Event & Security ID’s
Silicone wristbands are widely used for admission control at events, parties and nightclubs and are a great way of easily monitoring entry in and out of these events. These customisable bands can be bought in bulk and are easy to wear, waterproof and hard to lose making them a great alternative to physical entry tickets. The possibility of different text/colours is also useful to control restricted/VIP areas. RFID (radio frequency identification) bands can also be used to scan for automatic entry and data control.
Fundraising & Charity Events
Silicone wristbands are a simple and cost-effective way of raising funds and awareness for a charity. Easily personalised with your fundraising cause or charity name, they are great for non-profit organisations, charities, schools and businesses to sell to promote their cause, raise money and educate others. People can show their support in a fashionable way and potentially encourage others to donate too.
School Events & Trips
Silicone wristbands are very popular in schools as they have a variety of useful purposes and the extensive range or colours and patterns always make them a huge hit with kids! Schools can use printed silicone wristbands on school trips for a little extra peace of mind, meaning if a child goes missing they will have the school’s contact details on their wrist at all times. They can also be used on sports days to arrange a large number of children into teams or different numbers, and then can be used at the end of the day to give out as low-cost medals in silver, gold and bronze.
COVID Awareness
Since the outbreak of covid-19, silicone wristbands have gained a whole new use in offices, universities and schools as they are a great way to allow individuals to express how they feel about the virus without the need of any awkward conversations. Bespoke silicone wristbands can be made in red, amber and green and can be personalised with text such as ‘please stay 5 feet away’, ‘I’m happy to talk but please still be cautious’ and ‘I’m not worried and I am happy to shake hands’. This shows others exactly how you’d like to be treated and gives everyone the opportunity to have their feelings validated and respected by others.
Promotional Purposes
Silicone wristbands make a great promotional product for businesses to giveaway as a low-cost freebie. With their durability and longevity, they will last forever, meaning your clients will think of your business every time they see their wristband. They are an easy item to give away on a stall at an event and printed with your company name and logo they can do wonders for your company’s brand awareness. With your clients wearing your wristbands they essentially become walking advertisements for your business, promoting you to new consumers wherever they go.
Fashion
Silicone wristbands can make a bright and bold fashion statement and can easily be printed with popular quotes, sayings and pictures making them fit in with current trends. They can be matched with any outfit and can prove quite the attention-grabbing accessory!
Music Festivals
Silicone wristbands, particularly RFID (radio frequency identification) bands have recently become very popular as music festivals and concerts. Coachella was the first music festival to use RFID wristbands in replace of paper tickets, and since then artists such as Taylor Swift and Coldplay have also gone on to use silicone RFID bands at their concerts. Swapping paper tickets to wristbands means people can enjoy their day without having the worry of losing their tickets, and they also make a great personalised souvenir to remember the day.
Medical Awareness
Silicone wristbands can be used in schools, hospitals and at events to identify people with serious medical conditions. Whether it’s a serious allergy, diabetes or epilepsy, wristbands can signpost a person’s illness so that they can be assisted efficiently in times of need. A bright wristband printed with the name of their allergy, instructions on how to help or their emergency contact number could be life-saving to someone who is in need of help and is unable to communicate themselves. It can also be useful in schools to show allergies and make sure children aren’t served food that they cannot eat.
Motivational Purposes
Silicone wristbands can be a great tool to keep you motivated, whether that be for reminding you to exercise, to stay away from drugs/smoking or to remind you of your faith. Having the band on your wrist is a constant reminder of your goals and a way to get you back on track if you stray from them. They are also a great conversation starter and allow you to talk about your goals with others.
Event Souvenirs
Silicone wristbands make a great souvenir for all kinds of events, including hen do’s, stag do’s and weddings. Engrave the bands with the name of the bride and groom and the year of the weddings and they can be worn long after to remember the special day. They can also be given out at christenings and birthday parties as a little keepsake for everyone to remember their day.
