Silicone wristbands are often called Rubber Wristbands or Bracelets. They are often used as cause wristbands for fundraising, such as the famous LiveStrong Wristbands. Silicone bracelets are easily customised with a huge array of colours, styles and prints available.
Silicone is a soft non-irritable material and are generally safe to wear against skin for long periods of time. Not only are they safe; they are also long lasting and strong, which makes them excellent wristbands for promoting a message. Popular uses for silicone wristbands include fundraising, promotions, and fashion, but you can create your own wristband for your needs.
When creating wristbands, silicone wristbands are great because you can mix and match wristband colours, as well as printing colours – you can even choose to emboss or deboss these wristbands instead of printing, or do both!
Other options include glow in the dark, glitter, and UV Reflective styles. With so many options it makes sense to talk to a professional dealer, this is where Wizid can really help you. We offer silicone wristband quotes and expert advice that can save you money and time. With over 10 years experience, Wizid can often help you avoid the common mistakes that people fall into when ordering silicone wristbands.

2011 marks the 20th Anniversary of wristbands making news in Australia.
Plastic wristbands made the front of the papers when they were used as the latest weapon to combat under-age drinking. Police combined with hoteliers to thwart an epidemic of under-age drinking & support the introduction of voluntary proof of age cards.

Wristbands were issued to young people who had to prove they were over 18 when AC/DC performed at the Sydney Entertainment Centre.
Patrons seeking alcoholic drinks presented photo id, in the form of a Drivers License, proof of age card or passport to supervisors who verified the details & issued patrons with a wristband.
Lee Kessler who is still at the Sydney Entertainment Centre said the wristbands would mean faster service at bars where staff had to wait for patrons to produce ID
Wristbands are still being used to assist control alcohol excess, but it is interesting to note the imprint used on the wristbands promoted a leading bourbon whiskey Rebel Yell.
NSW Police Minister at the time, Ted Pickering said the wristband program was a worthwhile initiative as alcohol abuse was a leading cause of road accidents for young motorists & often prompted irresponsible behaviour.
