In short
- People say fabric or cloth. What we send is woven wristbands. It is the same thing.
- They sit on the wrist for a few days. People shower in them, sleep in them, and often keep them after the event.
- A sliding lock holds the band so it cannot come off over the hand. This is not the tear-off band we use for a single night.
- If the night is a party or a school social, Tyvek is usually enough.
- The price depends on how many you need and whether we put a logo on the cloth. You can see that when you order, or we can send you a quote.
Fabric, cloth, woven
People say fabric, cloth, or woven, and they mean the same band. It is a soft cloth strap with a lock that slides. We call it woven, and that is what we send. It is the same thing.
You can have a logo, a word, or a full colour graphic put on the cloth. Send the artwork and we will make a picture of it for you to approve before we make the real bands. There is a recycled cloth if you want that, so mention it when you order.
How they stay on
The cloth goes around the wrist. The lock is what stops someone taking it off and handing it to a friend.

Put it on when they arrive
Someone slides the band onto the wrist as people arrive, then pushes the lock up so the loop is too small to come off over the hand. The lock means the band cannot be tampered with.

Leave it on for the days of the event
People keep the band on through rain, showers, and sleep. The cloth stays comfortable, and staff can still see the colour or the design.

Keep it, or cut it off
When they go home they can cut the band off, or they keep wearing it. That is why people order fabric for a festival or a camp, and not only for the night.
If it is only one night
A fabric band is more than you need for a birthday in a backyard. For that job, Tyvek sticks on once and tears if someone tries to pass it on.
Use fabric when the event runs over a few days, or when you want people to keep the band. If you only need the band to stay on until they leave, and you do not care if they keep it, plastic clip wristbands use a clip that breaks the band if it is forced off.
If you are still choosing between types, start with event wristbands and we will talk you through the date and how many people are coming.
