I have used small stretchy/elastic hair bands on bobbins to keep the workers identified so I don't mix them up. These have a thread type covering so I don't think they would stick to the bobbins when they get old. I've also used the little stretchy hair bands without a thread covering for small projects like a bookmarks.
Traditional rubber bands do break down, but I've only seen both of these just get too loose or break.
