RFID Wristbands
Festival wristbands with RFID chips
Whether large or small, more and more European events are switching to cashless payment processing.
As a quality leader and innovation pioneer, Heliotextil was the first provider in Europe to use the combination of two product worlds in the event market: the application of special RFID tags on high-quality festival wristbands made of fabric (woven festival wristbands).
An RFID system consists of a transponder (individually printed RFID chip plate), which is pre-applied to the festival wristband and contains an identifying code, as well as a reader to read this identifier
The woven festival wristbands are supplied ready with an applied RFID chip/platelet and closure from Heliotextil.
What are the advantages of festival wristbands with RFID chips for organizers and visitors of music festivals and events of all kinds?
- Convenient use of festival wristbands with RFID chips and RFID cards for cashless payment or access control through contactless data transmission, for example
- Highly secure encryption algorithms for optimum data protection
- The transponder of the festival wristbands with RFID chips and the RFID cards is located inside the card, thus ensuring protection against damage
Festival wristbands with RFID chips offer organizers and visitors of music festivals and events of all kinds the following options:
- additional protection against manipulation
- Faster access controls at the entrances
- Cashless payment
- Integration of social media
- Targeted advertising campaigns (brand activation)
Several renowned RFID system processors rely as partners on our many years of experience, quality and short delivery times at favorable prices.
We will be happy to recommend one of our partners who will take over RFID system processing and support.
If you already have a (regional) RFID partner, we can supply you with RFID wristbands and/or RFID cards of all common chip types, depending on your requirements. Heliotextil only uses high-quality NFC chips. The chips guarantee the highest security standard even with high usage, as well as guaranteed readability and rewritability after the 1000th transaction!
The UID number is lasered onto the back of the RFID chip plate as standard

In addition to RFID tags for festival wristbands, we also offer all types of RFID cards (cashless cards) with all common chip types, depending on your requirements. These are individually printed (4-color direct printing). Many extras are available, such as double-sided printing, hole punching, encoding, and chip initialization.
Furthermore, we can equip our RFID cards with additional security features such as magnetic stripes, signature fields, barcodes, QR codes, serial numbers, PINs, scratch-off panels, holograms, and embossing.
Please note that, unlike RFID wristbands, RFID cards are transferable.
