Maybe you have been an event planner for years or maybe this is your first time planning a big event. From choosing the venue, to getting the appropriate permits, lining up vendors, volunteers, staff and service people, from finding entertainment to advertising and managing the crowds of people who will show up, you’ve got a lot to think about. Lighten the load when you use Tyvek wristbands to manage your attendees.
All the Colors in the Rainbow
Color code with custom wristbands to organize your big event. Veteran and new party planners alike can appreciate the importance of keeping things organized. This applies to all aspects of your event, especially your crowd. On event day, you want to be able to distinguish your guests from your vendors, staff and volunteers.
Colorful Tyvek wristbands let you do this, by allowing you to quickly and efficiently separate your attendees. Simply place the appropriate event wristband on each attendee as he or she arrives at the gate and their roles at the event will be revealed.
You’ve put a huge amount of planning into the details of your event. Don’t let your guests forget who made it possible. Tyvek wristbands can be customized with your logo and information. Choose a memorable design that will stick with your attendees far into the future.
As if they could forget! The design will be stuck on them for the duration of the big day. Waterproof, durable and non-transferable, event wristbands allow you to make sure your brand will never be out of your guests’ sight.
When you customize wristbands with your own unique design, you help to ensure guests identify your brand, but you also increase the security of your event. Not any old wristband will do. Guests need to be wearing your event wristbands. A quick glance at their wrists can tell you whether they are meant to be there or not.
Custom wristbands can be individually numbered. They can also be printed with a unique holographic foil label that is very difficult to duplicate. In addition to choosing unique colors and a branded design, these features make it quick and easy to spot the genuine article anywhere in the crowd.
When you host your next big event, don’t forget your younger attendees. Whether you’ve booked teen sensation Justin Bieber, plan on screening the newest Twilight movie, or are hosting a local battle of the bands, your tween and teen guests may be among the most enthusiastic and important in the crowd. Win their loyalty, and you’ll have a core group of potential attendees to promote to as they grow.
Whether they bring home a coveted T-shirt or poster or hold onto concert wristbands as keepsakes, many kids and teens like to have something physical that they can show off to friends and family that proves they’ve been there and done that! Young people love to collect. It pays to help them in their efforts.
Custom printed stickers are a great option when you are catering to the younger set. Whether they end up decorating the base of a teen’s skateboard decks or the stickers get tucked away neatly into a memory book next to tickets and photos of the big event, custom stickers are doing their job long after the day is over. Your logo goes with your tween and teen audience, creating a brand recognition and affinity that was definitely worth the cost of printing.
Vinyl stickers are durable, waterproof, and fade resistant, so they will stand up to a little showing off. Whether event stickers get passed around as part of a story told between friends or find space on a notebook cover or folder, you will want them to last so that the memory of the event lasts with it.
In order to ensure that coveted place somewhere amidst your teen fans’ paraphernalia, you will want to choose a design that is attractive to them. You can create custom stickers that include the logo of your organization, the event itself, or create stickers for individual performers. Make sure each sticker includes a web address as well, so guests can find out more information about the organization, event or bands after the show.
Having a number of different custom printed stickers available at a particular event can also provide some distraction for your teen guests. Interested in having one of each to grace their albums, your younger guests can make a game of collecting all of the custom stickers available at your concert or festival. If money is an issue, you can even choose inexpensive economy stickers, so you get more stickers for less money.
Teenagers can be the most vocal and fervent of all your attendees. With a little buzz and some smart promotional work, invested teens can raise the level of excitement surrounding any event and its performers. Anyone who has heard the words “Bieber Fever” or “Twi-hard” can attest to this and knows the importance of winning this key crowd to their cause. Your tween and teen attendees can make your event a success, so don’t forget them in the planning stages.
Custom vinyl stickers geared to this demographic are an excellent choice when it comes to choosing the right promotional materials for your cause.
