Custom RFID Wristbands: How to Make Your Brand Stand Out at Every Event

In the world of managing events, first impressions are everything. Event organizers, from music festivals, trade shows, corporate conferences, to sports tournaments all agree that they are constantly looking for better ways of engendering a seamless experience for their attendees while also pushing their brand. Custom RFID wristbands provide a new customized and branded way to combine smart event technology.

At Xinyetong, we help you do both! Planning a one-day show? Or a week long event? No matter how big or small, our wide array of RFID wristbands provide you the ability to manage whether or not attendees can enter your event, enable attendees to pay with cashless technology on-site, and increase your brand impression all on one wristband.

In this article, we will argue that custom RFID wristbands can help your brand stand out at any event.

What Are Custom RFID Wristbands?

Custom RFID wristbands are RFID wearable bands designed with a small RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) chip. RFID chips communicate with RFID readers to provide easy access and identification at events and ease payment transactions.

These wristbands are considered custom because we can provide you the ability to customize the design, material, colour and chip settings to match the theme of your event.

Common types include:

• RFID silicone wristbands
• RFID fabric wristbands
• RFID cloth wristbands
• RFID paper wristbands
• RFID PVC wristbands

Each material offers unique benefits based on the event type, duration, and budget.

Why Custom RFID Wristbands Matter for Branding

A wristband is more than just a ticket, it's also a vehicle for marketing. Here are 4 reasons why custom RFID wristbands are great for brand:

1. Immediate Brand Presence

Every guest will wear the wristband for the duration of the event. When you print your logo, event name, or brand colors on the wristband, you provide in-event brand exposure, but also for any photos, videos, and social media postings after.

2. Customized Guest Experience

Customization allows you to create wristbands specific to VIPs, staff, media and general ticket holders. This can help with crowd control, of as proof that you care about your guests experiencing the event.

3. Professional Look

Customized, professional-looking RFID wristbands give attendees the impression you have a professional, organized event. Conversely, poorly designed tickets or badges that look cheap can damage your brand's image. Cheap ultimately means cheap looking. 6

4. Souvenir Potential

There are few disposable, reusable options for RFID wristbands which means guests typically keep them as souvenirs. This helps maintain brand presence beyond the event itself.

Customization Options at Xinyetong

At Xinyetong, we offer a wide range of custom RFID solutions to suit any event. Our customization services include:

Material Selection

Xinyetong offers RFID wristbands in a number of material types: paper, PVC, silicone, nylon, and cloth. Each of these materials are designed for different event types and durations, so you can determine the proper mix of comfort, longevity, and price, while always providing wristbands suitable for single day concerts, multiple day festivals, or a theme park.

Logo & Graphics

We can print your logo, the event name, QR codes, and serial numbers, or other custom art directly on every wristband. This creates additional opportunities for brand exposure, enhances the security of your event, and adds a more sentimental relationship when attendees wear a "cool wristband."

Color & Printing

Choose from bright full imprints, thermal transfer ink for crisp text and barcodes, and laser etched for that premium feel. The printing method will vary based on the material you've selected as well as style of your brand in  design.

Chip Encoding

We can offer LF, HF, or UHF RFID chips, and we can pre-encode any and all guest information, access rights, - or anything else you add to your system to update each chip. This can save you time at the event when we have the chips pre-encoded for guest access.

Packaging

Wristbands can be placed into set packs with printed packaging, in individual packages, or in branded packaging for sponsor promotions or VIP kits. Having well constructed wristbands is not only impressive for your guests, but reinforces your overall brand.

Choosing the Right RFID Wristband for Your Brand

Each event is different, and your wristband should reflect that. Here's a quick guide to help you choose:

Benefits of Custom RFID Wristbands Beyond Branding

4. Real-Time Tracking
