The importance of school wristbands

We know that school wristbands are a visual way to show your school spirit and togetherness! You can't get much more professional than a sea of students all wearing your school's colours and logo whilst they’re out in a public space. However, wristbands aren’t just for the look!

School wristbands are also incredibly useful for a variety of purposes - perhaps the most important - child safety.

In an emergency situation, school wristbands can be a lifesaver. If there is an emergency event during the school trip, every student has a brightly coloured wristband for easy identification.

This alone could make all the difference in a chaotic situation. You can read more about our child safety wristbands here. Or read our latest blog: How to keep students safe with wristbands.

School Wristbands are also great for:

Keeping track of who has paid for an event
Distinguishing between student year groups for both external trips and also for sports days. 
Keeping the public informed on which school students belong to when out on a school trip
Identifying any students with allergies - wristbands can be customised to show allergies and identification details.

What makes our wristbands great for schools?

Our school wristbands not only look great, but they include a number of features that make them ideal for school usage:

They’re tamper-proof - so no swapping or removing wristbands: Our wristbands are tamper-proof and durable. So your kids can have a great time on the trip without worrying about losing or breaking their wristbands. Trip leaders can rest assured knowing that the wristbands can’t be tampered with.

They’re made of resistant materials: We use smooth, tear-resistant paper for our wristbands. That means they're very comfortable and won't distract the students from the activities they’re participating in. We can even supply silicone wristbands that can be reused for a number of school events.

They’re available in bright colours: We stock a bunch of bright colours to choose from. This makes it easy to you can easily spot your group in a crowd and organise students.

They can show special instructions: Our wristbands also have space to write down any medical needs a student may have. So, whether they need extra attention, have allergies or have recently had an accident, our wristbands can help.

They can be used in a variety of situations: You can use them anywhere! Whether you're taking a group of students to a festival or concert, or even the local box-making factory (yawn), our wristbands are perfect for keeping your kids safe.

There are two styles to choose from: Our ID wristbands are great for sharing important health information, while our tyvek wristbands are perfect for displaying contact details.

They can be used as reward wristbands: We believe in celebrating achievements and empowering the youth, so we stock wristbands designed just for that.