Tyvek® wristbands used to mean pretty much one thing, as far as I was concerned. You know those paper-plastic bracelets they stick on your wrist, which don’t come off unless you cut them off. It wasn’t so long ago that I thought they were meant exclusively to keep kids away from the bar at large events. At big festivals, we’d often flash our I.D.s to get one, which was usually printed with the logo of some large beer company. Event Wristbands meant beer.
That was before I became involved in events from the other side: the planning aspect. No doubt, from a liability standpoint, over-21 wristbands are still a great asset. They keep me and my bartenders safe from teenagers (you’d be surprised at the number of teens sporting a few gray hairs, or even a bald spot) but they do a lot more. What do I use them for?
VIP Passes—if there are private rooms or side events, I can keep them exclusive by creating unique wristbands available only to those who pay for the VIP Pass
Backstage Security—when I’ve booked a popular band, it’s important to keep that backstage area secure, so distinctive wristbands are issued to musicians and those authorized to be back stage
Staff and Volunteers—my guests and I can easily identify official representatives of the event if I choose a vivid color for their wristbands; a lost child knows who to ask for help, and I can identify my people at a glance
Event Passes—sometimes I don’t issue tickets in advance, so what’s the point of offering them at the gate? A wristband serves as proof of payment, so we can determine with ease if someone has jumped a fence
This last use surprises some people, who consider these recyclable wristbands something of a luxury. First of all, when I buy them in bulk, I usually get a nice discount from the manufacturer. They’re not expensive at all. In fact, they’re really cheap: substantially cheaper than printing event tickets: we’re talking in the realm of 8 or 9 cents a piece, for a wristband custom printed with the name of my event and my sponsor’s logo. They’re also harder to counterfeit, since they’re made from DuPont’s™ unique Tyvek® material. And I still imprint them with the name and logo of my event, or of my sponsor, for greater visibility.
My favorite thing about party wristbands? I know I’ve hosted a really successful event when I see someone proudly sporting my event wristband a few days after the festival’s ended!
You are an event organizer with a vision! From the centerpieces to the party favors, you’re holding thousands of ideas in your imagination, and when you need everything to look just so, you’ve got it planned down to the smallest details, like the exact look of your event tickets.
Even with hundreds of ticket templates to choose from, you’ve got your heart set on that special image or unique layout. Printing your own tickets online can help you make your dream a reality. You’re not limited by the whims of a printer or by someone else’s designs: just create the perfect event ticket with a do-it-yourself online ticket maker: a DYO tool.
Here’s what you’ll need:
• All the event details • Your background image • Logos or thumbnails • A vision • A DYO tool like the one at TicketPrinting.com
Have all the elements in order? You’re ready to go. The website can provide all the information you need to create and print the event tickets you want, with digital help available whenever you find yourself stuck.
DYO Event Ticket Printing allows you to choose the perfect colors and the perfect layout. Further, it lets you add special details that can make your life easier, like multiple perforations or numbering in several places on the ticket. Whatever’s in your mind, that’s what you’ll see printed on your ticket.
When you lay out your ticket, determine which details you’ll need to include. This will help you figure out how many lines of text you’ll need to add. Common bits of information would be:
• The event name • The hosting organization’s name • The sponsor’s name • The location of the event • The time of the event • The cost of the event ticket
Additional details that may be of use:
• Activities, speakers, or music • The name of the group that will benefit from any fundraising • Seat number (if there is to be reserved seating) • Dress code • Dinner menu • Open or cash bar • URL of a website where more details are available • Contact person’s phone number
Basically, if it’s information that might be useful or of interest to your guests, and you can fit it on the event ticket while maintaining your vision for the ticket’s overall look, consider adding it. Be sure to duplicate important information, such as reserved seating and ticket number, on the stub as well as the body of the ticket.
Now, put it all together. Upload your visual background, use the DYO tool to add the boxes where you will upload your logo, and the lines where you will enter your text. Position the perforation and the ticket numbers. When you’ve got it all together, preview your proof.
