If you don’t already know what Tyvek wristbands are, take a look at our latest article.

These hard-wearing ID bands have many uses and are a great choice for anyone involved in events and more.

Let’s find out what they are and know more about what they’re good for.

What are Tyvek wristbands made of?

The first thing to know is that Tyvek is a spun polyethylene material that resembles paper but is many times more hard-wearing. As well as being strong, it’s light, water-resistant and tear-proof, making it an ideal substance for long-lasting wristbands.

Tyvek wristbands are light and comfortable to wear and come in a variety of eye-catching colours and designs. They can be customised, too, so they are perfect for anyone looking for a unique design.

They also make the best security wristbands as they are tamper-proof. Bands can only be removed by cutting them with scissors, so it’s not possible to transfer them from one person to another intact. And if you try to unpick the adhesive seal, the material will flake away, making it obvious that they have been interfered with.

Tyvek wristbands are also secure because the adhesive used to seal them will stay stuck for hours, which means they are unlikely to fall off even if the wearer is taking part in physical activities.

What are Tyvek wristbands good for?

You may be surprised to learn about the many different uses of Tyvek wristbands and that they are suitable for various age groups, too — let’s find out more.

Event wristbands

Tyvek wristbands are perhaps best known for their role in events such as festivals, concerts, sporting fixtures and other gatherings where hundreds, if not thousands, of people are involved.

For events, they can show that entry has been paid for and can be colour coded to indicate which areas or activities a guest is entitled to access.

They’re also ideal for confirming that a participant has been vaccinated and displaying their social distancing preferences.

Check out our customised black printed Tyvek wristbands, which are ideal for all types of events. Add your own message, logo and contact details and you have your very own customised wristband to promote your brand or event.

Full colour wristbands are another great option for events where you need a unique and eye-catching design.

Wristbands for school trips

Nothing requires greater organisation than a school trip! Outings off-site can be made secure and hassle-free by giving students their own Tyvek wristbands to wear.

This is an easy way to identify which school or group they belong to if they get separated, particularly if students are not wearing their school uniforms for the trip.

In this case, blank wristbands in different colours are ideal for school trips where a large number of students are involved, to separate them into different groups.

Healthcare wristbands

Tyvek wristbands are essential items in healthcare settings such as hospitals. Because you can write on them, vital information such as a patient’s name, date of birth and other identifying features can be added with ease.

They can also record vital medical information such as allergies or long-term health conditions or even details such as a next-of-kin contact number.

Tyvek wristbands to raise awareness

Another popular use of Tyvek wristbands is to raise awareness of your chosen cause.

Whether you’re taking part in a sponsored event, raising money for charity or marking a health awareness day, your Tyvek wristband can help you achieve your goal.

Choose a plain wristband in the colour that reflects your chosen cause or have it customised with your own message. For example, if you are taking part in a sporting event to raise money for research into a disease like cancer, why not have the details of a loved one who has been affected by it added to your wristband?

Wristbands for water activities

Because Tyvek wristbands are water and chlorine resistant, they make the perfect item to wear at the beach, water park or by the ocean.

If you have young children and are planning on any of these activities, have Tyvek wristbands printed with your mobile number to make a reunion with them easier should you get separated.
