Frequently Asked Questions
What types of event wristbands do you offer in NZ?
We offer Tyvek, vinyl, plastic, holographic, woven, dye sublimated and Dazzler wristbands, plus in-stock Tyvek and silicone wristbands. The table in the Description tab shows which one suits your event.
Which wristband is best for a one-day event?
Tyvek wristbands are single use with a tamper-resistant adhesive closure, so they suit one-day gated events and concerts. They can also be sequentially numbered for headcounts and re-entry.
Which wristbands suit a multi-day festival?
Vinyl and plastic wristbands are waterproof and stretch-resistant with a tamperproof snap closure, so they stay on and stay readable over several days. Woven and dye sublimated bands with a one-way toggle are another option.
Is artwork setup included?
Yes, it is free. Send us your logo and we will prepare a digital proof for you to approve before production starts.
How long does a wristband order take?
Lead times depend on the product, quantity and branding method. Tell us your date when you ask for a quote and we will confirm what we can do.
Do you have silicone wristbands?
Yes. Plain and rainbow silicone wristbands are available from stock. Ask our team about custom silicone options for your event.
