Although it may be nontraditional using silicone wristbands and rubber bracelets to raise funds, it has been proven to one of the most effective fundraising methods out there for a few reasons.

First and foremost selling custom rubber bracelets and silicone wristbands allows for a much higher profit margin than a traditional box of candy, popcorn, or wrapping paper resulting in more revenue for the cause you are raising funds for.

Another reason to use wristbands to fund raise would be because you are able to give the person donating funds to your cause something they can wear that shows they support a cause. Another plus is wristband is a good that will not go bad or get used up and they can wear it forever which in return will spread your logo or message to new places.

ordering silicone wristbands and rubber bracelets with no minimum

2012-01-18T09:38:00.000-06:00

Have you ever needed just one or two wristbands but cannot find a place that will produce less than 100 at a time? As a consumer this can be a little disheartening and turn you to another misleading website. But look no further at wristbands.net you can order silicone wristbands with no minimum. These are two of the most popular styles of wristbands we have to offer at wristbands.net the standard lasermade wristband and the color coated wristband.

These wristbands are produced using a laser engraver that engraves your message on to your rubber bracelets allowing your message to be seen from all over. The standard lasermade wristbands are similar to the yellow live strong wristbands made popular by lance armstrong and his LIVESTRONG campaign. The wristband and message are the same color with the standard lasermade wristbands, and are great for promotional giveaways, fundraisers, and awareness campaigns.

If you are looking for a wristband you can still order with no minimum but has a colored text look into our color coated wristbands. These rubber bracelets are coated with a different color from the core of the wristband allowing you see a different color text . These too are also great for promotional giveaways, awareness campaigns, and fundraisers.

The last two popular laser made products we produce here at wristbands.net are glow in the dark wristbands and uv sensitive wristbands. Our glow in the dark wristbands are available in lime green aqua blue, and white. These are great because even in the dark your message will shine! Our uv sensitve wristbands are cool because they start off as a clear color and when exposed to the suns uv rays the wristband will turn a violet color. These are great for the summer and offer a friendly reminder to keep sunscreen applied throughout the day. These have been made popular by skin cancer foundations, skin care companies, and summer camps as a reminder to take care of your skin.

Whats great is all these varieties of wristbands can be produced one by one with out any minimum quantity. Another plus is the manufacturing process is much shorter and we offer a rush production on all lasermade products. Our lasermade wristbands are the most cost effective bands we have to offer at wristbands.net.

Guide to Buying Custom Wristbands and Rubber Bracelets

2012-01-16T14:45:00.001-06:00

Have you ever found yourself online trying to order custom wristbands, and wondering what the difference is between the various types of wristbands? If you have ordered wristbands online then you know that there are lots of different types of wristbands all with different terminology associated with them.

At Wristbands.net we have over 20 different styles of wristbands available for purchase all of which can be completely customized to your liking on our wristband creator.

Lasermade Wristbands

The First style we'll talk about is our standard lasermade wristbands- The great thing about these wristbands is that there is no minimum order, you can order 1, 5, 30, or a 1,000. The quantity is entirely up to you. The lasermade wristband is produced by a laser engraving the message into the band. These are great for small quantity or time sensitive orders. You can purchase these wristbands in solid, segmented, or swirled colors and rush orders are available.

Next we have our lasermade color coated wristbands. This is an upgraded version of our lasermade wristbands. The outside of this wristband is coated with a silicone based paint that is different than the inside of the band and allows for your wristband to have a message in different color text. With this model of wristband there is no minimum order and rush orders are available.

Also in our line of lasermade wristbands would be our glow in the dark wristbands. This is another way to make your lasermade wristbands stand out. Once again there is no minimum order and rush orders are available.

Last but not least in the lasermade style we also offer UV sensitive wristbands. These wristbands are cool because they are clear/white and when they are exposed to the suns ultra violet rays they turn violet. These wristbands have been made popular by skin cancer awareness campaigns, skin care companies promoting their brand, and summer camps who give them t their kids as a reminder to keep sunscreen on throughout the hot summer days. Laser made UV sensitive wristbands are cool because not only are they useful there is no minimum ordered required and rush orders are available.

In the Debossed style you can also order UV sensitive wristbands, glow in the dark wristbands, and also color filled.