The proof preview is a really important part of printing event tickets. If you don’t proofread, you’ll have no one to blame but yourself! Plus, the proof will alert you if your text isn’t fitting correctly into the available space.
On the plus side, digital proofs really speed the process along. Once you approve your proof and submit billing and shipping details, your event tickets will start printing almost immediately! Within twenty-four hours, they should be created in all their full-color glory and shipped off via UPS straight to your home or office.
Simple enough, right?
Well, if this all seems overwhelming, fear not! There’s another option. You can still get the exact tickets your heart desires without mucking about with all these layout options. For just a little more money, you can order custom tickets. Yes, this is still an online service, and the rates are still quite reasonable. The only difference is that you can tell a design professional what you want and let them worry about how to make it happen.
Either way, your perfect event deserves a perfect event ticket. Whether you do it yourself or hire a dedicated artist to do it for you, online event ticket printing has never been easier!
Whether I’m printing event tickets or shopping for shoes, I usually know exactly what I want, which means that I’m searching for a merchant who’s prepared to sell me my vision, rather than push their own ideas at me. In the past, I believed that, when it came to print products, and event tickets in particular, the only way to get exactly what I’d pictured in my mind was to find a local printer and work with them one on one to bring my dreams to life, in full color and full bleed.
In the present, I’ve learned that the best ticket printing is done online. Online ticket printing is:
Convenient: set it up any time, day or night, from the comfort of your own desk
Fast: easy-to-use ticket templates, online checkout, and multiple delivery options speed the process along
Affordable: a streamlined process means a pared down pricetag
Besides that, I can still get exactly what I want, whether I’m just searching for general admission event tickets, or need an entire event kit, complete with all my event collateral, like posters, raffle tickets, and VIP passes. Most people don’t realize all the options available when they print their own tickets online:
Free ticket templates—hundreds to choose from mean you’re more likely to find the perfect design for your event
Personalization—customize each template with all your event details; some templates even let you upload one or more custom images
Custom Tickets—using a DYO tool or spending a little extra for a professional designer, you can create unique tickets to suit your needs
Of course, I still get all the necessary features like individual, security numbering and perforated, detachable ticket stubs. I can even choose extras like booklet stapling, reserved seating, or thermal security paper, for just a small additional fee.
Undoubtedly, my favorite feature is the custom image upload. I can take any image file from my computer and add to a ticket template. If my organization wants to brand the event with their own logo, it’s a cinch. Or, if we’d rather provide our sponsors with some extra publicity, we can ask them for a high-quality, high-resolution copy of that image. Or, I might choose to add another photograph, such as a head shot of a popular speaker whose presence will help boost ticket sales. Whatever image I choose to add, image upload is a great way to turn a free ticket template into a unique event ticket.
After image upload, my next favorite feature is the matching event kits I can purchase along with my event tickets, in particular, the matching raffle tickets. An allied prize draw is simply the best way to turn an event into a successful fundraiser. Printing raffle tickets and having them shipped well in advance let me start making money even before I start selling event tickets.
Finally, I know some people worry about the loss of human contact. They don’t trust computers and they worry that they won’t be able to talk to a human being if there’s a problem. Not with my ticket printing company! In addition to extensive FAQs, answering practically any question I’ve ever had, they also offer toll-free customer support, so I know that I can talk to a qualified service representative if I need to.
That’s why I’ve decided that, whenever I need to print up some event tickets for my organization, I’ll save time, money, and frustration by choosing an online event ticket printer!
Sure, it’s easy to rip the stub off a perforated general admission ticket and drop one half into a bin, while your guests jam the other half into the pocket of their jeans, where it is destined to take an all-expenses paid trip through the washing machine. Or, you could start to look at the tickets to your upcoming event in an entirely different way.
Your event’s tickets can take on a life of their own when you breath new purpose into them. Printing tickets can open doors for your organization. Those tickets are pretty versatile!
