Quick answer
Universities and TAFEs running an open day often use custom colour wristbands to sort prospective students into tour groups, making a busy campus day easier to navigate for both visitors and staff.
An open day brings hundreds of prospective students and their families onto campus at once, and a wristband is a simple way to keep tour groups organised.
Why use wristbands at university open days
A wristband makes it easy for staff to identify which tour group or session a visitor belongs to, helping a busy open day run more smoothly.
Managing campus tour groups with colour wristbands
Assigning a colour per tour time, faculty or campus zone helps large groups of prospective students move through the day without confusion.
