Sustainability Information
Our Thermal Paper Wristbands are an environmentally responsible option. They are made from high-density recyclable polypropylene (HDPE), which reduces the environmental impact compared to traditional PVC wristbands. Additionally, we use eco-friendly inks that are free from harmful chemicals, complying with international environmental standards. These wristbands offer an eco-friendly choice for events that aim to reduce their carbon footprint without compromising on quality or durability.
-
Eco-Friendly Printing: We use non-toxic, water-based inks for customization, minimizing the environmental impact during production.
-
Lower Carbon Footprint: Due to their lightweight design, thermal paper wristbands require less energy for production and transport, helping reduce carbon emissions compared to heavier wristbands made from silicone or plastic.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ): Thermal Paper Wristbands
1. What are they made of?
Our wristbands are made from high-quality thermal paper combined with recyclable high-density polypropylene (HDPE), making them both durable and lightweight. We also use eco-friendly inks that are free of harmful chemicals.
7. What’s the minimum order for customized options?
The minimum order depends on the level of customization. Contact us at sales@pgpgroupltd.com for specific details related to your order requirements.
2. What type of events are they ideal for?
These wristbands are perfect for festivals, concerts, conferences, trade shows, and other short-term events that require fast and secure identification.
8. How long can I expect them to last?
Thermal paper wristbands typically last for the duration of the event, up to 7 days. They are ideal for day-long conferences, festivals, or events where attendees will only need to wear the wristband temporarily.
3. Are they water resistant?
Thermal paper wristbands are not waterproof, making them better suited for indoor events or events where water exposure is minimal. For water-resistant alternatives, we recommend our Fabric Wristbands or Silicone Wristbands.
9. Are they eco-friendly?
Our wristbands are made from recyclable materials and produced using eco-friendly inks. Additionally, the use of thermal printing reduces the need for excess ink or cartridges, contributing to reduced waste.
4. How secure are they?
Each wristband is designed to be tamper-evident. Once applied, they cannot be removed without breaking, ensuring that only authorized individuals wear them.
10. Do they work with thermal printers?
Yes, our thermal paper wristbands are compatible with most direct thermal printers, allowing you to print variable data such as unique codes or names directly onto the wristbands with ease.
5. Can they be customized?
Yes, our wristbands are fully customizable. You can add your company’s logo, event branding, barcodes, sequential numbers, or even security features like UV ink. Custom colors and designs are also available.
11. Are they hypoallergenic?
Yes, our wristbands are designed with comfort in mind and made from hypoallergenic materials, making them safe for people with sensitive skin.
6. Are they durable enough for multi-day events?
While thermal paper wristbands are designed for single-day or short-term use (typically 1-7 days), they are durable enough to last through multi-day events that do not involve heavy water exposure.
12. How fast is the production time?
Production time for thermal paper wristbands typically ranges from 7 to 10 business days for custom orders. We also offer expedited services for urgent needs.
