At Steel City, we know that when you’re running an event, you need everything to run smoothly. That includes your wristbands. You need a solution that fastens securely, keeps your brand visible, and stays on until you want it off. Our job is to use our experience to guide you toward the best option for your specific needs, taking any worry out of the order process before it goes to print.
- Material choices that work: We take a consultative approach to help you control entry effectively. We’ll match the band to your event style – Tyvek for fast, effective one-time issue, PVC for a firmer band with a secure lock, or silicone when you want a keepsake that boosts brand exposure long after the event. We make sure the band you choose is fit for purpose.
- Print quality that stands out: When you put your logo on a product, you want it to be perceived as really good quality. That’s why we offer Pantone/colour matching, full-colour print, and deboss with colour infill options. We check everything at the proofing stage – size, contrast, and print areas (e.g., 214×21mm, 55×18mm) – to ensure your artwork is clear, legible, and looks fantastic on the wrist.
- Secure and reliable fastening: Security is often key. We suggest tamper-proof self-adhesive, sequential numbering, or one-time popper stud fastenings because they do the job perfectly, preventing transfers and re-use. This gives you peace of mind that your entry system is working exactly as it should.
- Clear communication on lead times: We know deadlines are crucial. Our lead times are calculated from artwork approval so we can be accurate and back you every step of the way. If you have an urgent event date, we can usually make something work with our 5-day express route, though we’ll always have a conversation about which bands and print methods fit that timeline best.
- Sizing for everyone: We offer both adult and child silicone sizes (e.g., 210×12×2mm adult; 180×12×2mm child) with matched print areas so the product lands well with everyone. This prevents stretching bands onto bigger wrists or having them slide off smaller ones, ensuring a comfortable fit and a great attendee experience from the moment they arrive.
- Long-lasting impact: For silicone bands, we often recommend recessed/debossed branding with colour infill. This keeps your design visible and looking fresh, even after being worn day in, day out. For fabric-style bands, adjustable straps with locking toggles stop the band from loosening, meaning your brand stays on their wrist comfortably for the duration of the event.
- A solution for every brief: We have a solid range of go-to wristbands that we know work brilliantly for most inquiries. However, if your quantity, finish, or deadline requires something different, our team will use our expertise to source the right materials and closures for you. We work to get you the solution you really need, rather than just a “near enough” option.