Color Filled Wristbands are the number one seller here at wristbands.net it is a debossed wristband where your text on the wristband is filled with a silicone paint. The color filled text allows for your message to jump off the wristband. With the color filled wristband comes 100 piece minimum order but you also get the best looking bands.

If you are looking for something similar to the color filled band but with less cost associated you should check out our custom color coated silicone wristbands.

Another great option for highligting your logo would be our watch style wristbands. These rubber bracelets provide a unique shape that stands out from standard band styles. The circular area is a great place to showoff your logo, while the sides of the wristband can be used to show off your custom message.

Rubber Awareness Bracelets in Braille

2010-08-18T11:38:00.004-05:00

Custom Silicone Wristband in Braille

Regularly we are asked to create wristbands for a special event or someone battling a disease. Loved ones contact us for bracelets honoring battles with cancer or simply to honor the memory of one’s passing. We are privileged to manufacture and be a part of these. It is our way of remembering our blessings and reminding us what is important in life.

Wristbands.net is proud to announce custom silicone wristbands in Braille text for the visually impaired. Using our embossed technique, we are able to create unique message for clients with visual impairments. Embossing allows message text to be raised above the surface of the bracelets.

Silicone wristbands have always been synonymous with building awareness. You can just look around and see this with the popularity of the yellow LIVESTRONG wristband and the pink breast cancer awareness bracelets. It never ceases to amaze us how many wristbands you see every day. Each wristband, whether yellow, pink, or lavender has a special meaning to its owner. Whether it’s to commemorate an achievement or honor a memory.

Wristband colors bring powerful messages. Yellow is synonymous with Lance Armstrong and his cancer awareness group, and pink is for breast cancer. But orange, purple, red and countless more symbolize and spread awareness too. We have decided to list a few awareness wristband colors for you to not only highlight the cause, but clarify meaning. A complete list may be found on Wristbands.net Uses/Ideas page as well.

Let others know you support a cause. Show your support and start building awareness in others; whatever color it may be and now in the Braille alphabet!

Swirled and Segmented Silicone Wristbands: How Its Done!

2010-05-19T11:08:00.005-05:00

How are swirled and segmented wristbands produced? Well, here it is!

As you know we begin our entire silicone wristband bracelets with 100% latex free silicone material. To make the swirl effect, we begin with raw silicone material. Raw silicone for wristband manufacturing is pliable; it is similar to a taffy consistency. Color is added based on the order’s specifications. Once this is complete, then we roll out the colors in strands. We twist or intertwine the colors together like a candy cane. We twist and fold over the strand several times. Once we have achieved the swirl wristband effect, the silicone is rolled out into a sheet, heated to 200C degrees and pressed into the mold. Up to 4 colors may be swirled together. You may choose from our stock colors or contact us for a variation custom to you and your wristbands!

A mold is the steel die we have created for your custom message. The swirled silicone sheet is then placed onto it. Using 10,000psi, the message is stamped or imprinted into the wristband. Molds may be single units or made in larger trays to manufacture large quantities. Once you have purchased a mold from Wristbands.net with your custom logo or message in a debossed or embossed order, it is yours to keep. Molds may manufacture over 1,000,000 wristbands before they deteriorate and must be recast.

Segmented wristbands are manufactured with the same base process. Rather than twisting the colors together, the silicone colors are placed side by side. The silicone roll is then heated, rolled into a sheet and placed into the mold. You may select 2 segmented wristbands from our stock colors as well as segment up to 6 colors of your choice creating your own, unique look. For more colors, please contact us directly.

Did you know wristbands.net is the only company that provides a virtual proof for every order large or small? While you can preview the wristband on our website, we also send you a virtual rendering with each order to ensure accuracy. Little details are often overlooked and we simply want you to be satisfied with your purchase. It’s an extra step we take to make your order is exactly as you want it!

For more information on silicone wristbands or any of our wristband products, please feel free to give us a call at 1-800-433-1758!

Choosing the Right Font for Wristbands

2010-05-18T11:31:00.003-05:00

Your message and reason for the custom silicone wristband your wear is unique to you. It may serve as a reminder for thanks, a memory of a love lost or simply to raise awareness. The font chosen to write your message is almost as import as the color choice.

