Eco Wristbands

Our Eco Wristbands range gives event organisers more material choices without compromising custom design or practical event use. The collection includes products made with recycled polyester and RPET, as well as plant-based materials such as bamboo, organic cotton and hemp.

Options range from classic woven and printed festival wristbands to RFID-compatible designs and wristbands made with reclaimed ocean-bound plastic.

Material composition, available closures and minimum quantities vary by product, making it easier to select an option that fits your event requirements and sustainability priorities.

Bamboo Wristbands
Product

Bamboo Wristbands

Bamboo gives these wristbands a comfortable, soft feel and an eco-friendly profile; paired with a wooden smart tag, the combination is completely plastic-free while retaining full RFID capability. Choose any Pantone colour for a screen-printed design in up to four colours. The natural, plant-based material is hypoallergenic like cotton and develops character over time, similarly to denim, and production avoids harmful chemicals. Because the material de-threads easily and the ends cannot be melted, do not cut the ends once the closure is tightened. Minimum order is 1,000 pieces, in 15 × 350 mm or 20 × 350 mm, with custom sizes also available.

Organic Cotton Wristbands
Product

Organic Cotton Wristbands

Organic Cotton Wristbands use cotton grown without synthetic pesticides, fertilisers or other harsh chemicals, making the fabric gentler on sensitive skin and allergies. Compared with conventional cotton, the organic farming behind it uses around 91% less water, produces fewer greenhouse gas emissions, preserves biodiversity and maintains healthier soil. Available in 15 x 350 mm or 20 x 350 mm (custom sizes on request), any Pantone colour, and silk screen printed in one to four colours. Closures include oval or flat plastic lock, aluminium lock, or wooden, plastic or metal bead. Minimum order 300 pieces; production takes approximately three weeks.

Hemp wristband
Product

Hemp wristband

This wristband blends organic cotton with hemp, building on our original hemp wristband with a softer feel for all-day wear while keeping the same environmental benefits. The organic cotton and hemp combination cuts CO2 emissions by around 80% compared with polyester-based alternatives, and organic cotton uses about 10% of the water needed for conventional cotton farming. The finished wristband decomposes in around 6 months under ideal conditions. It is available in any Pantone colour, sized 15 x 350 mm or 20 x 350 mm, with a minimum order of 100 pieces.

Eco Wristbands with Wooden RFID Tag
Product

Eco Wristbands with Wooden RFID Tag

This eco wristband pairs a bamboo, cotton or hemp band with a durable wooden RFID or NFC tag, reducing the use of conventional plastic components. Depending on the chip and system selected, the tag supports access control, identification and other compatible RFID or NFC applications. Wooden tags can be laser engraved, screen printed in a solid colour or offset printed in full colour. Choose the wristband material, closure and chip specification to match your event and technical requirements.

Recycled Ocean-Bound Plastic Wristband
Product

Recycled Ocean-Bound Plastic Wristband

This fabric wristband is made from reclaimed ocean-bound plastic, collected from areas where plastic is at risk of reaching the ocean, and certified to the OCEAN BOUND PLASTIC RECYCLING STANDARD V2.2 for documented traceability of the recycled content. It combines practical access control with a clear material story for events. The wristband can be personalised on both sides in full colour with digital printing, in a standard 15 x 350 mm size or an optional 20 x 350 mm (subject to material availability), and finished with a closure chosen from the available options.

Hi, I’m Nemo! I’ve been watching closely as these wristbands are made and the materials are selected, so they gave me a job. Apparently, I have to work for my kibble now that I’m all grown up! They even gave me a title: Nordic Wristbands’ two-braincell customer service specialist. I’m not sure about that. Anyway, answer a few quick questions, and I’ll match you with the right material. I’ve seen Jone do it!

Two ways in, drawn from what our customers order year after year. Pick the kind of event, or pick what the credential actually has to do — access, cashless, season or brand. Each one lists the materials that keep coming back for that job, not the whole range.
