How to Design Custom Tyvek Wristbands: A Step-by-Step Guide

Tyvek wristbands are a go-to solution for crowd control, single-day events, and admissions—lightweight, tamper-proof, and super easy to customise. Whether you're hosting a concert, managing access at a festival, or organising a charity event, custom Tyvek wristbands offer both style and security at an affordable price.

Here’s a simple guide to help you design the perfect Tyvek wristbands with Malta Wristbands.

 

 

TYVEK WRISTBANDS CUSTOMISATION GUIDE

Step 1: Choose Your Tyvek Type & Style

Start by selecting the type of Tyvek wristband that best suits your event needs:

  • Standard – Reliable and cost-effective for general use. If you choose the standard wristband type, you can go bold with fun patterns like Stripey, Zebra, or Checked to make your wristbands pop.

  • Litter-Free – Designed to reduce waste by eliminating the tab that’s usually torn off. In this type, you have solid colour options and stripey patterns available.

  • Biodegradable – An eco-conscious option for environmentally friendly events. For this type of wristband, you can design only in solid colours.
     

Next, pick from a vibrant palette of 16 solid colours. 

Want a clean, professional finish? You can also choose to remove the Malta Wristbands branding from your bands—just toggle the option to "Yes."

Step 2: Add Your Text & Customise Colours

Once you’ve chosen your style, it’s time to make the wristbands yours. Add custom text—like your event name, date, or a catchy slogan—and select your preferred font and print colour. Whether you want something bold or subtle, you’ve got plenty of design freedom to make your wristbands match your brand or theme.

Step 3: Add Logos & Artwork

Take your design up a notch by including your logo or custom artwork. Here’s how to make it shine:

  • Upload a high-resolution file (PNG or GIF with a transparent background, max 2 MB).

  • Position your logo to the left of the text, or use the drag-and-drop tool for more control.

  • For best results, print in black, especially on coloured bands. Remember, full colour prints look best on white wristbands, and white areas in your design will show as the band colour underneath.

Need to add more than one logo or want to fine-tune the layout? Our drag-and-drop designer is your best bet—it’s intuitive, flexible, and shows a real-time preview of your wristband.

 

 

Step 4: Finalise Your Order & Checkout

Once your Tyvek wristband design looks spot on, it’s time to wrap things up. Choose the quantity that fits your needs—whether it's a small order of 100 or a bulk order in the thousands. The more you order, the more you save with our flexible pricing.
