Sports Wristbands for sporting events

Sports wristbands are ideal for competitor and spectator events as a low-cost, eco-conscious way to issue ticketing and entrance passes at a fraction of the cost associated with other solutions. Our high-quality sports wristbands are available in a variety of materials and finishes, from one-use, water-resistant paper wristbands to vinyl wristbands for event staff and security access and custom-printed, full-colour wristbands in children's and adult's sizing.

For tournaments and competitive events, see which wristbands offer built-in security features like RFID and barcodes.

 

Our Product Picks 

The great aspect of Tyvek wristbands is that, while budget-friendly, each band cannot be removed without damage, improving entry controls, reducing deliberate wastage or duplications, and ensuring sports stadiums, venues, and managers eliminate unnecessary expenditures. 

Sports wristbands are used for event participants, spectators, exhibitors, and competitors. Variable wristband colours are an easy, high-visibility way to differentiate between categories, defining competitors, VIPs, coaching teams, spectators, or attendees competing or watching events from different stands or competitions. 

Some of our highest-demand sports wristbands include:

Litter-Free Tyvek Wristbands: An ideal solution for sports events wishing to minimise their costs and environmental impact, these zero-waste sports wristbands are fully customisable and have non-removable attachments to discourage littering.

Biodegradable Bamboo Wristbands: Produced in a soft, eco-friendly bamboo that is naturally biodegradable, this sports wristband is suited to two or three-day events, with no use of plastic. Sports managers and event hosts can print their wristbands on one or both sides, featuring branding, slogans and logos.

RFID Wristbands: Wristbands with embedded RFID  are great for ticketed events, with each band including a water-resistant finish and smart tag, denoting entry permissions, event categories and ticket status.

Silicone Wristbands: Silicone sports wristbands act as a memento of your event or occasion, available in standard, child and extra-wide sizing. The debossed lettering is extremely hard wearing and remains visible and legible over extended periods of usage.

Please access the above links for more details and specifications about each of the above featured sports wristbands – including minimum order quantities, pricing, colours and sizing.
