One of the cleverest inventions I have found in the twentieth century is the Tyvek wristband. This incredible, little, multi-purposeful item has become a popular solution to visual identification requirements globally, particularly in such cases as admission control, VIP access, age verification, advertising and branding, special events, crowd management, security, and group identification.
They are made of high-density polyethylene fibers; a synthetic material of the highest quality. These bands are strong enough to prevent tearing yet can be cut with scissors making them tamper proof, anti-stretchable, breathable, and immensely practical. The die-cut closure of the band is created with an adhesive strip so that it will shred if it has been tampered with. This unique design prevents the transference of these bands between individuals. They are easy to apply to the wrist and very user-friendly, as they are designed to fit all wrist sizes.
The custom Tyvek wristbands can be completely customized according to the clients’ tastes and preferences. Custom printed Tyvek wristbands and reminder bands and are available in a variety of types, styles, colors and patterns. Customers can even include their own image and/or text. The wristbands have become popular worldwide and come in attractive stock designs, they are a symbol of a styling accessory and fashion statement.
All of Tyvek products are eco-friendly and can be recycled as compared to most bracelets that are made of vinyl. Vinyl bands are generally incinerated as a means of disposing them and may result in the formation and dissipation into the environment of the carcinogen dioxin. From an environmental perspective, incineration of olefin (Tyveks’ basic material) in oxygen results in the formation of carbon dioxide and water, a far better alternative than the results of incineration of vinyl. Additionally, DuPont has set up recycling programs to ensure eco-friendly disposal.
One of the main benefits is its low cost. These incredibly cheap Tyvek wristbands fill consumer needs with comfort and style, and are approximately half the price of vinyl bracelets. Recently one hospitals estimated savings totaled almost $10,000 a year just by switching its bracelet use from vinyl to Tyvek. The advantage of low production costs and preferable environmental characteristics makes Tyvek wristbands cheap and a great product for almost any requirements.
