Wristbands for resorts, hotels and events
Depending on how it is specified, a band can open the room, carry a bar tab against the folio, or simply identify a guest to staff. We print it, encode it to the scheme we confirm with you, and ship it ready to issue.
15 constructions, 14 substrates
That one question settles most of the specification. A band for a day guest and a band for a fortnight are different products, and choosing by price rather than by wear period is the most expensive mistake in this category.
Band 03
Access, a bar tab, or guest identification — whichever the band is specified for. Encoded to your confirmed scheme before dispatch.
Band 02
Debossed or screen-printed. Unaffected by chlorine and sun cream, which is what actually ends most bands.
Band 01
Tyvek, tamper-evident, single use. For day passes, festivals and anything that ends the same evening.
Compatibility
You are not replacing your access control. Where a band carries a transponder, it is supplied encoded to the scheme we agree with you, in sequential blocks, so the front desk issues them straight from the box with nothing to program on arrival.
We work at 13.56 MHz across entry, standard and high-security HF transponders, and at 125 kHz where a property still runs a low-frequency estate.
Compatibility is subject to confirmation of your lock system, credential technology and encoding requirements.
Send the make and model of your lock system, and a spare card or band if you have one. If we cannot meet a proprietary or closed system, we will say so before you order.
Manufacturing
Typical production time is 12–21 days by material, counted from artwork and technical approval. Transit is additional and depends on destination and shipping mode.
You describe the property and the wear period. We return one recommendation and the reason for it, usually within a day.
Send a brand guide, a logo, or a photograph of last season’s band. We return a print-ready proof on the real band shape.
For RFID runs we confirm your lock system, credential technology and encoding scheme in writing before quoting.
Typically 12 days paper, 18 silicone, 21 RFID — counted from artwork and technical approval, not from the purchase order.
Boxed in counted blocks with the range marked per carton, so a partial delivery is still usable and auditable.
Artwork and encoding stay on file, so a repeat run skips straight to production.
Where they are used
What changes between these is how long the band stays on, how wet it gets, and whether it has to open anything — and those three answers decide the whole specification.
One band per guest for the length of the stay, issued at check-in and not handled again.
A credential that expires by itself and cannot quietly move to a non-paying wrist.
Zone control on the same credential as the room, so access follows the booking.
14 uses
They buy the end of a queue at the pool gate, a bar tab that does not need a room key, or a defensible record of which adult collected which child. The material follows from the job, which is why these are written up separately from the range.
Use 01
The band that decides who is inside the fence. Usually the first reader a property installs, and the one that pays for itself fastest.
What to specifyUse 02
A bar tab on a wrist. Raises spend per guest, and creates a dispute process you must design before the first drink.
What to specifyUse 03
The band that tells a server what a guest is entitled to, from four metres away, without asking.
What to specifyUse 04
The use with the most stringent requirement in the range, because a lock either accepts the credential or it does not.
What to specifyUse 05
Heat, water and undressed guests. The one environment where the material specification is a safety question.
What to specifyUse 06
Sign-in, sign-out, and the rule that only the adult who dropped a child off can collect them.

Materials & documentation
Tyvek, silicone, woven polyester, coated paper, recycled PET, vinyl and seamless elastic knit form the core material range. Premium wooden RFID faceplates with adjustable cotton cords are specified separately within the RFID line. Each behaves differently against salt water, chlorine and sun cream.
FSC-certified material options available with supporting production documentation.
500 bands per artwork, mixed colours counted as one run. Samples are free for one set per property, and we cover standard shipping to a business address. Additional sets, express shipping and custom-printed samples are quoted separately.
