About this product

Once fitted to the wrist, a wristband can't be removed without breaking the lock; if someone tries to take it off, the lock tears and the wristband can't be put back on. It's used anywhere entry shouldn't be passed on to someone else. Satin wristbands are sublimation-printed and stay comfortable against the skin through sweat and multi-day events; produced in 15 and 20 mm widths. Tyvek is a waterproof paper, the most economical option for single-day events. For pools and water parks, where the wristband stays in water continuously, vinyl is built with a tear-resistant plastic body.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about Event Wristbands. If you don't find your question here, you can call us.

Which wristband type should I choose?

Choose satin if the event runs over multiple days or the wristband will be exposed to sweat — the fabric stays comfortable against the skin and the sublimation print doesn't fade. Tyvek is enough for a single-day event and is the most economical choice. Vinyl is used for pools, water parks, and anywhere it stays in water continuously.

What widths are satin wristbands produced in?

They're produced in 15 and 20 mm. The 20 mm width gives a larger print area — it's the one to choose if your logo is detailed or you need two lines of text.

Can each wristband carry a different number?

Yes. Sequential numbers, barcodes or QR codes can be printed — that's how entry counts and re-entry checks are handled.

What's the minimum production quantity for wristbands?

We produce from 50 units. Print setup and lock assembly are fixed costs, so the unit price doesn't make sense below that quantity.
