Accessories: Wristband Patterns
June 19th, 2008Companies sometimes prefer to have very differentiated wristband patterns. Many travel companies will have large groups in the same vacation spots. Having different wristband patterns allows each company to remain distinct from the others.
Wristband patterns are used in group packages. A travel company will usually have a deal with a different restaurant or bar each night, and their specific wristband will get you in. They want to make sure that another companys wristbands are not similar, otherwise they would be letting people in at their own expense.
Colored Wristband Patterns
Most companies will choose colors that are distinct from those of other agencies with groups in the area. For popular vacation spots, such as Cancun and Hawaii, some colors may be duplicated among groups. That is why it is a better idea to go with wristband patterns instead of a solid color.
Each company will also have different variations of its wristbands for such things as VIPs and group representatives. If the company decides to simply print letters indicating VIP status on the band, it is really quite easy to forage. This is why a different set of wristband patterns works better than having writing or a symbol on the same pattern. You want to make your design as complicated and unique as possible, to deter forgers and keep outsiders from tagging along in your group.