Fonts offered by wristbands.net are numerous. Some look better than others on certain wristband styles and choosing a font for your message can be overwhelming. You may select a bold font or something less traditional and fun. Either way, the selection is important as your cause, message and reason is significant.

Wristbands.net would like to take the time to help with font selection. Often we are asked “What looks best”? Here are some simple suggestions for some of our different styles.

For traditional, solid, debossed wristbands, any font on our selection page is appropriate. However, when swirled bands are ordered, font selection is more important. Swirled wristbands are 2 color of silicone mixed or swirled together. Segmented wristbands are two silicone colors, adjacent or side by side each other.

Because of the nature of the swirl wristbands, a bold font selection is necessary so the message is legible. Such fonts include but are not limited to, IMPACT, Arial Black, Andy Bold, or Verdana. The fonts are bold and appear well against the swirled wristbands.

By contrast, fonts such as Papyrus, beach type or Script are not good selections because they are very ornate and thin. Given the 2 color swirl, these fonts do not appear well on the wristbands in a debossed or laser made style. The solution to this is to color fill the message text on the wristbands.

We offer many fonts on our website for you to choose from however, if you do not see the “perfect” one, let us know and we will add it for you! In addition, if you have a custom logo or typescript, we are able to print that as well.

If you are still uncertain of the perfect font selection for your unique message, please contact us! We are happy to guide you through the process!

Screen Printed Silicone Wristbands

2010-05-17T15:47:00.003-05:00

What is the difference between Screen Printed, Color Coated and Color Filled wristbands? We are often asked this and will clarify it for you today!
Screen printed wristbands or ink jet bracelets are silicone wristbands with the message printed on top of the bracelet. Similar to a screen printed t-shirt, the message is printed onto the wristband in a similar technique to a printer printing on a sheet of paper. The bracelets are loaded on to a form and printed on using a silicone based ink. Screen printing provides a greater thickness in ink.

Color coated wristbands are 2 layers of color one on top of the other. The top layer is silicone paint and the bottom is the silicone wristband. When the message is engraved or debossed using a laser, the top layer is removed where your text or images is, revealing the bottom layer or color.

Color coated bracelets allows you a cost effective option to the color filled style however it has its draw backs. While color coated wristbands are easy to read and make a big impression, this type band was created for promotional use and occasional wear. Over time, the outer layer will wear or fade; this process occurs quicker with daily wear.

Color filled wristbands however are very different. Debossed, color filled wristbands are manufactured with a molding technique. A steel mold is cast with your custom message or logo. Once this process is complete, silicone is simply pressed into the mold and using 10,000lbs of pressure the message is stamped or imprinted into the silicone. Color filling adds an alternate color to the message text. The wristbands are manufactured by either mold or laser, and then re-stretched. Each portion of text or logo is individually filled with an alternate color and baked. This is very tedious and a unique art form. The baking process sets the silicone ink used to fill the custom message bonding it to the silicone wristband. Color filling is a unique feature and will not fade or chip and will withstand the test of time.

If you are still uncertain of the difference, please feel free to contact us at 1-800-433-1758. We will be glad to further explain it to you!

Breast Cancer Silicone Awareness Rings

2010-05-07T10:26:00.002-05:00

Silicone wristbands are a popular item and the chief silicone style offer by wristbands.net but did you know we stock breast cancer awareness rings?

A well know morning television hostess popularized this ring on her morning show 3 years ago after her diagnosis and survival. Since then, the request for these in single units boomed with calls inquiring where they could be purchased. As a result, wristbands.net decided to help meet the demand and offer them in single or bulk units. We are proud to say the sale of each ring benefits the Susan G. Komen Foundation. We use eBay's Giving Works program with MissionFish to make our donations.

These silicone rings are individually packaged for ease of distribution. They are pink with a simple, color filled pink ribbon in the center as you see in our blog’s image. These custom silicone rings are available in a woman’s size 7. These do stretch as silicone is pliable. As all of our custom silicone wristbands, they are 100% latex free.

These are available through eBay or by calling us at 1-800-433-1758 at this time. You may choose to order custom rings for your awareness campaigns by contacting us directly as these rings are not yet available for ordering online.

Glow in the Dark Silicone Wristbands

2010-05-06T11:53:00.004-05:00

Glow in the dark wristbands are HERE! It has taken us some time to bring these back out to you but here they are!

