Which event wristband for which occasion?

When you're organising an event, an ID wristband is always a good idea! With an ID wristband you can identify and check who’s taking part in your event at a glance, plus it’s a great way of creating customer loyalty, as some people like to keep it as a souvenir after the event. The customised ID wristband can be used for all types of events: festivals, concerts, private parties, exhibitions, sports competitions, nightclubs, hospitals, theme parks, all-inclusive hotels, campsites and many other places. Depending on your use, you'll need a wristband that's more or less resistant, customised or neutral, single-use or reusable.

Are you holding a one-day event and looking for an inexpensive ID wristband? We recommend a Tyvek model. Tyvek wristbands, also known as "paper wristbands", are the ideal solution for controlling access to a one-day event, such as a private party, festival, concert, VIP evening, sports event, student party, etc. These event wristbands are made from Tyvek, a material containing polyethylene fibres, which makes them highly resistant, even against water, and tear-proof. The adhesive closure has been designed to tear when someone tries to break the wristband, so it's a single-use wristband that makes it easy to spot fraud attempts, which are fairly common in the events sector. You can also use our online customisation tool to customise your Tyvek paper wristband by adding the logo, text and images of your choice.

However, if you’re organising an event over several days, then our fabric wristbands are perfect for you. The customised fabric wristband is the most elegant, comfortable type of event wristband. It’s durable, high-quality and completely waterproof. Thanks to the different closures we offer, you can make your fabric wristband single-use, to prevent transfers, or reusable, if you want your guests to be able to reuse it.The customisable fabric wristband is generally popular at festivals, as festival-goers like to keep their wristband as a souvenir. This type of ID wristband allows for more sophisticated customisation, making it impossible to copy. The customised fabric wristband comes in three versions: printed, woven or recycled fabric.

If you're looking for a solution that's more resistant than Tyvek but less expensive than fabric, then try a plastic or vinyl wristband. Vinyl or plastic ID wristbands are fully customisable and ideal for use over several days. Single-use thanks to their ultra-strong plastic pressure seal, they cannot be opened once closed. These event wristbands are available in a multitude of different models and colours: bright, transparent, glittery, fluorescent, reflective and many more. Cheaper than vinyl, plastic is very light and comfortable to wear, but is not recommended for use in water. If you're looking for wristbands for prolonged use in a swimming pool, we suggest you opt for a vinyl model. Fully water-resistant, our vinyl wristbands are ideal for use in water parks and aquatic environments, as well as for festivals, VIP parties, hotels and campsites.

If you want a wristband that identifies your guests and can also be used as a payment method or a key, RFID wristbands are the solution you need! These wristbands are fitted with an RFID chip and wearers can use them to make payments or gain access to specific areas. They are available in several different materials: fabric, elastic polyester, silicone or plastic. Several different chips are also available, depending on how you want to use them. They are ideal for use in water parks or wellness centers, for example to give customers access to their lockers, in hotels to replace room keys, at festivals to replace payment methods and many other applications.

Are you looking for single-use wristbands to print on site for your event, to identify your guests? We offer thermal wristbands with their own printer.You can use these at the event venue to print your own wristbands with one or more logos, a date, name, QR code or barcode, depending on your needs.
