Step-by-Step Guide For Designing Custom Vinyl Wristbands

Here are the quick and easy steps to use our interactive wristband design tool to create branded vinyl wristbands.

Step 1: Choose Colours, Materials & Style

 

Start by selecting the style of your wristband — choose between L-shaped or Tabbed closure options to suit your event’s needs.

Next, pick your vinyl type:

  • Glossy — shiny and bright

  • Matt — smooth and understated

  • Reflex — reflective for visibility

Then, select an icon for the vinyl tabbed icon if needed: None, Drink, Food, or Number 123 — these help identify access or permissions at your event.

Finally, pick from over 30 colour options to match your brand or event palette.

 

Step 2: Add Your Text

 

Now it’s time to add your message. Choose your font style and size, then type in your text — this could be the event name, brand slogan, or a theme phrase. Make sure the text is clear and easy to read on the vinyl material.

Step 3: Upload Your Logo or Artwork

 

Add your logo or artwork to personalise your wristbands. Upload the file directly in the design tool or email it to us at info@maltawristbands.com. For best results, use high-resolution images.

Use the dropdown menu to position your logo where it looks best.

 

 

Step 4: Select Quantity, Add to Cart & Checkout

Choose your order quantity — from 100 to 10,000 vinyl wristbands — and add them to your cart. Review your design and price, then proceed to checkout.

You can pay securely via PayPal or Stripe.

Choose delivery to your doorstep or pick up your order from our office, Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM.

Pro Tip: Use the Drag-and-Drop Design Tool

 

Our drag-and-drop feature makes customising easy. Just upload your logo, add your text, position everything with a few clicks, and watch your custom vinyl wristband design come to life in real time.

No design skills needed — create professional-looking vinyl wristbands effortlessly!

 

Vinyl Tabbed wristband Example:

Tabbed vinyl wristbands come with tear-off tabs — ideal for drink tokens, meal vouchers, or activity tracking at events.

In the designer, you can customise both the main band and the tab area, allowing you to include logos, numbers, or short text on each tear-off section. This adds both function and branding to your wristband design.

 

 

L-Shaped Wristbands Example:

L-shaped vinyl wristbands feature an extended printable area, giving you more space to include longer text, detailed logos, or QR codes.

The drag-and-drop tool allows you to arrange elements along the full length of the band — great for when you want a bold, visible design that stands out.

Production Time & Delivery Options

We offer both standard & express delivery options to suit your timeline. Standard production typically takes around two weeks, while our express service can have your wristbands ready within just one week. Simply let us know how urgent your order is and select the express delivery option during checkout.
