Tyvek® is a registered trademark of Dupont for a synthetic material that is manufactured in sheets. Tyvek, made of high-density polyethylene fibers, is stronger than paper and cheaper than fabric. Because of these qualities, the material is extremely useful for a number of practical applications, including use as wristbands.

Tyvek wristbands are flexible, lightweight, strong, and resistant to water and abrasion. These qualities make the wristbands versatile for identification purposes at a myriad of events such as concerts, fairs, school and religious functions, and clubs. Patron recognition is quick and secure because the wristbands are non-transferable and designed for one-time use only. Tyvek wristbands can be used for crowd management, age ID, height restrictions, special privileges, and catering service identification.

Tyvek wristbands come in a variety of standard colors and designs, pre-designed motifs, or with bar coded features. They are designed to be adjustable and to close with a snap, button or adhesive tab. A number of companies offer customized Tyvek wristbands for your special event or private party; you simply choose the color, design and any pertinent information you wish to have printed on your wristbands. Some Tyvek wristband companies allow you to upload your own artwork to have imprinted on your wristbands. Online ordering makes purchasing the wristbands easy, and economic - standard orders are normally shipped within days.

Because of its strength and durability, Tyvek® is extremely useful for a wide variety of products besides wristbands. These products range from mailing envelopes and packaging to signs and banners to protective clothing. Tyvek® products can also be recycled, which means that they are environmentally-friendly.

Whenever you are planning an event where it is critical that only those entitled to attend are allowed inside the venue, consider ordering Tyvek wristbands. Requiring the attendees to wear these wristbands will make your event more secure, safe, and if applicable - profitable.
