Printed Fabric Wristbands with Barrel Lock — Tamper-Evident Event Bands
At a glance
Full-colour printed fabric wristbands secured with a one-way barrel lock — tamper-evident and single-use, ideal for paid entry and access control. Numbering, barcoding and UV-weave options. Designed in Sydney since 2004.
Tamper-evident printed fabric wristbands with a barrel lock
These printed fabric wristbands combine full-colour, photo-quality artwork with a one-way barrel lock. The internal prongs pierce the woven polyester to create a tamper-evident seal that cannot be loosened or transferred to another wrist.
Choose the barrel lock for paid-entry, multi-day or security-sensitive events. If you need a band wearers can take off and reuse, choose the non-locking printed fabric wristband.

How does a barrel-lock wristband work?
A one-way barrel lock has internal prongs that pierce the fabric as the band is closed. Once locked it cannot be loosened or slid off, so the band is tamper-evident and single-use; it must be cut to remove, which prevents it being passed to another person.
