Choose a Wristband When…

Your event is one day, crowds move in and out, and staff must spot access levels instantly. Colour-coded locked bands end the "my friend has my pass" problem.

Choose a PVC Card When…

The pass is used across days or visits — a conference badge on a lanyard, a spa or gym day pass, a club membership. Cards carry names, photos, QR codes and terms on the back, and they look premium when handed over.

Use Both

Many conferences give delegates a PVC badge on a lanyard for identification and a locked wristband for the gala dinner. At these prices, combining them is cheap.
