10 Ideas for School Wristbands Just For You
1 School Wristbands for Student Safety
Food allergies and health issues put some children at risk when trying new things. The child might be in an accident or get ill. Adults need access to these existing health details quickly. Choose wristbands that you can write directly onto. These will allow you to print the needed info for at-risk children. School wristbands should be provided to at-risk children with their urgent contact information on, so everyone is protected.
2 Lunch Wristbands
Schools that offer a range of meal options can have difficulty keeping everything organised. Use a different colour wristband for each meal choice. This allows food servers to pinpoint each child’s needs right away. There’s no need to check records or orders.
3 Medical Condition School Wristbands
Children with food allergies and some medical conditions are always at a greater risk of injury or illness. The time it takes to identify the cause of symptoms can cause serious problems.
Food allergies pose a big risk for children in the lunch room and on school trips. Everyone working in the school is in contact with many children each day. Remembering the details of each child in the school isn’t possible.
Silicone food allergy wristbands clearly state the child’s allergies for teachers and parents, and volunteers. They can see at a glance what foods each child needs to avoid.
Medical wristbands alert them to conditions that might cause symptoms requiring immediate care. These bracelets allow you to write the details directly onto the wristband. It is fast and easy to find when it’s needed.
Wristbands also work well for keeping records of accidents. For example, a child with asthma might need an inhaler. The information on the wristband allows adults to respond more quickly to such needs.
4 Accident Records
Nurses must keep records of all children involved in accidents in school. They can write all reports directly on wristbands. There's room to include the date and time, details about how the accident occurred, and who else was involved. Putting a bracelet on a child at the time prevents any mix-ups. This is discussed in more depth in our school safety identification blog.
5 School Wristbands for Achievement
Achievement/Award wristbands are more fun for kids than paper awards. Smile wristbands bring out the best in children of all ages. Choose a gold, bronze, or silver wristband to mark various levels of achievement. You can use award wristbands several ways. Give them to children who don’t miss any school during a set period. Reward their milestones or give credit for good deeds. Children already love the idea of wearing wristbands to share their interests. They will love them even more when the custom wristbands are delivered as a reward. They’ll work harder to get a special wristband they can wear with pride!
Special events give schools the chance to make students aware of modern issues. Our stock inventory includes wristbands designed for a variety of events. You can also order custom wristbands for your own event or message.

10 Global Hand Washing Day
Each year, there’s a new theme for this global event, focused on the importance of washing hands. This year’s theme is “food hygiene” and the event happens on Tuesday 15thOctober. The idea is to teach the youngest children to wash their hands at least once after going to the toilet. This year’s theme also explains the importance of washing their hands before and after handling food. Printed wristbands can promote their participation. What better reminder to wash their hands than a bright wristband with the message printed clearly on it?
Each new month presents new events, occasions, challenges, and achievements. An upcoming event that every school should consider is National Day of Action Against Bullying and Violence on Friday 15thMarch.

The versatility of printed wristbands make them valuable in a number of ways. Colour coordinating helps keep groups, levels, or grades separate. Bright colours make different students or groups easy to identify. They serve as reminders of important ideas and themes and provide essential information at a glance. Nearly every occasion can benefit from printed wristbands.
