Woven wristbands

Woven wristbands are cloth festival bands. They stay on through a camping weekend, which is why promoters pick them over tyvek for a three-day event. We make full colour print, threaded weave, and a recycled-plastic option. Order from the shop, or ask us for a quote if you have dates and artwork ready.

In short

  • Woven wristbands are fabric, not paper. They are the usual choice when the band has to last more than one night.
  • Staff lock them on with a one-way clip. Guests sleep in them. That is the point.
  • We make a printed face, a threaded weave, and a recycled-plastic weave.
  • For a birthday door, tyvek is the usual answer. Price on woven depends on the style and how many you need.

How they work at a festival

A woven wristband is a short textile strap that locks with a sliding clip. Once it is on, security can see the colour and artwork from a few metres away. Guests leave it on in the tent. The band is the ticket you cannot lose in a pocket.

Promoters use different weaves or prints to mark weekend vs day, crew vs guest, or camping vs arena. People looking for fabric wristbands or cotton wristbands are usually after this, not a gym sweatband.

Woven, tyvek or slap

Match the material to how long the band has to live on the wrist.

What we make

Full colour print puts a designed face on the strap. Threaded builds the look into the threads. Recycled plastic weave is there when you want that option.

If you only need a birthday door, skip woven. Tyvek is the usual Australian answer for that night.

FAQs

Where can I buy fabric wristbands?+
For event and festival fabric bands in Australia, start with woven wristbands, or ask us for a quote if you have dates and artwork ready. Fashion cotton sweatbands are a different product.
How do fabric wristbands work?+
Staff fit a woven strap and lock the clip so it will not slide off in the crowd. Artwork or weave colour tells security which ticket the guest holds. They are meant to stay on for the run of the event.
What are cotton wristbands for?+
People often mean woven festival bands, or they mean gym sweatbands. We sell woven event wristbands, including a recycled-plastic weave, not terry sweatbands.
