really have the shape and look of a flintlock or matchlock/wheel-lock firearm. I have made most of mine by hand. For a long rifle, I used a 2x12 and cut it to the shape I wanted (looked online to find a pattern that I liked then glued a plastic clothespin at the back of the barrel location. You'll have to order some larger heavy duty rubber bands or make your own with surgical tubing.
Here is a link for the type of bands I use for my musket.

I'll post a picture of some pistols i'm working on later.
Honestly, get a couple of big rubber bands like these and you'll probably be fine. What's the manufacturer and model of the shaker, maybe you can find something from there?

Better cheaper option. Also multiple sizes so you can use thicker filters which work better.
Interesting. I use 1 or 2 of the sizes in this https://smile.amazon.com/Alliance-SuperSize-Resealable-Containing-Inches/dp/B0017D16PW/ref=pd_sim_229_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=VSAZB9ZP7PJZK8C0BS5F (on mobile) and they don't warp or stress my box lids. 5 inches doesn't warp the larger boxes?
