When organising a large-scale event, there are so many moving parts to consider – quite literally when it comes to the concert-goers. Even cutting corners on seemingly the simplest of elements can make everything come tumbling down. Wristbands have become the go-to for event organisers as they’re a budget-friendly and effective access management tool but you need to use the right wristband for the right event. This is why Tyvek wristbands are best for concerts.
What is Tyvek?
Tyvek wristbands are made with 100% high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and are readily recycled with HDPE waste streams. They’re often referred to as ‘paper wristbands’ because of the paper-like feel.
Why Tyvek Wristbands for Concerts?
Tyvek is great for a variety of short-term events such as concerts, conferences and outings, as well as theme parks, water parks, and other hard-wearing, outdoor excursions. Here’s why Tyvek is the best option.
1.    A low-cost option
If you’re hosting a big concert, festival, or music tour then you’re going to need a lot of event wristbands. Tyvek are relatively inexpensive to produce and, when purchased in bulk, you’re enjoying even more cost savings. Tyvek is really affordable for any concert budget and ensures you get the most out of your marketing budget.
2.    Ease of identification
Tyvek wristbands can be printed in a variety of highly visible colours which makes identifying concert-goers that much easier. The different colours of Tyvek wristbands can be used for different groups, including regular concert-goers, VIP guests, security, staff, entertainment, and more.
3.    Comfortable to wear
The paper-like Tyvek material is lightweight, soft, and really comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. Tyvek is also a breathable material which allows for better air circulation, so even if it’s hot and humid, the wristband won’t become uncomfortable. The material is also hypoallergenic, so there’s no risk of skin irritation throughout the concert.
4.    Incredible durability
The Tyvek wristband is a synthetic material, so while it feels like paper, it’s much stronger. Tyvek is tear-resistant and water-resistant, making it perfect for concerts and other outdoor events. They can last for a day or two before becoming worn, so even if the festival is being held in the rain and mud, it won’t impact the wristband.
5.    Security features
The tear-resistant, stretch-resistant Tyvek material, as well as the non-transferrable adhesive clasp, make Tyvek wristbands the ideal security measure for your concert. There’s no way concert-goers can take off the wristband and exchange it, once it’s removed, it cannot be reused. With Tyvek wristbands, you’re safeguarding entry into your concert, as well as protecting VIP areas and preventing underage or non-admissible individuals into restricted areas.
6.    Customisation
When you’re working with a great Tyvek wristband supplier, your Tyvek wristbands can be customised for your unique concert. You can pick the unique colour, design, logos, and text to match your concert, sponsors, and more. You can also have differing colours and designs for VIP or bar areas to allow for special privileges. The wristbands also act as a great marketing tool for your concert.
7.    Ease of application
Concert entrances can be manic, with hundreds and thousands of people all trying to get through limited spaces. This can be made even more problematic when your access control is not slick. Tyvek wristbands are very easy to distribute among attendees and simple to put on wrists. The self-adhesive clasps mean there’s no need for specialised equipment, minimising the waiting times.
