EvBoo offers two wristband options for events: printable bands and RFID “festival” style bands. Printable bands are ideal for events lasting up to a weekend. They are waterproof and can be printed on demand or in advance. RFID “festival” style bands can be customized with your graphics, colors, and tags, and are suitable for any event.
EvBoo can record, print, allocate, and track unique wristbands for every participant and adult. These wristbands are quick to produce, customizable, and affordable. The unique barcode allows for quick tracking and identification.
Printed Wristbands
Printed bands are designed for use in hospitals, but we recommend “Splash Bands” for activities involving water. These bands withstand water activities and showering. However, Scouts and Guides may still manage to damage them, so we ensure quick reprinting on-site and allocate additional bands in our estimates.
Printed Wristband Features
With printed wristbands, we can include a range of additional information, such as:
- Participant Name
- Participant Role
- Activity Consent/Permission
- Unique barcode for tracking on and off-site
- Participant type (e.g., a large letter “P” for participants)
- Visit Period/Duration (e.g., Day Visitor)
- Event Logo
- In fact pretty much anything!
Here is an example of the information we can print onto the bands.
Festival Bands
For longer events, we offer festival-style wristbands with RFID (NFC) tags. These have become an affordable option and can be used for tracking purposes like printed bands. The tag on each band is uniquely coded and allocated to a participant or attendee, allowing for entry and exit tracking. These bands are reliable, durable, and have single-use toggles for security.
RFID Festival Wristbands
We can brand the band and tag for your event, though customisation options are limited. With sufficient quantity, different colour bands or tags can be ordered for different participant types. Our scanners can be used to determine activity consent, look up medical forms, and check age. This is in addition to tracking movement on and off-site.
Wristband Scanning
EvBoo has developed a self-contained scanning solution for tracking participants and attendees on and off site. Integrated with the booking system, it provides near real-time status updates. The system uses a dedicated app on handheld, waterproof scanners that are easy to use in any location.
Additionally, we can track participants as they travel to off-site activities. At an event with over 1200 participant movements daily, we tracked participants on and off coaches or minibuses and at activity fields.
First Aid Identification
Our bands are ideal for identifying participants for first aid purposes. At one event, a young person became unconscious during a water activity. Using the wristband, their unique identifier was quickly shared with the event’s admin team, who identified a known medical issue from their medical form. This information was communicated to the offsite activity team within minutes, providing reassurance.
Cashless Payment Systems
Our RFID wristbands can also be used to provide a cashless payment system for your events. Parents and adults can load funds onto their wristbands, which can then be used to purchase items from your merchants, such as a tuck shop, merchandise store, food outlet, or even the staff bar. This cashless approach is secure and hassle-free. Funds can be loaded before the event and even during the event if the young people run out of money!

Our wristbands look effective with custom logos and colours. Take a look at the pictures below from various events that capture our bands in use.
Unlike lanyards, which can be dangerous during some activities, wristbands stay on all the time and cannot be transferred to another participant.
You can see Festival wristbands in use at an event in the photo below. In addition to their high security features Festival Wristbands are hugely popular with the participants as they can keep them as a memory of the event, just like going to a music festival.
