In this day and age where socialising on a large scale (concerts, football games etc.), is pretty much the norm, it can become difficult for those in charge of organising these events to keep tabs on everything. And it can be an especially difficult task with little things like gate crashers and underage drinkers to think about - little things that can sometimes lead to big problems. This is where security wristbands can come in handy. With so many other problems to sort out and deal with, having your back covered at least in one aspect can help to get the organisation of these things under control.
What are wristbands for security though, and how can they help? Well, to make it easier to understand, just bring to mind one of the numerous silicone wristbands so popular these days (such as the famous yellow LiveStrong wristband). Next, replace the silicone band with paper instead, and you will have a rough idea of what these wristbands are like.
However, and this is where the major differences begin, these 'paper' wristbands are not really made of paper, but are instead made of a blend of paper, fibre and fabric. With this method of making paper wristbands (also known as Tyvek wristbands) a number of advantages come to life.
One of these being, that these security wristbands are only single-use wristbands. This is due to the fact that the wristbands are made of paper and can only be fastened onto a person's wrist once. (To wear a wristband all one has to do is peel away the tab covering the adhesive backing, wrap the wristband around the wrist and securely fasten it against the adhesive.) In order to remove the wristband it must be either cut away or torn away thus defacing the wristband. This in turn makes it difficult for these wristbands to be used by multiple people for any single event.
Another advantage of these security wristbands lays in the fact that they can also have a high-security foil on them. This foil can only be seen when using an Ultra Violet light projecting torch or machine, and is a great method for ensuring that no one tries to use an unauthorized wristband. This is an ideal situation especially if you want to prevent underage alcohol consumption in your establishment, event or function. By tagging underage persons with a security foil wristband, it is entirely possible to catch those trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the establishment.
One of the greater advantages of these security wristbands however, comes in the form of its very competitive price tag. Not only are these paper wristbands inexpensive, but if you do not have the time to spend agonising over what design or pattern to have on your wristbands, or whether you want your own logo or message printed on the wristbands you can also order them pre-printed in a variety of colours, and also with or without text or graphics on them. And best of all, you can even get wristbands that have the words 'Underage' or 'Over 21' printed on them to make life easier all around.
Using security wristbands is not only a sound economical decision, it is also a smart organisational move and can help to deal with crowd control issues among other things. Using these wristbands can help to alleviate the pressure of having any event or function run smoothly. After all, one less thing for you to worry about gives you more time to concentrate on other issues!
