Planning An Event? Here’s Why You Need Wristbands.

Event Wristbands

Wristbands may seem as a little thing in terms of events, however they are extremely important. Not only are they important, but they offer a sense of security and with a little bit of personalisation, it can be a colourful way to get into your event. 

Key Takeaways: Wristbands are a small detail with big impact — they enhance security, branding and guest experience across all event types.

  • Security & access control: Easily verify ticket status and manage entry with tamper-proof wristbands.
  • Branding & promotion: Custom wristbands become a colourful marketing tool for your event.
  • Guest safety: Ideal for children’s events and public venues where identification matters.
  • Versatile materials: Tyvek for budget control, vinyl for durability, silicone for fundraising and keepsakes.

Do You Need Wristbands For Charity Events?

Wristbands aren’t always there for someone to gain access into an event, they can also help to promote, advertise and also raise awareness. The most popular wristbands for such occasions are our silicone wristbands, which are more durable than fabric, or Tyvek based wristbands.

Do You Really Need Wristbands For Nightclub/ Pubs?

For those who want to control the amount of people coming in and out of their event will need wristbands. Rather than having stamps placed all over your hands, wristbands offer a quick and efficient way of knowing who has already been in, or who is coming into your event. Again, wristbands can be completely customised, helping you colour coordinate and to use different materials. For nightclub events Tyvek and vinyl wristbands are the most popular.

Access & Security
  • Control entry and prevent misuse with single-use material wristbands.
  • Different colours or prints distinguish zones, age groups and ticket types.
Branding & Guest Experience
  • Branded wristbands act as giveaways and promote your event outside the venue.
  • Children’s events gain safety and reassurance using wristbands for identification.

What About Children’s Events?

Wristbands for children’s events can be both secure and provide a degree of safety. Children can be known to wonder, so with the wristband it can be easy to help them get back to exactly where they need to be. Wristbands are something that they won’t even notice they have on, so it’ll be no problem at all.
