Which Coloured Wristband Materials Are Most Appropriate for My Event?

We design, print and ship dozens of types of pre-printed, plain-coloured and customised wristbands using materials such as water-resistant paper and Tyvek, offering durability and cost-efficiency. Low-cost wristbands are ideal for one or two-day events, whereas an alternative such as silicone or fabric might be a better option for long-term usage.

What Can I Print on a Coloured Wristband?

If you require printed wristbands, you can either opt for black printing over a brightly coloured base colour or full print. Either solution allows you to add any lettering, contact information, logos, visitor details, branding or designs to your wristbands – you can see examples of previous print projects on each product page as inspiration!

Can I Use Coloured Wristbands as a Form of Paperless Ticketing?

Absolutely – we work with an increasing number of clients and event managers looking for ways to improve event security and ensure foot traffic is well managed without requiring attendees to carry physical tickets or produce barcodes or QR codes on a mobile device, with all the issues linked to lost tickets or devices that are out of signal or battery. Our full-colour print wristbands are a great option, where you can add security features like bar codes, serial numbers or holographic stickers, enabling staff to scan each wristband and verify the ticketing status of the wearer. Tamper-proof adhesive seals ensure attendees cannot share wristbands or remove a wristband once it has been checked to pass to somebody else.
