Each type of
identification wristband has its own unique benefits. All identification
wristbands can be custom printed to promote brands—including sponsors—and to
add extra security against counterfeits.Tyvek® identification wristbands are an ideal choice for short-term events, such as concerts, museums and zoos. Tyvek identification wristbands feature an adhesive closure, and do not tear or stretch—making them nontransferable. People cannot be admitted into an event or location, and then sneak in their pals. There’s no way to remove aTyvek identification wristband without cutting it, which makes it non-useable.
Both Plastic and Vinyl identification wristbands are excellent choices for single or multi-day use at waterparks, amusement parks and resorts. Both are silicone wristbands equipped for maximum security with a locking snap. Both are waterproof. Plastic identification wristbands qualify as durable, while Vinyl wristbands are ultra-durable. They are capable of enduring the water, sweat, dirt and mud of an active, outdoor getaway.
Glitter & Metallic identification wristbands are high style and come in holographic designs. Nontransferable with a locking snap, Glitter & Metallic identification wristbands are a fun option for nightclubs and stylish charity events or parties.
Bar Code and Thermal identification wristbands help streamline operations. Bar code identification wristbands have pre-printed bar codes, which work well for events at which you want to keep track of inventory and sales. Thermal identification wristbands use thermal printers to print data and bar codes on-demand. Constructed of strong, non-irritating material, thermal wristbands are the perfect solution for hospitals to ID patients to help ensure their medical safety.
Multi-tab identification wristbands feature tear-off tabs for redemption and are pre-printed with numbers. Whether one, three, four or five removable tabs are needed, there are multiple uses for these multi-tab identification wristbands—everything from coat checks to raffles to carnival ride vouchers to vouchers for food and drink at festivals.
Age/ID Verification wristbands improve customer service and sales because of the reduced wait time at concession stands. Here’s how they work: Staff check IDs upon entry into a venue. If the guest is 21 or older, the staff member securely fastens an identification wristband that is either pre-printed or thermal printed-on-demand with text, such as “21+” or “Over 21”. Anytime a guest orders a drink, the server just looks at their identification wristband. Guests do not need to pull out their ID each time they go to the concession stand to get alcohol. This process significantly reduces wait times.
Full-Color identification wristbands are available in many different styles and deliver maximum branding value. Logos, taglines, coupons, website URLs, photographs—pretty much anything you can think of—can be printed in full color onto identification wristbands. It’s a fun way to build branding and brand loyalty.
Custom printing can be done on any type of identification wristband that best fits the event or location. When people attend an event and are given an identification wristband to wear for admission and access, they often times wear it long after the event is over—especially if it has vibrant colors and a cool design. Friends, colleagues, family and neighbors will notice the colorful wristband, and then ask questions. They’ll want to know where that person went, how much fun they had, would they recommend it, how much did it cost, when is the best time to go—the questions are endless. If a good time was had, the word will spread like wild fire.
When worn after an event has drawn to a close, or worn for a multiple day event, identification wristbands become a walking, talking advertisement. It’s an ideal opportunity to sell advertising space to a sponsor or two. They get a chance to advertise and you can make up the cost of the identification wristbands. It’s possible to even make a small profit.
A great idea for sponsors is to print coupons onto identification wristbands. They can include their store address and invite people to stop by, “Show us your wristband. Get $10 off $50+ purchase.” It’s an effective way to build relationships, the brand, and sales all in one swoop.
