Security Wristbands

All our Tyvek® wristbands can withstand harsh outdoor conditions, including water and strong direct sunlight. They're comfortable to wear and resistant to abrasion, tearing, and punctures. Though comfortable to wear, they resist repetitive folding and flexing and will last for the duration of your event!

All our Tyvek® wristbands are also fully recyclable, as polyethylene is similar to plastic bottles. Our Montana-based production facility is 100% wind-powered, and we use non-toxic, earth-friendly inks. Visit our conservation page to learn more.

Tyvek® is not paper. It’s a strong, waterproof, and durable fabric made of randomly laid and compressed high-density polyethylene fibers.

Tyvek® wristbands are synthetic fabric bracelets most commonly used to secure events. Made from lightweight and durable Tyvek® material, they'll last for the duration of your event. Use Tyvek® wristbands any time you need to identify your attendees in a glance.

Inkjet printers are the optimal printing technology for Tyvek® fabric. Therefore, logos and text printing on Tyvek® will have less brightness and clarity (for example, sharp edges) than laser printing on high-gloss paper. However, the printing is durable and will not smear or rub on the Tyvek® wristband.

Vinyl wristbands are made in a broad range of materials, one of which is Tyvek®. Our event wristbands are commonly called ' Tyvek® wristbands,' as they are made of Tyvek®, which is a durable, waterproof fabric. Vinyl wristbands are made from polypropylene. If you need even more durability and strength or require wristbands to last multiple days, they’re a great choice!

Our standard custom Tyvek® wristbands are printed on your choice of wristband color in black and white. Our Synthetic Premium Tyvek® wristbands can be printed in color, and feature individual numbering for security.

All our Tyvek® wristbands feature tamper-proof adhesive tabs.

No problem! For color printing, you can opt for our Synthetic Premium Tyvek® option. We can offer spot color and are able to bleed solid background colors. However, if you have a gradient or patterned background, there will be a white border on the top and bottom of the design.

They're comfortable to wear, resist repetitive folding and flexing, and are inexpensive when purchased in large quantities. Secured to guests' wrists, wristbands help eliminate potential traffic jams as people line up to get into your event. Plus, Tyvek® wristbands stay on and don't allow clients to transfer one wristband to another person.

Use Tyvek® wristbands as proof of entry or ticket purchase, or as evidence of ID verification for age-restricted events or purchases. They can be used for music festivals, concerts, nightclubs, crowd control, all-inclusive resorts, conventions, parties, amusement parks, stadiums, camps, bars, hotels, restaurants, schools, daycare centers, tour groups, crowd management, special privileges, catering, age ID, height restrictions, sporting events, and much more.

Of course! Tyvek® wristbands can be printed with high-quality, unique graphics that will show your commitment to giving each of your VIPs the best experience. All VIP wristbands are secure, comfortable, and allow your staff to quickly and easily identify who belongs in the special access VIP areas.

Our customers order different colored custom standard Tyvek® wristbands for all kinds of reasons, from monitoring access to events or special areas to designating different colors for specific days of multi-day events or identifying VIPs.

All of our Tyvek® wristbands feature tamper-proof adhesive tabs. Once attached, the adhesive tab cannot be detached without tearing or destroying the band. If the band is attached snugly on the customer's wrist, it cannot be removed unless it is cut off.

Our holographic wristbands feature a holographic foil label that is extremely difficult to duplicate. Additionally, our Synthetic Premium Tyvek wristbands feature sequential security numbering, and the serial number can begin where you desire the pattern to start.

Standard custom Tyvek® wristbands are pre-stamped with a sequential pattern. The number is in black and located just beneath the adhesive. For orders of 5,000 or fewer, the numbers will be sequential. For orders over 20,000, there may be a gap in the sequential numbers, but no numbers will be duplicated.

Our Synthetic Premium Tyvek® wristbands are sequential, and the serial number can begin where you desire the pattern to start.

The band is 10" maximum length with an approximately 1" adhesive tab. This allows our Tyvek® wristbands to be attached around any wrist size from the tiniest wrist up to a wrist 7" in maximum diameter.

When designing your custom Tyvek® wristband, please keep in mind that the printable area is 7.5" x .8" for gradient/patterned color backgrounds. If you are designing a full-color print, the printable area is 7.35" x 1.2" for solid color backgrounds.

Given that our Tyvek® wristbands are 1" (with a 0.8" printable area) wide, there is a considerable amount of space with which to work. We’re happy to help you to print colors, images, and text that will match your tickets, posters, and overall event branding.

Absolutely! We do proofing in two ways.

If you choose any of our wristband templates, fill in the information you want on the wristband, and then click continue. An instant proof of your custom Tyvek® wristband will appear. Please carefully check your custom Tyvek® wristband to ensure it is exactly what you want! When you’re ready, select the checkbox explicitly approving your proof, and proceed to checkout.

If you choose to have a Tyvek® wristband custom designed, we'll email an electronic proof of your custom Tyvek® wristband. This proof must be reviewed and approved by you before we print. The electronic proof is sent via email and therefore is electronic in its form.

When reviewing your proof, please remember that because it is electronic in form, it will not fully demonstrate the inkjet printing of the logo and/or text on the Tyvek® fabric. By the very nature of Tyvek® fabric, your actual wristbands will have slightly less clarity and brightness than full-color digital printing on high-gloss paper (for example). If you have any questions, request our wristband sample kit or LiveChat our friendly customer service team.

We strongly recommend you request our Tyvek® wristband sample kit which contains actual printed wristbands. As noted in the above FAQ, wristband printing on Tyvek® is different from normal digital printing on white paper. Once requested, we’ll send your Tyvek® wristband sample kit the next business day. Or, you can request the wristband sample kit by calling our friendly Customer Support Team at 888.771.0809 or contacting them via LiveChat.

We do offer this through our custom service on Synthetic Premium wristbands. For attendee names and variable data, there is a fee of $0.02 per wristband. There is no fee for barcodes and customized numbering.

Eventgroove has no setup fees or hidden costs. The only cost in addition to the wristband printing is the shipping charge necessary to get your order delivered to you.

For custom orders that our design team creates, there may be a fee depending on the variables. The first hour of design time is free. Design time is $35/hour after the first hour.
