Not injection molded strong but depending how you print they can be very strong. Those are only 3mm thick so they are printed solid. They are thin enough to be flexible still strong enough to last. Bigger objects are normally printed 'hollow" with just a thin grid infill for support but you can crank the infill percentage up to make it stronger at the cost of time.
Also depends on the material. These are printed in PLA. It's easy to print, cheap, fairly strong and biodegradable from corn starche. You can also print in ABS, TPU, PETG, and some nylon.

Par for the course for the time we are in. Our governor is more concerned about her vp campaign then MI residents so things are a bit of a mess. See what happens may 1st I guess, see how long it gets extended and what else she bans.
