Custom Fabric Wristbands For Events — Woven & Dye-Sub

Custom fabric wristbands for events are durable, stylish, and secure—even at busy festival and stadiums. We make woven and dye-sublimated wristbands in bulk for multi-day use. They’re comfortable to wear, built to last, and ready for RFID, QR or barcodes, and sequential numbering.

Why Choose Arnett's Cloth Wristbands?

Custom cloth wristbands are the most secure and comfortable choice for multi-day events. Whether you’re running a music festival, sports tournament, or corporate gathering, these customized wristbands combine durability, branding, and security in one solution.

Tamper Proof & Tear-Resistant

Our woven cloth wristbands use a non-twist barrel lock and strong fabric that can’t be removed without cutting. This prevents pass-backs and keeps entry points secure.

Comfortable All-Day Wear

Made from soft fabric, these cloth event wristbands are lightweight and breathable. They stay comfortable through heat, sweat, and long hours—making them a major upgrade from paper or plastic bands.

Secure Access Control

Add RFID tags, QR codes, or barcodes for precise access management. Each wristband can be uniquely numbered to ensure smooth check-ins and prevent fraud.

Memorable Keepsake

High-quality fabric and full-color printing turn festival wristbands into souvenirs guests want to keep—extending your brand visibility long after the event.

Custom Cloth Wristband FAQs

Cloth wristbands are a convenient and secure alternative to digital or paper wristbands and tickets. They’re an ideal solution for multi-day events, conventions, sporting events, or any other ticketed occasion. Depending on your needs, our durable cloth wristbands can serve a range of purposes. They can be used for secure entry, to pay for refreshments and merchandise at cashless events, and more.

Yes, cloth wristbands are extremely secure. Unlike standard digital or paper tickets, our custom wristbands are a unique and tamper-proof security solution. We offer a range of methods to ensure your cloth wristbands are impossible to duplicate. Explore customizable security options like sequential numbering, QR codes, barcodes, RFID tags, and more.


Our cloth wristbands are adjustable to accommodate a range of wrist sizes, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit for every event-goer. Shop single-use cloth wristbands with barrel lockers, which can slide to tighten to a comfortable size, but cannot slide backwards to loosen. Conversely, explore reusable cloth wristbands with sliders that can be tightened and loosened according to your attendees’ needs.

The ability to reuse a cloth wristband depends on its design. Single-use cloth wristbands with barrel locks are intended for one-time use only and must be cut off and discarded after the event. On the other hand, reusable cloth wristbands are designed to be worn, removed, and reused as needed, offering a more flexible option for multi-day events.

Single-use cloth wristbands cannot be torn due to their durable material. They must be cut with a pair of scissors for removal. In contrast, reusable cloth wristbands can be easily loosened and removed without causing any damage. This allows attendees to keep their wristbands as mementos or reuse them for future events, depending on their needs.
