Paper Wristbands

How Can Paper Wristbands Help My Business?
By Paul Sung


Paper wristbands, also known as Tyvek wristbands, are different from silicone wristbands and vinyl wristbands in that they really are made of paper - just not the type of paper that you and I are used to using on a daily basis. They are instead made from a special type of paper known as 'Tyvek'.

Although referred to as 'paper', Tyvek is not truly a paper material. It is instead made from a blend of paper, fabric and fibre, making this stronger than normal paper, wearable and best of all, waterproof. You might not be able to go swimming with these wristbands on (at least not more than once!), but you can have fun without having to worry that they will come off with the slightest provocation.

These amazing alternatives to the more popular and widespread silicone wristbands are used for many things. Paper wristbands also come in a wide range of colours, patterns and designs; and they can even carry a corporate logo, or personal message if desired.

Most of the time these wristbands are used at large events (such as concerts) since they are the ideal method for identifying those who can legitimately be there against those who try to gate-crash. This comes about due to the fact that Tyvek wristbands are 'single use' wristbands, meaning that they are wearable only once and therefore not transferable to a friend waiting somewhere in the background.

Wearing these wristbands is also quite simple. All that is needed is to peel off the tab covering the adhesive backing and to wrap the wristband around your wrist. The only real way to get these paper wristbands off is by cutting them or tearing them off, thus making it difficult for a single wristband to be passed around from friend to friend.

Another great plus to these wristbands lays in the fact that they are inexpensive. For a product with only a single use function, these wristbands are a wonderful alternative for functions and events that require large quantities of people to be tagged.

And with the ability for these wristbands to be printed with whatever message is needed, they can be used for diverse purposes such as tagging those who are underage and therefore not legally allowed to be served alcohol. These types of wristbands will generally have a message that says something like "Over 21" or "Underage" printed on them allowing those not yet of drinking age to be identified throughout the duration of the event.

Tyvek paper wristbands are also available with a high-security foil (this security foil can only be seen with a UV light). This takes things a step further in preventing people from trying to fake their way through security measures and crowd control by using one of the pre-printed readily-available wristbands.

All in all, it cannot be denied that these wristbands are not only useful but also highly versatile. And with the ability for your own logo or message to be printed on these wristbands, it is a fact that it becomes easier to spread the word far and wide about...well, just about anything!
