Charity Wristbands

Charity wristbands are again becoming more and more popular being worn by adults, students and children alike. Because of this rise again in popularity the charity wristbands are being used by more and more organisations worldwide as a means of raising money. Not only does the wristband act as a source of income but because of the very nature of the product it can aid awareness of the cause/charity as well.

These wristbands are also known by a variety of different names and terms e.g. awareness wristbands, silicon wristbands, etc and we at Security Solutions UK Limited have been the UK's leading manufacture/supplier of these wristbands since their launch 5 years ago. We make them from 100 percent silicon and supply them in 3 different sizes, small, medium and large. The small size is ideal for pre-school children and children aged up to 12, from 12 onwards we would recommend the medium size and the large is designed to fit adults only. If a particular campaign were aimed at the teen to adult range then we would normally recommend the medium size as it is designed to fit both.

The wristbands are made by first melting the silicon and then using a carefully constructed mould into which the molten silicone is poured. If the wristband is to be debossed, i.e. have a cut into effect, then the text and design are raised inside the mould the opposite effect, embossing, is created by having the text/design raised within the mould. As it is necessary to melt the silicon prior to placing it in the mould the colour and number of colours that can be used can be matched to the organisation or individual's needs. Therefore dependant on requirement there is no limit to the number of colours or effects available e.g. one, two, three and four colour charity wristbands are commonplace and easy to do as are the wristbands with different effects, such as camouflage, glitter or even glow in the dark.

Once the colour/effect of the wristband has been chosen it is then necessary to choose how the text and or design should be created to achieve the best awareness for the charity, company or individual. The text can either be printed, cut into (debossed), raised (embossed) or a combination of the three e.g. debossed with an ink infill is not only possible but is becoming more and more popular.

So in conclusion a silicon charity wristband is a unique visible way of raising awareness, and in the majority of cases money as well, for a charity or campaign.
