How safe are they?
Wristbands are probably the safest way to control your event. Here at The Wristband Company, we have the largest range of security feature. The metal crimp closure option on our wristbands is fastened with a closing tool, which is available for hire for the duration of your event, which makes that non-transferable. Other options include the self-closing mechanism, which still offers high-security wristbands, without the need of a closing tool. Both options are 100% tamperproof.
What’s the difference between the Wristbands?
Tyvek wristbands: Made from spun polyethylene. They look and feel like paper, but are extremely durable and tamperproof, ideal for a one or two-day conference.
Vinyl wristbands: These offer a longer life and are even more durable. The security level is up a notch too – the only way to remove it is to cut it off. They’re available in a huge range of colours and in differing styles.
Fabric wristbands: These offer the highest level of security, but more importantly for the fashion conscious, they double up as a cool accessory.
Silicone Wristbands: aka: rubber wristbands. Most commonly used as charity wristbands, these offer the ideal solution for promotional, advertising and awareness campaigns.
