What to print on your OSHC contact wristbands

Most after-school program wristbands carry the service name, the OSHC supervisor mobile number and a colour code for the day, age group or allergy alert. We can also print emergency-contact numbers, allergy warnings (e.g. "nut allergy") or simple pickup colours so casual staff can read the band instantly. Send us your logo and copy — we handle the rest.
