Slap Bands

Most of these slap bands with logo printing are made from PVC. Reflective PVC slap bands have a soft felt backing and come in regular and extra long lengths, in a good spread of colours. A white reflective PVC version is printed in full colour and has a longer length as well, which makes it a handy pick for ID. Neon PVC snap bands mix iron, PVC and velvet, and the snap action means they fit around an arm just as easily as a wrist. For something softer, silicone slap wristbands are flexible and self-curling, offered in a regular band and an extra large one. Every style curls into place on contact, so there's no buckle or clip to fiddle with.

This isn't a giveaway that gets tossed in a showbag and forgotten. At a council road safety day, a Year 3 student walks off with one already wrapped around her wrist, and she's still snapping it on and off at the school gate the next morning. On the walk home at dusk, the reflective strip catches the headlights of passing cars. For her, it's a toy that also helps drivers notice her.

All of these custom slap bands can be printed, and the white reflective style can be printed in full colour with any image or slogan. For bands with their own lights, see flashing wristbands.

Worth Knowing

Are slap bands a good giveaway for schools running road safety days?
Yes, students get a reflective band they'll actually wear on the walk to and from school. The PVC surface bounces car headlights back to drivers, so kids are easier to see when crossing at dusk.

Do slap bands with logo suit businesses handing out giveaways at night markets?
They do, since stallholders can pass one over and shoppers tap it straight on with no buckle or clip. The reflective PVC style bounces car headlights back to drivers, which helps visitors walking home after dark.

Which style is best for festival organisers who need ID bands?
The full colour reflective band on a white base is the best fit for festival ID. Each band can show a different image or slogan, so gate staff can tell ticket types apart at a glance.

What would a junior sports club get out of branded slap wristbands?
Junior players get a bright band to wear on the field, and the neon PVC snap style fits an upper arm as easily as a wrist. Parents can then spot their kids on a crowded oval far more quickly.
