We are recommending you to customize your wristbands to keep them unique by printing your own text on them. If you are using the wristbands on multiple events we are recommending you to print them in different colours for each of event. This way you can prevent entry with counterfeits or previously used wristbands.
Customizable wristbands offer an often unexploited marketing possibility, so why don’t you make the most of your event by adding your own print? Feature your logo, your slogan, your sponsors or anything you want. A lot of guests keep wristbands as memories, so make sure you will be remembered. If you need further advice on customizing your wristbands contact us or read our blog.
All custom designs are proofed for you free of charge and all designs will require your confirmation before production.

If you wish to print your own design or logo to be printed onto your wristbands, please take this into account:
We can print any colour onto the white surface of the Tyvek wristband (even two, easily separable, not covering each-other) using screen printing, knowing its limitations (only vectorized (lineal) graphics and text can be printed with these direct colours).
We do not print with pantone colours on these types of wristbands!
The elongation of the raw material due to precise matching of raster images, printing is unfortunately not possible.
We only accept vector images (.ai, .eps, .cdr) that will give 100% black fill, which figure pixel images (.jpg, .gif, .tif, .psd, etc.) may not contain.
Make sure that the letters are converted to curves, do not contain fonts and avoid the use of block letters!
The smallest font size is 8 points.
Lines, thinner than 1 mm may not be clearly visible on the wristbands.
The graphics should be sent to info@wristbands24.co.uk with the required quantities and colours or send the order number too, if you already have this information. Please send the Invoicing -, and delivery address, and phone number for in case to reach you quickly.
We are charging a set-up fee for the printing of wristbands! The set-up fee is per each design (for example: if one design says „FRIDAY PARTY” and the other design is: „SATURDAY PARTY” two set-up fees will be charged).
Multiple types of wristbands with the same text will also be charged multiple set-up fees (for example: the text says „FRIDAY PARTY” and you wish to print this onto Plastic and Tyvek too, you will be charged two set-up fees again, because of the different type of materials).
The artwork will be sent in Black & White colours because of technical reasons. The wristbands will be produced in your selected colours with the selected print colour. If you do not mark any print colour we will print dark wristbands with white and bright wristbands with black ink. Artwork(s) must be approved prior to manufacture.