Print your event tickets with an eye for creativity, and they will serve you well.

With an eye-catching design and your organization’s logo printed right on the body of the ticket, your tickets can serve you well from the moment they leave the box office or the sales teams’ hands. Handsome, well-designed general admission tickets have a tendency to hang around on corkboards or refrigerators, where they help generate interest in your event and your mission.
Souvenir
Event Tickets don’t have to be ticket-sized. Think differently. If you find an image you love, one that really represents you, why not make it a little bigger? A larger format VIP Pass, Invitation, or a Poster or a Flyer, can work as a ticket, and such a ticket can live on after the event as a frameable souvenir. You can even create inexpensive frames to pass out to your guests.
RaffleTicket
High quality Event Tickets should be printed with sequential numbering on the body and the stub, and what more do you need to hold a prize draw? A Raffle Ticket that comes with the price of admission is a value-added reward for your guests, and helps to boost ticket sales. Just remind your guests to hold on to their ticket stubs. You can drop the body of the ticket into a hat, from which you’ll draw the winning number.
Game Piece
Print a few different designs, and let each Event Ticket stand as a game piece for some activity at your event. You might use them to divide guests into groups, or to lead them to other parts of the event. The image might be a clue in a game, or a picture of an item in a scavenger hunt. Uploading your own image to a ticket with a space for that purpose really allows you to customize the event. Make it whatever you want.
Security
Don’t worry about gatecrashers. Using Event Tickets, or even Event Badges, helps you keep the venue secure. You can restrict access to certain areas, or quickly double check if someone has paid for a ticket. Printing different tickets, or adding VIP Passes, lets you scale your security: certain tickets provide certain levels of mobility. No ticket, no access.
You’ve got to have tickets for most events, just to serve as proof of purchase. And if you’re already printing your own Event Tickets online, why not spend a little extra time putting those tickets to work for you?
Need a little help getting those donor wallets open and jump starting event ticket sales? Maybe you haven’t provided a great enough incentive. Give your supporters the gift of glamor: make your next fundraiser a fabulous casino night. Recreate the allure of Monte Carlo and start selling event tickets for your casino night.
You’ll need:
• A crew of eager volunteers
• Games of chance (call a local party supply company for rentals)
• A passel of donated prizes
• A venue of sufficient size
• Flashy print publicity
• Some event ticket printing
If your organization supports it, a cash bar will truly make the night successful. You can boost bar sales with Drink Tickets. Remember: inebriated gamblers are your most profitable gamblers.
Start by determining whether there is interest in this night among your group. Once you have enough support, you can start rounding up the volunteers. Take some time to ascertain which skills each volunteer possesses, and then dole out the tasks. Events flow more efficiently if everyone has their own job. Decide whether your volunteers will work the game tables—many party supply companies will also supply the croupiers and dealers.
Meet regularly with your team to check on progress. This will help you see, in advance, if you’ve assigned the proper tasks to the right people. Make a schedule: who will book the venue, and when? How will you distribute event tickets? If there is to be live entertainment, that must also be arranged. Of course, it wouldn’t be a casino night without fabulous prizes.
Your best bet is to start early and look for impressive donations. However, even if nobody has the courtesy to offer you a speedboat or a big screen HDTV, don’t despair. Keep asking. Ask local business owners if they would be willing to make a donation in exchange for extra publicity (you can mention them as sponsors on your event tickets, in the event program, and in other forums, wherever you promote the event). If you get a lot of great donations, amp up your fundraising ability by adding a prize draw to the event. Then you can start selling raffle tickets well in advance, and add another fun component to the night as you announce the winners.
