Paper wristbands

When people ask for paper wristbands, they usually want a band for a single night that staff can see from a few metres away. What we send is Tyvek. It looks like paper in the hand, but it does not go soggy in the rain, and it tears if someone tries to peel it off and give it to a friend. You can order them from us, or ask for a quote if you would like help with colours and how many you need.

In short

  • The band you want is Tyvek. It looks like paper in the hand, but it is not office paper and it is not a strip you print at home.
  • It sticks on once, and if someone tries to take it off and hand it to a friend, the band rips, so your staff can see it has been tampered with.
  • Rain, sweat, and washing your hands are fine. Swimming is not what this band is for.
  • If you need something for a few days, or a band people keep as a souvenir, that is a different job. Start with event wristbands and we will point you the right way.
  • The price depends on how many you need and whether you print a logo. You can see that when you order, or we can send you a quote.

What you are holding

Paper wristbands got the name because they feel light, they fold, and they look a bit like a strip of heavy paper. The material is Tyvek, which is a tough plastic fibre. Dupont makes it. We cut it into wristbands, add a sticky tab, and print a colour or a logo on it.

That is why they work at the entrance. Ordinary paper would go soft in the rain and peel off in one piece. Tyvek stays readable, and the adhesive is made to destroy the band if someone tries to remove it. For a party, a school social, or a one-night club event, this is the band we recommend.

If you already know the name Tyvek, Tyvek wristbands covers the same band in more detail, including print and how long they last.

How to order

You do not need to know the material name. Tell us what the night looks like, and we will put the order together.

  1. 1

    Tell us the night

    Give us the date and how many people are coming. If guests and staff need different colours, say that as well.

  2. 2

    Choose a colour or a print

    A plain colour is enough for most parties. If you want a logo or a word on the band, send the artwork and we will make sure it prints cleanly.

  3. 3

    Approve the picture

    We send you a picture of the design before anything is printed. You check the colour and the spelling. When you are happy, we print the bands in Melbourne and ship them to you.

Colours and rain

You can mix colours in one order when the design is the same and you are only changing the band colour. That is how a lot of people mark guests in one colour and crew in another. We will show you the colours before we print.

Tyvek is made to get wet. A rainy night, a drink in the hand, and a trip to the bathroom will not ruin the band. If people will be in a pool, tell us when you order and we will talk you through silicone or plastic clip instead.

FAQs

What are paper wristbands called?+
They are Tyvek wristbands. People still say paper because of how they look and feel. If you order paper wristbands from us, Tyvek is what we send.
Are Tyvek wristbands paper?+
They look like paper, but they are a plastic fibre. That is why they survive rain and why they tear instead of peeling off cleanly. Ordinary paper would not do that job.
Where can I buy paper wristbands?+
You can order them from us. We are in Melbourne and we ship across Australia. If you would rather talk through colours and numbers first, ask us for a quote.
How much do paper wristbands cost?+
It depends on how many you need and whether you print a logo. A plain colour for a small party is a different order from a few thousand printed bands for a festival. You will see the price when you order, or we can send you a quote.
