Party wristbands

You put party wristbands on as people arrive, so you can tell who is meant to be there in a crowded backyard or a hired hall. Most parties in Australia use Tyvek, which sticks on once and comes in a bright colour. We print them in Melbourne, and we can turn them around quickly when the date is close. You can order them from us, or ask for a quote if you would like help choosing colours.

In short

Most parties use Tyvek. You put one colour on the guests and a different colour on the people helping you run the night.
They stick on once. If someone tries to peel one off and give it to a friend, the band tears.
You can add a word, a date, or a small logo. We send you a picture to approve before we print.
If this is a festival or a few days rather than a party, start with event wristbands instead.
The price depends on how many you need and whether you print on them. You can see that when you order, or we can send you a quote.

What they do at a party

You put a band on each person as they arrive. After that, you can see who belongs without checking a phone. A second colour on the people helping you makes them easy to find once the backyard or the hall fills up.

Birthdays, hen parties, Christmas parties, and school socials all use the same kind of band. The night is short and drinks get spilled, and Tyvek holds up to that.

Colours and names

You decide what the colours mean. Pink for the hen and black for everyone else, or yellow for year seven and blue for year eight. We will mix those colours in one order when the design is the same.

If you want the date, a name, or a small logo on the band, send it through and we will print it. Tell us what you want them to say, we send a picture, and you check the spelling before anything is printed.

You can write a name on the band with a marker if you need to at the last minute.

If the date is soon

A lot of party orders come in close to the date. Call us with the date and how many people are coming, and we will tell you what we can still print in time. Pickup from our Melbourne office is possible if you are local and in a hurry.

If the party is weeks away, order when you know the numbers. We would rather print once than guess and then add a second lot. If the numbers change, tell us as soon as you can.

FAQs

Where can I buy party wristbands?+

You can order them from us. We ship across Australia from Melbourne. If you would like us to suggest colours for a birthday or a hen party, ask for a quote and tell us the date.

Where can I find custom event wristbands?+

Send us the word or the logo you want on the band and we will print it. For a one-night party it will still be Tyvek. If the event runs longer than a party, start with event wristbands.

Can I design my own wristbands online?+

Tell us what you want on the band, we make a picture of it, and you approve that picture before we print. If you already have artwork, send the file and we will check it is ready.

How much do custom wristbands cost?+

It depends on how many you need and whether we print a logo. A few dozen plain colours for a backyard birthday is a different order from a few hundred printed bands. You will see the price when you order, or we can send you a quote.

What do the different colours of wristbands mean?+

You decide. One colour for guests and another for the people helping you is enough for most parties. Tell whoever is greeting people the rule, and we will print the colours you picked.