Wristbands.net has always carried these types of bracelets, but since they did not meet our standards, we removed them from our inventory until we were certain they would be good enough for our clients. Our chief issue was the glow factor. We seemed to have had a problem with the longevity and intensity of the wristband glow and were simply not happy with the product. As you know, we quality control all of our items to ensure you are nothing but happy with your product and provide only the best!

Our glow in the dark wristbands is offered in 3 colors. Glow blue, glow green and white. Glow blue is the image you see in this blog. Glow green glows a lime green color while white glow will the traditional glow in the dark color. If you are familiar with the pantone color chart, the color number associated with these is as follows:

Glow Blue 638C
Glow Green 376C
Traditional white* 331C

We know you are wondering how we came across the resolution to our little problem. It was simple. We added more glow powder to our wristbands to intensify the glow and longevity. The wristbands begin with 100% latex free silicone. The glow powder used to achieve the glow in the dark effect is derived from a natural mineral called Sphalerite. This mineral is crushed into a powder form and mixed into the silicone prior to customizing. Wristbands.net uses only natural minerals in all of our products.

To get the “glow” effect, these bracelets must be “charged” with light. Similar to our ultraviolet sensitive wristbands, you must expose these wristbands to a light source. These can be any of the following:

White LED Light
Incandescent Light (your standard light bulb)
Black Light
Sunlight

Glow in the dark wristbands may be debossed, embossed, color filled and screen printed and are PEFRECT for spooky Halloween evenst and celebrations! For more information, please contact us! We’re here to help!
*Traditional white glow bands appear opaque. The color indicated above is the glow color.

UV Protection and UV Detection

2010-04-30T13:37:00.003-05:00

As we close out April we want to remind our readers May is Melanoma/Skin Cancer Detection and Prevention month.

Since summertime is fast approaching, we at wristbands.net want to take the time to remind you to protect yourself from the sun with some helpful recommendations from the American Academy of Dermatology and a fun reminder of our ultraviolet sensitive wristbands!

Generously apply a broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 30 or more to all exposed skin. “Broad-spectrum” provides protection from both ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) rays. Reapply approximately every two hours, even on cloudy days, and after swimming or sweating.

Wear protective clothing, such as a long-sleeved shirt, pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and sunglasses, where possible.

Seek shade when appropriate. Remember that the sun's rays are strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. If your shadow appears to be shorter than you are, seek shade.

Protect children from sun exposure. Be sure to play in the shade, use protective clothing, and apply sunscreen.

Use extra caution near water, snow, and sand because they reflect and intensify the damaging rays of the sun, which can increase your chances of sunburn.

Avoid tanning beds. Ultraviolet light from the sun and tanning beds can cause skin cancer and wrinkling. If you want to look like you've been in the sun, consider using a sunless self-tanning product, but continue to use sunscreen with it.

Our ultraviolet sensitive wristbands are a helpful reminder when UV rays are at their peak. The color change from beige to deep purple is a clear indicator to seek shade or enjoy to indoor activity! These wristbands are also a perfect way to promote skin care products such as sunscreens. One of our wonderful clients shares his message with SUNWISE – SUNSAFE on his ultraviolet wristband.

As always, please visit us online at Wristbands.net or contact us at 1-800-433-1758 for more information! Here’s to some summer fun!

Stack It Up: Custom Layered Silicone Wristbands

2010-04-29T11:13:00.001-05:00

The layered look is back! Wristbands.net has brought the stacked, custom silicone wristbands back by popular demand! These custom silicone wristbands allow you to choose multiple colors and “stack” them one on top of another.

As you know we offer the color coated silicone wristbands. Color coated wristbands are 2 layers of color; one on top of the other, horizontally. The top layer is silicone paint while the bottom is the silicone wristband. When messages are engraved, the bottom layer of color appears as the message text. This is our cost effective alternative to our color filled wristbands.

Stacked wristbands are multiple colors of silicone stacked one on top of the other; vertically. You are able to select up to 6 colors of silicone to stack. When six layers are loaded and bonded, the result is a 1” wide wristband! Screen printing to further customize these bracelets are the most popular technique if messages are to be printed on these, but we have found our clients prefer to just leave them blank!

