Lost your concert ticket at a recent show? Attended a festival, but forgot which pass to use? Even though they are not often recognized, event wristband play a crucial role in keeping chaos organized. It keeps things moving smoothly and looks snazzy.
First, let’s discuss security. The only way you can get into an exclusive VIP room is with a piece of official paper. Like tiny bouncers, wristbands protect your wrist. The wristbands come in a variety of materials: fabric, silicon, plastic. Plastic wristbands are sturdy and waterproof. Ideal for outdoor events or parties. Fabrics offer comfort, but can be reused to create souvenirs. The silicone is soft and flexible, but strong enough to last a long time.
The last time you attended a concert, and were unable to locate friends. Custom wristbands help you identify the members of your team. These wristbands come in several colors or can even have names and messages printed on them. The secret handshake is similar but much cooler.
You can add sponsors’ logos and slogans to these bands. You’re getting free marketing every time someone uploads a picture of their wristband.
Let’s get to the practical end of things: crowd control. Imagine this scenario: You’re in a big outdoor event and there are thousands or people in the crowd. How do I know which people belong where? Different color wristbands are used to denote different types of passes – backstage access, VIP tickets, general admission.
You should also not overlook age verification. The wristband is a common way that bars and nightclubs identify patrons who can drink alcohol. This allows them to avoid constantly having to check IDs. It is quicker for employees and easier for guests.
Then there’s something else! Some high-tech devices are also equipped with RFID chip (Radio Frequency Identification). Cashless payments are possible with these little gems. So no need to search for your wallet or card while you’re juggling snacks, drinks, and other items. Easy as pie! Just tap your bracelet at the stand to make a payment.
Hygiene is also a very hot topic today. If you choose disposable alternatives, the germs will be spread less than using tickets or stamps which are used by everyone.
Do you remember hearing horror stories about how counterfeit tickets can ruin an event? You can also prevent counterfeit tickets from ruining events by using wristbands! Thanks to the unique design of these wristbands and their secure fastenings they’re harder to imitate than paper tickets.
Imagine the scenario. You plan an outdoor event with many activities scheduled throughout the whole day. There’s a ceremony, a reception and games. And you want to ensure that guests can get in without delay or confusion. Colour-coded bracelets are here to help!
Because we care for Mother Earth, many companies are now offering eco-friendly alternatives made with recycled materials or substances that degrade. So you can have a good time without having to feel guilty!
If you have an event coming up, be sure to give the bands credit for their work. You may find they are your go-to band when it’s time to manage crowds.
