It's evident that custom wristbands are great for fundraising, but what else are they great for?
Due to our custom wristbands being made of silicone, they have the amazing ability of being able to stretch and fit over objects. This has led to them being used for packaging purposes, with custom wristbands displaying a companies logo and contact details aroung a box - leaving an extra gift for their customers, and thus increasing brand awareness and customer retention, all at the same time.
So how does the custom wristband system work?
-
It's simple really, first off you start by sending us your design details, preferred quantites & any relevant information or artwork. (Such as logos or preferred colours of silicone / ink).
