Paper Wristbands are Tyvek® Wristbands
Tyvek® wristbands provide an economical and secure way to identify customers and patrons across countless types of events. Often referred to as paper wristbands, Tyvek® is a material made exclusively by DuPont™ and is known for its tear-resistant, comfortable, and lightweight feel. Because of those properties, Tyvek® makes an excellent material for wristbands.
The infographic below gives you an at-a-glance look at the features and benefits offered in every first quality Tyvek® wristband.

Why buy Tyvek® bands from Wristband Resources?
Wristband Resources’ Tyvek® wristbands are made with a tamper-proof and non-transferrable adhesive. We use a special die cut on all of our Tyvek® bands which will make them unusable if anyone tries to remove them. This helps prevent guests from trying to swap or sell their bands. Additionally, all bands are sequentially numbered for another layer of protection from illegitimate event-goers or party crashers.
3/4" and 1" Paper Wristbands
Wristband Resources carries 2 different width sizes of Tyvek® bracelets: ¾” and 1”. The ¾” Tyvek® wristbands are the most commonly-used bands. They are sufficient for most events and are even used as hospital wristbands or in medical facilities. They offer a printable area for custom logos, text or graphics. The 1” Tyvek® wristbands offer a bigger printable area to add larger custom logos, text, or graphics. All of our paper wristbands are 10” long, adjustable to fit any wrist. Also, our bulk paper wristbands come in packs of 100 or 500 depending on your preference. All inks and adhesives used on our Tyvek® wristbands are waterproof and high-performing.

Uses for Paper Wristbands
Paper wristbands are best for short-term use, typically 1-2 days. They are often used as admission wristbands for concerts, festivals, water parks, school trips, night clubs, bars, fairs, resorts/hotels, parks, theatres, breweries, tours, wineries, trampoline parks, arcades, go-kart tracks, fun centers, aquariums, sporting events and more! They are also great as security tags. Applying a paper wristband to objects/equipment can communicate the status it's in. Let's say you have equipment that is broken, you could apply a red wristband that has customization saying "out of order" to communicate to all to not use. It's an easy and effective way to communicate important information.
