In short

  • Paper party wristbands, tyvek paper wristbands and tyvek wristbands are the same buying job.
  • Tyvek is a synthetic sheet. It looks like paper, survives a night out, and tears if someone tries to pass it on.
  • We do not sell a flimsy paper strip. You order tyvek.
  • If the event lasts several days, look at woven instead.

Why people say paper

Event buyers ask for paper wristbands because that is how the product looks in the hand. The industry standard for that look is tyvek. Real kraft or ticket-stock paper soaks through with sweat and comes apart at the door.

If a quote or another website says paper, ask whether they mean tyvek. If they mean actual paper, it will not behave like a proper event band.

Waterproof, recyclable, DuPont

Tyvek sheds light rain and sweat. It is not a swim band. Whether a used band can go in recycling depends on your council and the adhesive after a night on a wrist. Do not treat it like clean household paper.

DuPont makes the Tyvek sheet. Event printers cut and print it into numbered or coloured wristbands. The material brand is not the shop name.
