Tyvek Wristbands Frequently Asked Questions
Wristband Printing and Design
We can print anything you would like on the wristbands! If you would like to completely design your own wristbands, please head to our custom-printed wristbands page. You will then be directed to our wristband designer, whereby you can create your own wristbands and see a preview of your finalised design before checking out.
For the creation of fully customised printed wristbands, you will be redirected to our affiliated company, The Wristband Co. Through their user-friendly wristband designer, you can effortlessly design and purchase your wristbands. Owned and operated under the same premise as The Race Bib Co., rest assured your order is in safe hands!
Yes absolutely! We print digitally in CMYK, there is no extra charge for colour print! To achieve our high-quality black print, we use a layered mix of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black which adds great depth and richness giving great contrast to the artwork on race bibs and wristbands.
If you require white print on your wristbands, this is no problem. We will need to create a bespoke wristband for you by fully printing a custom background on white wristbands. These designs always come out great so if you are thinking about this, please get in touch so we can start working on these for you.
Once the wristbands are worn, it is essential to note that the end of the wristband securely wraps around the wrist and remains concealed beneath the adhesive strip. Considering this aspect, we highly recommend positioning the most crucial elements of your design towards the left side of the wristband. This strategic placement ensures optimal visibility of the design, regardless of the wearer’s wrist size.
YES! With full-colour printing, we can cover the entire wristband in your unique design! We offer a free design service, so if you are interested in having a custom design created for you, please get in touch with our friendly team.
When using our race bib designer, you will be provided with the option to write a name within the designer to get a feel for what your finished race bib is going to look like. When placing your order, please upload a CSV file containing your competitor names. We will then ensure your competitor’s names are printed on to the bibs during production. If you have any questions regarding this, please do not hesitate to contact us.
All of our wristbands are 25mm wide and 250mm long, the maximum printable area on the wristbands as standard is 19mm by 3mm in from the top and bottom edges of the wristbands.
Yes – The wristband colour can show through colour print changing its colour. If you have a logo with a white area, this will then become the colour of the wristband. If you would like the truest colour print for both your coloured text/logo, we would always suggest choosing white wristbands to keep the colour as true as possible. If you have any concerns please get in touch as the team will always want to ensure we achieve the best results for you.
This is no problem! This is called variable data printing and is something we specialise in. This can be done in almost any barcode format, and is also a great way to have a list of different names and areas printed individually on each wristband. Please contact us directly, and we can better assist you with this.
