A tougher door band

Plastic clip wristbands

A plastic clip wristband is a plastic strap that locks with a clip. It is the usual step up when tyvek is too flimsy for the door, but you still need a band that marks who is in. We make them plain, or printed with your design. Order online, or ask us for a quote if you have a guest count and artwork ready.

In short

  • Staff wrap the strap and close the plastic clip. It is a lock, not a sticky join and not a snap-on.
  • Use them when the door is wet, rough, or you want a band that holds up better than tyvek.
  • Plain colour for a split at the gate. Printed when the band should carry a logo. See plain and custom.
  • If you meant a band that snaps onto the wrist, that is slap wristbands. Price depends on plain or print and how many you need. You will see it on the product, or we can quote the order.

How the clip works

The strap is plastic, not the paper-like sheet used for tyvek. A clip at the end closes the loop. Door staff can see the colour from a step away, and the join is harder to peel than a sticky tyvek tab. That is the whole point of this band.

People buy them for nightclub doors, wet outdoor gates, and any one-night or return-visit entry where tyvek would take a beating. They are sold as a reusable event band. They are still an access strap, not a fashion bracelet.

Plain or printed

Same clip. Choose whether the strap also has to carry a design.

Not a slap band

Search often mixes the names up. A slap wristband sits flat, then curls around the wrist when you tap it on. It comes off. A plastic clip wristband is a door lock. If you need the snap-on, go to slap wristbands.

Tyvek is the lightweight Australian party band. It wraps and sticks, and the join tears if someone tries to pass it on. Use that for a standard birthday or club night. Use plastic clip when you want the tougher strap. For a camping festival, woven is still the usual multi-day ticket.
