Tyvek® wristbands are great for events that require security and crowd control. Each bracelet has a security diecut to prevent tampering and multiple uses. This means patrons won't be able to take off their wristband without cutting it or ruining the adhesive. This helps businesses to keep gate crashers and non-paid entries at a minimum.
Unparalleled Tyvek® Wristband Variety
Wristband Express offers countless size, color, design, and quantity combinations. All of our Tyvek® wristbands come sequentially numbered, with the aforementioned tamper-proof diecut. All Tyvek® bracelets use waterproof inks, making them great for waterparks, fairs, and festivals or attractions where the patron are likely to get them wet or dirty. The adhesive is also guaranteed not to fall off in water. Our bulk paper wristbands come in packs of 500. We also offer customization on our site, but all our Tyvek® wristbands can be written on with permanent markers as well.
Tyvek® Wristband Sizes

There are two different in-stock sizes: 3/4 inch and 1 inch. The 3/4 inch paper wristbands are the most commonly seen event wristbands. They offer great visibility and a decent-sized area for customizing. In terms of quality nd price, they are an economical option. The 1 inch sized Tyvek® bands provide even more visibility and offer a bigger area for customizing than 3/4 inch. The 1 inch Tyvek® bracelets are great for events with small children where identification and visibility are extremely important. Because of the bigger customizable printing area, the 1 inch sized bracelets are perfect for displaying extra text or showing bigger logos and graphics.

Both of these specialized styles can be personalized for your needs.
