Paper Wrist Bands - An Easy Event Management Option That Will Not Tear Apart Your Budget

Whether you have heard of it or not, it cannot be denied that paper wrist bands have taken their place alongside the better known silicone, vinyl and rubber wrist band versions. At this point you might be wondering how paper based wristbands can have as large an impact with people as their more durable and longer lasting counterparts (after all paper is not known for its ability to weather adverse conditions such as water and natural wear-and-tear.)

The solution to this conundrum lies not in the wording so much as it does in the composition of the 'paper' material, which - if you have not already guessed it - is not made from paper, or rather, not entirely from paper.

With help from the latest technological advances, a new, hardier material was created using a unique blend of fibre, fabric and paper. This became known as Tyvek and the rest is history. Although Tyvek has numerous applications, it cannot be denied that using Tyvek to make paper wrist bands was a good idea. These wrist bands are utilised by many people for many things spanning from admission into concerts and large events, to being used as identifying tags to help separate those who are under the legal drinking age.

And this is not all they can be used for. These wrist bands can also be used to help identify VIP guests. This would allow them to have access to VIP areas which otherwise they would not have access to. This method of identifying those who are allowed special privileges is in many ways advantageous over existing methods.

Instead of having to print special paper passes, or having the special passes in clear plastic pockets which can then be hung around the neck of the guest, these wrist bands can be placed easily and simply on the wrist of each guest. This not only minimises cost (no paper passes to be printed, no clear plastic pockets necessary to hold them, and no lanyard needed to hang around the neck), it also simplifies matters for the guests as well. Not only do the guests not have to keep track of their special pass, they also do not have to worry about it getting on caught on something and potentially harming them.

And if you think along the same lines you will find this is not the only use for paper wrist bands. They can also be used to help control those factions of people who will look to con their way into large events such as concerts by using one ticket for a number of people. By using paper based wrist bands instead of using paper admission tickets, you have effectively made it more difficult for those trying to bluff their way past the entrance security owing to the difficulty in removing these wrist bands without first defacing them in some manner or other.

That said, if you put your mind to the task there is really no shortage of ideas you can come up with as to how best to use these paper based wristbands. Do not limit yourself to the tried and tested uses they have already been put to - do something different and you will immediately see the advantages in using paper wrist bands.
