It’s no wonder the demand for custom fabric wristbands is booming. They’re perfect for concerts, sports matches, conferences, and more—designed to suit your exact needs. With countless options in design, colour schemes, weaving styles, and security features, fabric wristbands offer flexibility like no other.

The best part? Customising fabric wristbands is simple and impactful. Here’s a step-by-step guide to designing fabric wristbands that are as eye-catching as they are practical.

 

 

Step-by-Step Guide For Designing Custom Fabric Wristbands

Use our interactive wristband design tool to customise your wristband.

Step 1: Choose Your Colours and Materials

 

Start by picking your base colour—there are over 40 vibrant colour options to match your brand, event, or theme. Next, choose your fabric type. You can go with the standard sublimated polyester material or opt for an eco-friendly recycled option if sustainability is a priority.

Don't forget the closure! You can select from:

  • Black barrel lock – secure and adjustable - non-removable once worn

  • Black bead – simple and stylish - removable and transferable

  • Metal bead – sleek and durable without plastic - removable and transferable

Each adds a different finishing touch depending on the look and feel you’re going for.

Step 2: Add Your Text

 

 

Now it’s time to get your message across. Whether it’s your event name, brand slogan, or a catchy phrase, choose your font style, adjust the font size, and type in your custom text. This is where you make it personal—bold and readable goes a long way on fabric!

 

 

Step 3: Upload Your Logo or Artwork

 

 

 

Add a visual element to make your wristbands stand out. You can either upload your logo or artwork directly, or if it’s easier, email it separately to us at info@maltawristbands.com. Make sure your design is high-resolution for the best quality weave. Additionally, you can select the position of the artwork or logo.

 

 

Step 4: Select Quantity, Add to Cart & Checkout
