Tyvek® (Paper) Wristbands Resource

Tyvek® wristbands are most commonly referred to as paper wristbands given the similar look and feel of the material. But Tyvek® is a nonwoven textile that unlike paper is extremely resilient, water/tear/puncture-resistant, and nearly indestructible. Completely customizable, Tyvek® bracelets may be outfitted with specific messaging, graphics, logos, QR/barcodes, and special numbering. This in turn makes counterfeiting and duplication near impossible, further solidifying Tyvek® bands as ideal identification solutions for event security, crowd control, age verification, and more. Tyvek® (paper) wristbands may seem fairly simple and straightforward, but such a beneficial product has many facets and advantages that our customers want additional insight into. Read on to discover more about this style and why it remains an all-time favorite!