When you print up your event tickets, you can create matching event collateral at the same time: flyers and posters, invitation and raffle tickets. Printing event tickets and matching event kits really helps you get your publicity going. Announce your casino fundraising event:
• In your print or email newsletter
• To your mailing list, using printed invitation
• On your website and allied forums
• Via a press release, sent to all local news outlets
When your guests are ready for a fun day or night out, they dress the part. A reggae festival brings with it comfortable ensembles, bright colors and dance ready wear. For a fair or carnival, good shoes for walking and a T-shirt you don’t mind getting a little grease from an elephant ear on are more appropriate. A symphony concert might command something more refined, a tie or an elegant gown. And, the accessory that goes with all of them? A custom DuPontTyvek® wristband!
You Don’t Have to Leave Fashion Behind
When planning your opus event, you don’t have to leave fashion behind! Event Wristbands can be customized to fit any occasion and any audience. Whether your guests walk in straight from the streets or all dressed up as haute elites, you can design and print custom paper bracelets to fit their style and serve your purpose.
For your reggae crowd, go bright with festival wristbands in a variety of colors. Red, yellow, and green wrist bands are the perfect way to show off a little Rasta pride and allow you to manage your crowd effectively, while staying in the groove of the event.
Fairs and carnivals can benefit, too. Manage admission to special events and rides with festive carnival wristbands and make it easier than ever to keep your event secure without sacrificing any of the fun.
You can keep it understated for your fashion forward crowd. Custom wristbands in complementary colors, ensure their outfits won’t clash with the collateral and help you maintain an orderly and dignified event.
Make Art of Wristbands
Of course, you can choose to print Event Wristbands in just one color or you can add your own design, making them one of a kind and even more coveted by your fashionistas! There is room for your own unique image. Imagine your stylish logo or event branding gracing the wrists of hundreds or thousands of guests!
Green is the New Black
If your guests are style conscious, they’ll appreciate the fact that Tyvek® is recyclable. Green is definitely in this season, so show off your commitment to environmental sustainability by giving your guests the option to reduce waste and recycle when they depart the venue.
Function and Form
Tyvek® wristbands for events aren’t just the sought after ornament of your fashion forward guests. They also serve a number of important functions during your big occasion. From security to crowd control, they help your event run smoothly from start to finish.
Not only do they help you to identify who should be at the venue, they allow you to make sure the right guests are in the right places. A coveted backstage visit or special event can be managed quickly and easily, simply by checking the color of your guests’ admission wristbands. If you’re serving drinks, bar wristbands help to make sure that younger guests are not able to imbibe. For added security, you can include sequential numbering or a holographic design in order ensuring authenticity.
Style on a Dime
You don’t have to break the bank in order to print custom wristbands for your event. Inexpensive Tyvek® wristbands can be designed and printed online. Order them in bulk and you may qualify for an added discount. You’ll have revenue left over to buy that fancy outfit you were planning to wear to your successful event!
If you’ve ever attended a big event, chances are you’ve were outfitted with a DuPontTyvek® wristband at the gate. And, chances are, everyone around you had one firmly secured around his or her wrist as well. Admission wristbands have become ubiquitous at festivals and other occasions where they serve many purposes.
Admission, Crowd Control, and Re-entry
Event Wristbands, at their most basic, get guests quickly and safely into the venue. Once inside the event, they provide guests more freedom of movement and provide attendants and security with an easy way to determine whether they should be there. Rather than fumbling for ticket stubs or showing off an entry stamp that might be easily smeared or washed off, guests can simply flash their paper bracelets for identification. If for some reason a guest needs to leave the venue and return, the event wristband makes it simple. Securely fastened in place, Tyvek® wristbands are durable and last the length of the event.
Security
Event Wristbands help to ensure a secure environment while the event is taking place. They can be printed in a variety of colors or printed with a variety of images to make identification even simpler. From managing who has access to alcoholic beverages, to who is allowed backstage, to which guests are allowed into restricted events, security bracelets make it much easier for you to maintain the safety of your event and help to ensure everyone has a great time.
Event Branding and Sponsor Advertising
Custom made wristbands can be designed with branding, sponsorship, and advertising in mind. Guests have to pay attention to the message because, for the duration of the event, it is a part of them. Tyvek® is printable, so they can be designed to carry the overall branding of the event. If your organization has a logo or a theme for its annual affair, it can be included.
