If you’re wondering how to design a charity silicone wristband and don’t know where to start, you need to read our article!

Charity silicone wristbands are simple yet effective products that can really give your message a boost, whether you’re promoting an existing cause or working on behalf of a smaller, independent charity.

In our post, we explain why features such as size, colour scheme and logos are all important elements of your design. We also give you some handy tips to help make your silicone bracelets for a cause both eye-catching and unique.

Why choose silicone charity bracelets?

Let’s start by understanding why silicone charity bracelets make a fantastic choice to promote your chosen cause.

Firstly, as a charity, you’ll know how important it is to keep costs down. So, it’s good to know that silicone wristbands are an affordable option if you’re looking for promotional items.

Silicone wristbands for charity are a versatile choice too — you can take your pick of styles, colours and designs to find a look that matches your branding or message.

And Handband’s charity wristbands are fully customisable, so you can produce a design that reflects exactly what you want to say.

Because silicone is a long-lasting material, you’ll find that wristbands made from it last and last. This means that your message will keep on getting noticed, wear after wear!

Finally, silicone is non-toxic, hypoallergenic and comfortable as well. This means that silicone wristbands are suitable for just about anyone, and that includes children, the elderly and people with sensitive skin or even allergies.

So, whether you’re supporting an already-established cause or designing a silicone wristband for your own charity, you’ll find it’s a fun process…so let’s get started!

Colour

One of the first factors you’ll need to think about is what colour your wristbands are going to be. It’s easy to choose a colour to match your chosen charity’s branding — check out our range of single-coloured wristbands.

Or, if you don’t need to stick to one particular colour, then you might like to go for a vibrant multi-coloured design.

And if you’re wondering which colours are associated with certain charities and causes, here’s a list of the most popular matches:

  • Red: AIDS/HIV, heart disease, haemophilia
  • Burgundy: Meningitis, sickle cell anaemia
  • Pink: Breast cancer
  • Yellow: Suicide awareness, endometriosis, spina bifida
  • Orange: Multiple sclerosis, kidney cancer, motorcycle safety
  • Light blue: Men’s health, prostate cancer
  • Blue: Anti-bullying, chronic fatigue syndrome
  • Dark blue: Child abuse, water safety, free speech
  • Teal: Anxiety disorder, cervical cancer, food allergies, ovarian cancer
  • Light green: Coeliac disease
  • Lime green: Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, Lyme disease
  • Green: Cerebral palsy, bipolar disorder, pedestrian safety
  • Purple: International Women’s Day, cystic fibrosis, epilepsy, Crohn’s disease, gynaecological cancer, testicular cancer
  • Periwinkle blue: Irritable bowel syndrome, oesophageal cancer, eating disorders, stomach cancer
  • Gold: Childhood cancer
  • Grey: Asthma
  • Silver: Parkinson’s disease
  • White: Adoption, Holocaust remembrance, osteoporosis, lung cancer

Design

Charity silicone wristbands come in a variety of sizes, thicknesses and designs, so you’ll be sure to find one that suits the look you are aiming for.

If you want to create a classic style, it’s best to opt for a regular-sized wristband.

Want to mix things up a bit? Skinny wristbands offer a contemporary vibe and are popular with younger generations.

Or, you could go to the other extreme and opt for chunky one-inch wristbands to make a bold statement.

You may also want to consider slap bands, which make a fun alternative to the traditional wristband design.

Customisation

Now for your customisation. With Handband’s extensive range of wristbands and other promotional products, you can add a logo or message of your own choosing — they’re completely customisable according to your wishes.

To achieve this, your personalised information is engraved into the wristband’s surface then ink is added to the debossed design.

Choose either the same colour ink as your wristband or a contrasting colour to make your design stand out.

The design is protected, as it’s set below the surface of the wristband. You’ll get an attractive product with a message that lasts and lasts!
