Wristbands in the month of March

During the month of March, many are heading for Spring Break, elated with March Madness, begin the thaw out from those harsh winter months.  March also marks a month of appreciation for an organization which has been assisting those around the nation and abroad since its foundation in 1881; the organization is of course the Red Cross.  Time and time again when people are in need the Red Cross has been there with a blanket, food, and a welcomed hug or smile. Run completely by volunteers the American Red Cross has been the first to arrive at the scene of natural disasters, man-made disasters or when their community just has a need.

 Many civic and religious organizations find the time to lend a hand whether it is through monetary donations, volunteering their time, goods, and even blood.  Do you belong to a religious, student or civic organization wanting to make a difference in your community? Want to find a way to give back in your own community? Or simply are you one who likes to show your support for a worthy cause?

Fundraising with wristbands

Although it may be nontraditional using silicone wristbands and rubber bracelets to raise funds, it has been proven to one of the most effective fundraising methods out there for a few reasons.

First and foremost selling custom rubber bracelets and silicone wristbands allows for a much higher profit margin than a traditional box of candy, popcorn, or wrapping paper resulting in more revenue for the cause you are raising funds for.

Another reason to use wristbands to fund raise would be because you are able to give the person donating funds to your cause something they can wear that shows they support a cause. Another plus is wristband is a good that will  not go bad or get used up  and they can wear it forever which in return will spread your logo or message to new places.

Choosing the Right Font for Wristbands

Your message and reason for the custom silicone wristband your wear is unique to you. It may serve as a reminder for thanks, a memory of a love lost or simply to raise awareness. The font chosen to write your message is almost as import as the color choice.


Fonts offered by wristbands.net are numerous. Some look better than others on certain wristband styles and choosing a font for your message can be overwhelming. You may select a bold font or something less traditional and fun. Either way, the selection is important as your cause, message and reason is significant.

Wristbands.net would like to take the time to help with font selection. Often we are asked “What looks best”? Here are some simple suggestions for some of our different styles.

For traditional, solid, debossed wristbands, any font on our selection page is appropriate. However, when swirled bands are ordered, font selection is more important. Swirled wristbands are 2 color of silicone mixed or swirled together. Segmented wristbands are two silicone colors, adjacent or side by side each other.

Because of the nature of the swirl wristbands, a bold font selection is necessary so the message is legible. Such fonts include but are not limited to, IMPACT, Arial Black, Andy Bold, or Verdana. The fonts are bold and appear well against the swirled wristbands.

By contrast, fonts such as Papyrus, beach type or Script are not good selections because they are very ornate and thin. Given the 2 color swirl, these fonts do not appear well on the wristbands in a debossed or laser made style. The solution to this is to color fill the message text on the wristbands.

We offer many fonts on our website for you to choose from however, if you do not see the “perfect” one, let us know and we will add it for you! In addition, if you have a custom logo or typescript, we are able to print that as well.

If you are still uncertain of the perfect font selection for your unique message, please contact us! We are happy to guide you through the process!

Breast Cancer Silicone Awareness Rings

Silicone wristbands are a popular item and the chief silicone style offer by wristbands.net but did you know we stock breast cancer awareness rings?

A well know morning television hostess popularized this ring on her morning show 3 years ago after her diagnosis and survival. Since then, the request for these in single units boomed with calls inquiring where they could be purchased. As a result, wristbands.net decided to help meet the demand and offer them in single or bulk units. We are proud to say the sale of each ring benefits the Susan G. Komen Foundation. We use eBay's Giving Works program with MissionFish to make our donations.

These silicone rings are individually packaged for ease of distribution. They are pink with a simple, color filled pink ribbon in the center as you see in our blog’s image. These custom silicone rings are available in a woman’s size 7. These do stretch as silicone is pliable. As all of our custom silicone wristbands, they are 100% latex free.

These are available through eBay or by calling us at 1-800-433-1758 at this time. You may choose to order custom rings for your awareness campaigns by contacting us directly as these rings are not yet available for ordering online.

Embossed Wristbands Truly RAISE Awareness

There is often a lot of confusion between debossed wristbands and embossed wristbands at wristbands.net. To clarify, this blog will focus on the differences.


Debossed wristbands are the most recognized and ordered wristbands offered by wristbands.net. It is where the message is “sunken in” or imprinted in the wristbands. All of our wristband styles may be ordered as debossed wristbands including USB flash drives.

Embossed wristbands are where the text, logo and messages are raised above the surface of the wristbands. We use the same molding technique to create these as debossed wristbands. The difference is the mold is created with negative space. When the silicone is pressed into the mold, the impression is reversed and raised.

Like color filled debossed wristbands, embossed wristbands may have an alternate colored message. The message is cast in a mold in an alternate color. Once set, the message is transferred to the wristband and adhered to the wristband with silicone glue. The affect is a solid colored wristband with a separate, colored, raised message.

Embossed wristbands are unique indeed! These are often used for the visually impaired as the unique message can be raised in the braille alphabet. With this awareness, causes and any unique message can be spread to EVERYONE! There are truly no limits to your receiver!

Start raising awareness with RAISED embossed wristbands today! Please feel free to contact us with any comments, questions or concerns!