Clients have ordered these custom wristbands for some interesting applications! Flag colors representing sports teams, multiple awareness colors and pride! Promote your school spirit with stacked school colors, award core values and asset development! The possibilities have been endless!

To order custom stacked wristbands, visit Wristbands.net or simply contact us at 1-800-433-1758!

Embossed Wristbands Truly RAISE Awareness

2010-04-26T10:35:00.002-05:00

There is often a lot of confusion between debossed wristbands and embossed wristbands at wristbands.net. To clarify, this blog will focus on the differences.

Debossed wristbands are the most recognized and ordered wristbands offered by wristbands.net. It is where the message is “sunken in” or imprinted in the wristbands. All of our wristband styles may be ordered as debossed wristbands including USB flash drives.

Embossed wristbands are where the text, logo and messages are raised above the surface of the wristbands. We use the same molding technique to create these as debossed wristbands. The difference is the mold is created with negative space. When the silicone is pressed into the mold, the impression is reversed and raised.

Like color filled debossed wristbands, embossed wristbands may have an alternate colored message. The message is cast in a mold in an alternate color. Once set, the message is transferred to the wristband and adhered to the wristband with silicone glue. The affect is a solid colored wristband with a separate, colored, raised message.

Embossed wristbands are unique indeed! These are often used for the visually impaired as the unique message can be raised in the braille alphabet. With this awareness, causes and any unique message can be spread to EVERYONE! There are truly no limits to your receiver!

Start raising awareness with RAISED embossed wristbands today! Please feel free to contact us with any comments, questions or concerns!

Bye Bye Bugs: Custom Citronella Mosquito Repellent Wristbands

2010-04-23T10:29:00.003-05:00

Here comes SUMMER! BBQ’s, poolside gatherings and outdoor fun bring smiles as well as pesky mosquitoes. Wristbands.net now offers a safe, natural solution to those uninvited guests!

New for 2010 are Citronella Mosquito Repellent Wristbands. These are a safe, natural and effective alternative to harmful DEET products. As all of our wristbands, mosquito repellent wristbands are 100% latex free. Natural citronella oil acts as the repellent keeping mosquitoes and flying insects away for up to 6 hours!

How does it work? The bracelet contains a small, specially designed compartment on the top of it. Within this reservoir is a small sponge. Citronella oil is placed onto the sponge and the compartment is sealed with a silicone adhesive. To release the citronella oil repellent, simply puncture one of 5 small holes on the top of the wristband. We have created the 5 marks to puncture so you may regulate the effectiveness of the repellent.

Citronella oil has a pleasant odor. There is no need to reapply traditional spray products that wear off after perspiration, leave a sticky “film” or carry bottles of products around. It protects against yellow fever, ozone safe and is the most popular natural insect repellent all in a stylish bracelet!

Our mosquito repellent wristbands come in thousands of colors and as always, can be customized with your custom logo and message. We do offer these in limited stock for a single unit purchase!*

Citronella mosquito repellent wristbands are perfect for family reunions, outdoor camping trips and activities! To learn more about this and our other precuts, please visit us at https://www.wristbands.net/!

2010-04-22T08:32:00.001-05:00

Did you know wristbands.net can custom create any size you wish? By any size, we also mean circumference, or size, and height!

Traditional silicone wristbands are generally seen in one height size which in our terms is 12mm or ½ inch. Wristbands.net can create height sizes from ½ inch to 1 inch or larger.

Our standard wristbands are sized as small, 7 inches in circumference, medium, 7.5 inches in circumference and large, 8 inches in circumference. A large sized custom wristband is roughly the same circumference as a soda pop can. Since wristbands from wristbands.net are made to order, we have the ability to produce any size smaller or larger you wish! Toddler and youth sizes are smaller than 7 inches in circumference.

More and more of our recent customers are taking their customized silicone wristbands to another level! Custom wide wristbands are used as business cards, birth announcements and party invitations!

Awareness Wristbands

2010-04-21T08:45:00.003-05:00

Often we are asked to produce wristbands for a special event or someone battling a disease. Loved ones contact us for bracelets honoring battles with cancer or simply to honor the memory of one’s passing. We are privileged to manufacture and be a part of these. It is our way of remembering our blessings and reminding us what is important in life.

