Many companies are afraid to order vinyl wristbands because they find them uncomfortable. They prefer silicone models to vinyl ones. Let's find out why these wristbands differ and which of them are better.
Single-use models are very comfortable
However, some of the customers doubt it. But in fact, single-use models are very popular with customers, because they are sure that they will get new personal wristbands, which they can then keep for themselves or simply dispose of when they no longer need them.
Single-use wristbands are especially relevant today, in a pandemic. Visitors can only be sure of the safety of identifiers if they themselves have seen their wristbands cleaned and sanitized, or have been given brand new wristbands.
Vinyl is a perfect material in this case. First of all, such RFID wristbands can be safely used for a few days. They are waterproof and can be used in extreme temperatures. Besides, they have single-use locking clasps that prevent their further use after they have been taken off. It means that each client always gets a new wristband.
Silicone RFID wristbands are designed for multiple use. Therefore, they must be cleaned and sanitized before being given to people. It takes time and resourses. Moreover, the clients cannot be absolutely sure that their identifiers are completely safe.
Is vinyl a strong and durable material?
We are often asked this question. We always answer that it is as strong as a single-use wristband should be. In general, vinyl is quite durable. However, it can lose its attractive appearance over time, so we recommend using vinyl RFID wristbands from several days to several weeks.
A vinyl wristband is quite difficult to tear, and you will have to cut it if you want to take it off (the locking clasp that once closed, cannot be opened without breaking).
Vinyl RFID wristbands do not stretch. They are available in a single standard size. A long strap with a large number of holes is designed to tighten the wristband to the most comfortable diameter. The excessive strap can be cut off.
Have single-use RFID wristbands got durable chips?
Despite the general opinion, single-use wristbands also have chips. However, they have a different design. For example, vinyl wristbands have flexible modules.
A vinyl RFID wristband has a great variety of functions and can be used as:
- an access pass to the restricted area,
- ID card,
- payment device,
- smart key,
- loyalty program identifier, etc.
Vinyl Wristband Customization
Like other models, vinyl RFID wristbands can be customized. Custome wristbands are protected from copying and counterfeiting.
Vinyl wristbands can be customized with chip encoding. The encoding procedure is always agreed upon with the customer.
Besides, RFID wristbands can be customized with printed symbols. You can get your logo, company name, event, or other information printed on vinyl.
The inside of the vinyl RFID wristband can be engraved. Variable data, such as numbers, are printed in very small symbols on the wristband surface.
This unique technique facilitates the production of identifiers by eliminating the need to design each number. An operator specifies the required range in the system, and the laser will automatically engrave all the numbers.
This model is available in a vast variety of colors. You are welcome to order your wristbands of the same color, or choose a few colors to divide your clients to groups according to their gender, age, ticket prices, etc. Assign different wristband colors to different days to prevent using the same pass twice.
