Better Rubber Bands
Hair ties are less breakable and won't leave a residue when exposed to the weather.
I’ve come to learn that hair ties make the best tool for securing a rolled-up set of blueprints. Typical rubber bands have a short lifespan and can leave a residue on the prints when exposed to weather or temperature changes. Hair ties keep prints clean and organized.

Looks like those hair ties would also attract sand, dirt, water, and sawdust, eventually leaving a line in the center of your plans. But I''m sure they'll work just fine.