The space can also be used to pay homage to event sponsors. They’ve graciously donated money and time to see your event become a success. Why not donate space so they can promote their message?
Promotional Coupons
Event Wristbands can also play double duty as promotional coupons. Sponsors or advertisers can choose to offer special discounts for guests wearing your wristbands at the time of sale. In this way, these devices provide a usefulness that extends far beyond the venue of your festival or carnival.
Raffles and Door Prizes
Tyvek® wristbands can be individually numbered and printed with a holographic strip that keeps them secure, making them are ideal for managing raffles and door prizes at bigger events. Organizers can run the event much like a traditional raffle, drawing from a pool of number printed on the admission wristbands. Guests need not worry about losing their ticket stub over the course of the day when they can wear their entry into a raffle or door prize competition around their wrists!
Keepsakes
When guests attend an event that they enjoy, they want to take something with them that will help them to remember. Many individuals collect custom wristbands from events they’ve attended, so they can relive the memories later on.
You're preparing for a big crowd, and you want to manage it effectively. Event tickets get your guests through the turnstiles, but you want to make sure you can keep your attendees organized once they're at your venue. For this purpose, Tyvek ® wristbands are the perfect tool.
What is Tyvek ®?
Tyvek ® is a non-woven, synthetic material, with qualities of both plastic and paper, manufactured by Dupont ™. It can be printed on like paper, but it's durable like plastic, resisting folding, bending and tearing. It's strong, but lightweight and comfortable. Guests wearing admission wristbands made of this material may be surprised to learn that it is also waterproof, so your event can go on whether it rains or shines.
Tyvek ® is not only used for event wristbands. It can be found in construction materials, car and boat covers, advertising banners and posters, shipping envelopes, packaging for medical equipment and protective clothing. It has even been used by some designers as a material for fashion collections.
Tyvek ® Can be Upcycled and Recycled
One of the big draws of this material is that it can be reused and recycled. The material has found a strong following among crafters and "upcyclers" (individuals who creatively repurpose used materials). One need only do a quick search on the internet to find a myriad of Tyvek ® reuse projects on DIY websites. From durable wallets made from reclaimed envelopes, to ponchos, purses, tents, and kites, Tyvek ® can be reused in countless creative ways.
Another benefit of this material is that it is recyclable. When you use wristbands at your big event, you can ask guests to return them at the end of the day. Made of polyethylene, similar to the material that plastic bottles are made from, this product is fully recyclable. Both you and your guests will feel better knowing that your event wristbands will be put to good reuse. You can find out more about how to recycle Tyvek ® by visiting the Dupont ™ website
Keeping Your Event Secure With Tyvek ® Wristbands
Wristbands can be found in a variety of colors, so that you can organize particular groups of guests. Whether you want to keep your underage attendees from sidling up to the bar or get your VIP guests into a backstage gathering, the brightly colored event wristbands can be used to quickly and effectively discern who should be where.
If you want to brand this material with a particular logo or text, brand away. Tyvek ® wristbands are best suited to inkjet printing which will not smear or rub. So when you decide to print event wristbands, you can submit your unique graphic to be included in their design. You can also order custom security wristbands that feature sequential numbering and unique holographic foils for quick visual checks. This helps prevent imposters from entering your venue without paying.
Tyvek ® wristbands make use of a tamper-proof adhesive when fitted to an attendee's wrist. They can be attached securely and snugly. Because they resist tearing, they cannot be removed without destroying the wristband, so individuals can't exchange one band for another or pass a used wristband on to a friend.
A Unique Material for a Unique Event
When you're ready to ensure the security of a big event design, print and buy Tyvek ® wristbands. Made of a unique material, they are both cost effective and secure. You can order and print cheap custom wristbands online using your own custom logos and text. Your event is special, and it takes a special material to help manage it!
