CUSTOM SILICONE WRISTBANDS?
The silicone or rubber wristband craze started a few years back with the original yellow Livestrong bands, introduced to support cancer research by the Lance Armstrong Foundation and Nike. Since then they have become the HOTTEST trend in the market to fund raise for various causes, to show team spirit, as advertisement, for wedding or party favors, or just to make a personal statement or just for fun.You Can Get Wristbands of Your Own Design!
There are a few methods of producing custom bands. The most common is by debossing (molding the saying into the band at a factory). While this method is generally less expensive per piece, there is usually an additional set-up fee (to make a mold), a minimum number of pieces, and usually take several weeks to get.. They would need to be all of the same size and color and there are restrictions on the font, amount of text and on graphics.LASER ENGRAVED BANDS!
It's now possible to have bands made by laser engraving. You can
purchase as few as a single piece, get assorted colors and sizes, get
pretty much any font and can insert many graphics or even custom logos
in some cases. You can get bands in a few days usually in small
quantities. They are a little bit more money due to the labor involved,
but the difference in detail(as compared to debossing) is amazing.
There's plenty of margin left for re-sale. Many venders offer both
methods of making bands.
