Why Are Vinyl Wristbands So Popular Today?

By Paul Sung

Among the world of parties, parties and more parties, it might surprise you to learn that simple things such as vinyl wristbands have a prominent place. In fact, it is not only at parties that you will find these brightly coloured wristbands. If you dare to look closer, you will be able to find these types of wristbands and more besides at events such as concerts and fundraisers. These wristbands are used for a number of purposes, one of these being as a primary means of visual identification.

This need for visual identification can be for just about anything, from age related purposes; to identifying those who are of a legal age to be served alcohol; to crowd control purposes, so that security teams can identify at a glance who is allowed to be on the premises; to being used as a means to identify special guests. Vinyl wristbands can be used for all of these purposes and more.

They have become as popular as their silicone counterparts and these days it is not unusual to see people sporting wristbands made from vinyl as well as silicone, plastic and paper (Tyvek). The truth of the matter is that people need change and these are a good way to give this. Standard silicone wristbands have become so common place that wearing vinyl versions of these wristbands can give the wearer an added sense of pride.

Along with the usual customisability for these wristbands to be printed on with your own particular message or logo, they can also come in patterns or designs of your choosing, or simply be one solid colour giving you the option to choose custom designed wristbands to suit your needs. What truly makes these wristbands different from silicone wristbands however, is the metal snap closure on them. Not only does this method of closure make vinyl wristbands more appealing in an aesthetic sense, it also allows the wristband to be worn more than once if desired.

Of course, for admission control purposes (such as at large events like concerts) it is not suitable to have wristbands that can be worn multiple times. It is for this reason that some people turn to paper wristbands. The simple truth of the matter however, is that the vinyl version of these is also offered in the single-use category, making them ideal for use at such events just as much as the paper wristbands. (This is accomplished by the means of a single-use snap that locks into place and cannot be removed easily - thereby making it tamper proof.)

Vinyl wristbands also come with the option for the bands to be numbered allowing for easier management of them to be kept track of. Another favourable point for these wristbands is that they are very definitely waterproof, as well as being durable and lightweight, making it comfortable to wear as well.

They can be put into any manner of situations, and the wearer can be assured that their wristband will come out unscathed, making these wristbands one of the better choices all around for security control, crowd control, identifying underage persons, and so on. The list of what can be done with vinyl wristbands is endless and the only limit is your imagination.
