Frequently Asked Questions

Custom woven fabric wristbands are made using an embroidery process where several different threads are woven together in order to create your custom wristband design in up to 7 colors.   For custom printed fabric wristbands we print your custom design onto fine white polyester / satin fabric using a dye-sublimation process leaving a super smooth feeling to your wristband.

Our standard event wristbands are 0.59 inches wide by 13.78 inches in diameter or length.

Production time for all custom fabric wristbands, both our woven fabric wristbands or our printed fabric wristbands, is typically 5-7 business days before shipping out. Shipping times for your custom event wristbands can take anywhere between another 3-5 business days in transit depending on where you are in the United States. For a more accurate expected delivery time, have a look at the map below. If at any time production goes more than 7 business days, we will make up the time by expediting shipping at our expense.

We recommend using a professional design software like Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop or Corel Draw to design your custom event wristbands. Templates for all wristbands are available here. To setup your wristband design file start by using a size of 0.59 inches high by 13.78 inches wide. No margins or bleeds are required. Use the CMYK color profile and if designing for printed fabric wristbands, set your resolution to 600 dpi for best results. 240 dpi is the absolute minimum you would want to use if no better resolution is available. If the resolution of you custom wristband file is below 240 dpi we may ask that you make additional approvals to artwork before going to production. For custom woven wristbands you must use vector artwork (in which case defining the resolution is not necessary) with a program such as Adobe Illustrator using no more than 7 custom colors.

For custom printed fabric wristbands your colors will be printed exactly as you supply them in your artwork file. For this we also recommend using a CMYK color profile.
