Key Features of Our RFID Wristbands

These wristbands are widely adopted across different industries for their versatility, security, and convenience.

Fast Access Control for Events

Streamline your check-in process with RFID wristbands that provide secure, contactless entry. RFID wristbands are scanned by specialized scanners at entry points to verify access permissions. Ideal for high-traffic venues and VIP areas, our RFID technology helps eliminate bottlenecks and enhances your event security with encrypted access.

Guest Tracking & Real-Time Event Analytics

Understand how your attendees interact with your venue using passive or active RFID tags. Each wristband can be scanned to collect details such as location, time, and activity. From queue times to heat maps, you’ll gather powerful data that helps improve future events and optimize your layout in real time.

Durable & Versatile Wristband Materials

Choose from silicone, vinyl, Tyvek®, cloth, or plastic options depending on your needs. Whether you require waterproof, reusable, or one-time-use RFID bracelets, we have a style for every application.

Cashless Payments with RFID Wristbands

Let your guests buy food, drinks, or merchandise with a simple tap. Our RFID wristband system turns each band into a secure digital wallet, reducing cash handling and speeding up service—perfect for festivals, water parks, and popular attractions. Guests can link their digital wallets to their wristbands for seamless, contactless transactions.

Boost Branding with Custom Designs

Customize your RFID wristbands with logos, colours, and messaging that reflect your brand. Whether you want printed plastic wristbands or woven cloth bands, we offer full creative freedom without compromising functionality.

Industry-Leading Full-Color Printing (Free!)

Unlike most competitors, we offer complimentary full-color, high-resolution printing on all RFID wristbands. From intricate digital artwork to QR codes and barcodes, we reproduce your exact file with stunning accuracy—without the outrageous fees others charge. When a wristband is scanned, details like product name and price can be retrieved from the database.

What Are RFID Wristbands?

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) wristbands use embedded RFID tags—tiny microchips equipped with antennas—to wirelessly transmit information to a scanner. Unlike QR codes or barcodes, RFID tags don’t need line-of-sight and can function through fabric, plastic, or vinyl.

 

RFID badges are another popular form factor for access control at events, offering similar benefits in a different wearable style.

There are three main types of RFID wristband chips:

  • Passive tags (most common): no battery required, activated by the reader.
  • Active tags: battery-powered, ideal for longer range or real-time tracking.
  • Battery-assisted passive tags: a hybrid offering improved performance.

For example, an event organizer might use passive RFID wristbands to grant attendees access to different zones, while an instance of active tags could enable real-time tracking of VIP guests or facilitate cashless payments at concession stands.

 

Each band stores unique data, including personal information such as name and address, making RFID wristbands an ideal choice for identity verification, access control, event analytics, and seamless guest experiences.

What types of wristband materials do you offer?

We offer three main types of wristbands — Tyvek®, Plastic, and Cloth — each designed to suit different event durations and budgets.

  • Tyvek® Wristbands are made from a durable, paper-like material ideal for single-day or short-term 
          events such as concerts, school functions, or festivals. They’re cost-effective, waterproof, and tear-       resistant.
     
  • Plastic Wristbands are designed for multi-day events and are both waterproof and tamper-
          resistant, making them great for venues, amusement parks, and resorts.
     
  • Cloth Wristbands (woven or satin) are the most comfortable and durable, perfect for multi-day or    
          VIP events. They can also serve as memorable keepsakes or souvenirs after the event.
