How to Get More Results Out of Your paper Wristbands?

Category: Business

If you say “paper wristbands” to someone contemplating a purchase of wristbands for various functions will probably think that these would be too flimsy and will quickly tear because they are made from paper. The truth is that paper wristbands or plain paper wristbands are made from a composite mixture of both paper and material known as Tyvek. Tyvek is extremely strong, very difficult to tear or rip and is also waterproof. It has many uses in items such as building materials and packaging. A typical paper wristband or Tyvek wristband will last the user up to 2 days or more if being used in a tranquil environment. Given that most functions last only for a few hours or at most a day, these plain paper wristbands are ideal and explain why they are the most popular product on the market. At Ilford Hospital, London, we use paper wristbands for all outpatients. Each printed paper wristband is colour coded depending on the specific department that the patient is being referred to. Each paper wristband also has customised text on the wristband for specific medical conditions or doctors. For example, light blue background for the orthopaedic department and XRAY text on the blue background means radiology (X-ray) section and so forth. Similarly, visitors are given a white paper wristband with VISITOR printed on it – and the relevant section that they are visiting. For example, a person wearing a plain white paper wristband with ORTHOPAEDIC printed on it means the visitor is headed to the orthopaedic section. People wearing printed paper wristbands for events cannot just wander around randomly. These paper wristbands not only serve to inform the staff as to where to direct the visitor, but it also serves a security purpose. Everyone in the hospital must either sport a paper wristband or, in the case of staff, a hospital ID. These printed paper wristbands or event paper wristbands can also be used for events such as fundraising activities that are held sometimes at the hospital. A paper wristband is easy on the money and serves as a visual identification tag for anyone entering the hospital. Our hospital purchase department procures these paper wristbands from www.wristbandseurope.com Our hospital security staff also informs me that printed wristbands can also contain other information such as a QR code that can be scanned. All the paper bands are sequentially numbered and that means we can easily keep track of how many people have entered the facility per day. The security staff also pointed out that printed paper wristbands have also been used for events and functions including seminars and medical conferences. Because there are so many colours to choose from it is easy to come up with a different colour for a different event – even at short notice. The team at Wristbands Europe normally take about 2-3 days to produce and deliver our Tyvek wristbands which is a great service.
