Choosing a wristband can be such a daunting task! There are so many suppliers, colours and styles to choose from that is can be quite difficult to work out what wristband you need. Here are a few tips to get the style and value you are looking for:

What is Tyvek?
Tyvek (a DuPont registered trademark) is a non-woven, high density polyethylene material that looks and feels a bit like paper but has the fantastic strength of plastic. It doesn’t easily tear like paper and it keeps looking good for hours of continuous wear.

How long will the wristband be used?
If the function is only for a few hours and it doesn’t matter if the wristband isn’t worn once the function is over, the Tyvek wristbands are probably the most suitable. If the function is for a full day or over a few days than a plastic or vinyl band is the way to go. If you are using it as part of an experience you might consider the plastic bands as a reminder of that experience.

What is my budget?
Tyvek wristbands are cheaper than plastic and vinyl wristbands. But remember, that if the function is going all day or over a few days, the Tyvek bands will probably need replacing.

What message do I want to give?
Pre-printed wristbands can add to the theme of a function or make it a lively introduction to a fun event. If you want to ensure a safe environment with youngsters around, the Proof of Age wristbands can help.
Custom printed bands are the ideal way to go for functions with a large number of people and can be a very cost-effective way of promoting your brand with your guests. Fundraisers are also looking to custom print wristbands on classy plastic and vinyl wristbands as a way of ensuring a lasting message stays with the recipient.

What image am I creating?
Plastic bands look more upmarket than Tyvek bands and can help create a quality impression with your guests with only a little extra cost. While the Tyvek bands still look great, the plastic bands can take you to the “next level”.
