Silicone Wristbands have really become popular in New Zealand as a means for promotions for both businesses and charities. There’s such a variety of finishes, that you can get really creative with them. You can do printed silicone wristbands, you can also deboss or emboss them with the design coming out of the wristband instead of being depressed into it. You can also get multi coloured ones that have different sections in different colours, which are great for sports teams with several colours in their emblem.
The best finish is a debossed silicone wristband. If you get printed ones, the print will come off with time. This is due to silicone being such a difficult material for print to adhere to.
If you get them debossed, your design will last the life of the wristband and at the end of the day you want your promotional message to last as long as possible. If you want to get some contrast you can always opt to get them colour filled. This way they look like they have been printed, but with the debossing it means the ink won’t rub off.
You’ve also got the options to order adult or kids sizes, so it doens’t matter who your promotional campaign is targeted at, as you can have a size that fits everyone.
We have got debossed wristbands for our houses at school. We got our school name debossed into them and then got the bands in our four house colours. They have been fantastic – the kids love wearing them and we can see at a glance which house they are from.
embossed wristbands are a wonderful idea for school use and, many other uses. will be investigating their use in our school as soon as possible.
I agree, we have been using them at our school for about two years now – we use them as a reward system. The kids work up through different coloured bands – they love it and it is a way of them showing pride in their school by wearing their bands.
We sold printed wristbands for our Business Studies project and they were so successful we convinced the School Board to let us sell them for our school ball entrance ID. We raised so much money we helped get a Limo service and pumpin DJ for the after party!
I have just used wristbands for my Business Studies project also – we did an anti-bullying theme and we sold them all. I think the other kids liked the fact that we students had designed the logo as well.
