How do I design my RFID Products?
We made it super simple on purpose. On each product page, there’s a downloadable template (the appropriate one for that product) with the specs you need to design your artwork around. We recommend using Adobe Illustrator or Adobe Photoshop. Note that if you’re designing a woven wristband, you have to use Adobe Illustrator so you can send in vector artwork. If none of that makes sense, just get in touch so our team of designers can help make your design a reality.

First, let’s start with Tyvek. Tyvek is a brand of flashspun, high-density polyethylene fibers (which are a synthetic material that’s a lot like paper, but it’s also water and tear resistant).

We have a wide variety of in-stock colors and patterns, or you can print a full color design on our patent pending (!!!) Easy Stick tapered wristbands.

We take security seriously and all our bands offer a high baseline level of security, no matter what.
