Why Design Matters for Custom Paper Wristbands
The first interaction your attendees will have is with your paper wristbands. A well-thought-out and creative design can convey professionalism, reinforce the theme of your event and become a souvenir for attendees.
Personalised paper wristbands are not simply about the practicality of crowd management, they are about using every element of your event to leave a lasting impression.
Designs that are visually striking or cleverly branded can help to create excitement and engagement. This can help to reinforce that your event is well-planned. It can also assist in making your brand more recognisable and reach a bigger audience.
Personalised Paper Wristbands: Key Design Elements
To ensure your custom paper wristband makes an impact, there are key design elements that you should focus on including the following:
Colours
Choosing the right colours to align with your brand or theme event is crucial. Softer tones or muted colours can convey sophistication which may be more suitable for corporate events, whilst bolder, contrasting colours often grab attention and are often chosen for festivals, nightclub events and parties. Personalised wristbands using vibrant hues are also a great choice for party wristbands.
But there are no rules! You can pick whatever colour aligns with your brand, theme and vision. So, if you want neon pink, have it!
Text
When designing your custom paper wristbands it is important to keep your message simple and clear. We usually advise you to include your event name, dates, and any other important information your attendees need to know. Pick a font that is easily readable at a distance and in darker venues. This helps security at your event to quickly and easily manage crowd control and ensure the safety of all attendees.
Logos and Graphics
Adding your logo or an event graphic is a great way to customise your paper wristbands. Adding your logo makes your wristband instantly recognisable and helps to reinforce your brand throughout the event.
High-quality graphics also add an extra layer of creativity and visual appeal to your custom paper wristbands.
Sponsorships
If you have sponsorships for your event, they may need to be included in the design of your personalised paper wristbands. This can include their name, logo, and any other information which may have been agreed upon. Sponsorships not only help with the cost of wristbands but also create a partnership that can benefit both parties reaching a far wider audience, so it is important to get this design element right.
QR Codes
A quick and smart way to grab the attention of your attendees and engage them is with the use of QR codes on your personalised paper wristbands. You can direct them to event schedules, updates, social media pages, special promotions, donations, sponsors websites etc. QR codes are a great way to provide information without overcomplicating the design of your wristbands.