Silicone wristbands have always been synonymous with building awareness. You can just look around and see this with the popularity of the yellow LIVESTRONG wristband and the pink breast cancer awareness bracelets. It never ceases to amaze us how many wristbands you see every day. Each wristband, whether yellow, pink, or lavender has a special meaning to its owner. Whether it’s to commemorate an achievement or honor a memory.

Color Coated vs Color Filled Wristbands

2010-04-20T07:52:00.001-05:00

What is the difference between Color Coated and Color Filled wristbands? We are often asked this and will clarify it for you today!

Color coated wristbands are 2 layers of color one on top of the other. The top layer is silicone paint and the bottom is the silicone wristband. When the message is engraved or debossed using a laser, the top layer is removed where your text or images is, revealing the bottom layer or color.

Color coated bracelets allows you a cost effective option to the color filled style however it has its draw backs. While color coated wristbands are easy to read and make a big impression, this type band was created for promotional use and occasional wear. Over time, the outer layer will wear or fade; this process occurs quicker with daily wear.

Color filled wristbands however are very different. Debossed, color filled wristbands are manufactured with a molding technique. A steel mold is cast with your custom message or logo. Once this process is complete, silicone is simply pressed into the mold and using 10,000lbs of pressure the message is stamped or imprinted into the silicone. Color filling adds an alternate color to the message text. The wristbands are manufactured by either mold or laser, and then re-stretched. Each portion of text or logo is individually filled with an alternate color and baked. This is very tedious and a unique art form.The baking process sets the silicone ink used to fill the custom message bonding it to the silicone wristband. Color filling is a unique feature and will not fade or chip and will withstand the test of time.

Latex vs Silicone Wristbands: What is the difference?

2010-04-19T09:19:00.005-05:00

A very interesting inquiry came in recently. The client asked us what the difference between latex and silicone wristbands is. Very good question we had the answer to and here is where we can share it with the rest of you!

We always boast that our wristbands are 100% latex free. This is particularly important for those with latex allergies, but most people don't know the difference or why it even matters.

Latex is a natural rubber. It is the protective fluid in the tissue under the bark of the rubber tree; the sap so to speak. When latex is exposed to air, it coagulates and hardens. Chemical additives are introduced to the natural product to provide elasticity and pliability. It is the protein in latex that causes allergic reactions. When styrene and butadiene are mixed together, the resulting product is synthetic latex. It is these chemical that also increase allergic reactions. Latex reactions can range from a simple skin rash to perioperative anaphylactic reaction.

Silicone is commonly confused with the metallic alloy Silicon or Si as it is chemically referred to. Silicone is a polymer that includes silicon with carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Silicone is most commonly used to manufacture household products and wristbands as it is durable, rubber-like and heat resistant. Because silicone is a polymer, no chemical additives are required.

Contrary to popular belief, silicone wristbands cannot be recycled once manufactured into wristbands. Once silicone is cast into a mold or engraved, the product is so heat resistant, it cannot be reheated to be reshaped or recycled.

Wristbands.net offers the widest varieties in wristband styles with hundreds of colors to choose from. We take pride in providing you with a high quality product and satisfaction!

2010-04-16T07:00:00.003-05:00

How can money be raised using a simple silicone wristband? That’s a simple question and you can turn to several successful campaigns to see just how it works and how it can work for you and your cause!

Lance Armstrong’s LIVESTRONG Foundation and the Susan G. Komen Foundation probably come to mind instantly when you think of raising awareness and silicone wristbands. The wristbands are sold and the proceeds from each sale funds important research while raising cancer awareness.

What most people do not know is they can order customized messages for their specific organization. School PTOs, Teams in Training, sports leagues and youth groups have found this through wristbands.net and we are going to share with you how it is done!

The most cost effective wristband to order is debossed or laser made wristbands. This is simply because units start at as little as .30* per bracelet on 1,000 units. It is roughly $300 investment for your school or organization. As a generally rule of thumb, they are sold in fundraisers for roughly $2 a unit. This is equates to roughly $1.70 profit or $1,700 on the $300 investment! With the base cost of .30 each, we offer thousands of colors that can be solid, swirled or segmented further customizing you order for your cause and group. Add logos, color filling and individual bagging for easier distribution and take your wristbands to another level!

Using custom silicone wristbands to fundraise eliminates order forms and bulky items to redistribute when the orders arrive. Silicone wristbands are 100% latex free so there is never a worry for allergies.

