The Best Wristband Options for Your Event Type

Carnivals, fairs, and concerts all utilize wristbands for tracking attendee entree and further management for their events.

But why stop there?

Wristbands work great for a variety of different events and can be customizable to cater to your needs for guest management while creating a personalized experience. 

Here are the different wristband options Purplepass provides their event promoters and what events they work well with. 

Tyvek wristbands 

Our Tyvek wristbands are produced from a great material that is lightweight, tear resistant, and waterproof, making it feel similar to paper, but is actually made of tiny fibers of plastic to give it that extra durability certain events might need.

We also use 1070D tyvek, which is the highest quality and thickest version on the market.

These are offered in a variety of colors to print from; yellow, blue, green, pink, white, and red. You can also do custom prints as well depending on what the wristband is being used for such as VIP passes or age verification and identification. 

 

Tyvek wristbands are most commonly used for: 

- 1 day / 1 time use events

If you have an event with different ticket types such as 21+, military, VIP, you can order different colored wristbands to represent the different ticket type to make guest types easier to identify.

These are very high-end, durable and smart wristbands recommended for any type of event … and did I mention very comfortable.

They are made out of soft fabric that can easily be secured over anyones’ wrist - child and adult.

They have a smart adjuster, that once placed on a wrist will secure and remain in place so the wristband cannot be taken off and/or shared. 

We have VIP options pre-made and ready for immediate sale. We also offer custom made wristbands specifically for events. These take about 2-3 weeks to be made and ready for shipment. 

If you want to be able to scan your poly wristband as a ticket, you can add QR codes for admission scanning.