Students are given one of 4 - 6 different colored wristbands and are then asked to find their classmates with the same bracelet colors and sit in a designated area or lunch table to make new friends! The custom wristbands also provide a keepsake with the school's logo, mascot and Mix it Up message!

Teachers are rewarding student's benchmark exam with custom silicone wristbands as well!

Wristbands from wristbands.net are also being used as achievement awards to promote developmental assets in youth programs.

Each value is assigned a specific wristband color. When the participant exhibits the core value, they are rewarded with the silicone wristband from wristbands.net. Participiants love bragging and showing off their achievements and asset building to their peers and it has become quite to competetion to see who has the most!

Not All Bands Are Created Equal

2010-04-13T17:33:00.015-05:00

Several times a day, we are asked what the difference is between a debossed wristband and a laser made wristband. Well we firmly believed an informed client is a happy one so here is it! Both debossed and laser made wristbands are where the message is engraved or sunken into the rubber wristband. It is the TECHNIQUE that is used to achieve this that makes the difference.

Debossed wristbands are manufactured with a molding technique. A steel mold is cast with a custom message. Once this process is complete, silicone is simply pressed into the mold and using 10,000lbs of pressure the message is stamped or imprinted into the silicone.

Molded, debossed wristbands provide a deeper impression than laser made wristbands.

Laser made wristbands are manufactured using a laser. The wristbands are loaded on to a form and the laser acts as a "printer" burning a layer of silicone off of the wristband.

To add more distinction, both types may be color filled.

Color filling adds an alternate color to the message text. The wristbands are manufactured by either mold or laser, then re-stretched. Each portion of text or logo is then filled with an alternate color and baked. The baking process sets the silicone ink used to fill the custom message. Color filling is a unique feature and will not fade or chip.

Which type is best for you and your needs? This all depends on how quickly you require your custom wristbands! Molded wristbands require us to cast a mold first where laser made wristbands maybe be loaded and manufactured more quickly. If you are still uncertain, contact us and we will gladly further guide you!

Ultraviolet Silicone Wristbands - It's MAGIC!

2010-04-08T11:23:00.013-05:00

Ultraviolet Sensitive Wristbands have become increasingly more popular during this time of year. We have hundreds of requests for these especially since summertime is creeping up!

Many of our clients have asked us how these wristbands get their sensitivity and just “magically change” from beige to bluish purple. Well, we thought this would be a great way to answer this, explain the process and let you know what makes these Ultraviolet Wristbands so unique!

All of the wristbands manufactured by wristbands.net begin with 100%, latex free silicone. Silicone is commonly confused with the metallic alloy Silicon or Si as it is chemically referred to. Silicone is a polymer that includes silicon with carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Silicone is most commonly used to manufacture household products and wristbands as it is durable, rubberband-like and heat resistant.

To get the wristbands to change color and make them ultraviolet sensitive we must use an ultraviolet powder derived from a natural mineral called Hardystonite. This mineral rock is crushed to a powder form and added to the silicone mixture. Silicone is naturally grayish white in color. The crushed Hardystonite is naturally white to beige. When the two are mixed, the result is a beige grey rubber wristband. In order to see the wristband change color, it must be exposed to ultraviolet light.

Ultraviolet light, or UV light, occurs naturally via the sun’s rays. The ozone layer protects us from most of the sun’s harmful UV rays, however they still peep through. This the most common source of UV light exposure. Additionally, UV lamps and black lights are sources of UV light as well.

When a custom ultraviolet silicone wristband from wristbands.net is exposed to the sunlight, this is where the “magic” occurs. The ultraviolet light charges the Hardystonite powder and there you have it; your custom ultra violet sensitive wristband changes from the beige white to a bluish purple! This color change does vary though. If the ultraviolet light is at its extreme, the result is a very deep purple so the change varies from beige with little to no exposure to a deep bluish purple at its most intense. This effect lasts quite a long time however, the more exposure your wristband has to ultraviolet light, the weaker the charge will become over time.

Our clients have found some very unique, custom messages and ways to use these ranging from science camps and dermatology clinics to sunscreen manufacturers where they serve as a reminder for people to reapply or come inside! Skin cancer awareness is raised through these rubber wristbands as well!
