Customize and order festival wristbands—directly from the Austrian manufacturer

Heliotextil is your Austrian manufacturer of custom fabric festival wristbands—woven, printed, sustainable, or equipped with RFID.

With over 200 years of expertise in weaving technology and more than 20 years of specialization in textile event wristbands, Heliotextil is one of Europe’s most experienced manufacturers. Having produced more than 50 million festival wristbands for customers in over 50 countries, Heliotextil stands for proven quality, comprehensive expertise, and reliable solutions for events of all sizes.

What are festival wristbands?

Our festival wristbands, certified to the OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100, are high-quality, custom-designed fabric admission wristbands. They are used at festivals, open-air events, concerts, sporting events, in VIP and hospitality areas, amusement parks, hotels, and resorts, as well as at trade shows and conventions. There, they are used, for example, for access control, age verification, distinguishing between different access levels, or for re-entry checks.

Depending on your intended use and budget, you can choose between premium woven festival wristbands and economy printed admission wristbands.

For digital applications, festival wristbands can also be equipped with RFID technology, for example, for electronic access control, accreditation, or cashless payments.

Printed Festival Wristband: Detail

Various printed festival wristbands

Woven festival wristbands are the highest-quality option and, when combined with our patented fasteners, offer a particularly secure solution for admission control. Instead of printing on a backing material, the festival wristband is produced on a highly specialized loom by weaving together threads and yarns of different colors to create a custom design. Compared to printed admission wristbands, woven admission wristbands feature higher color intensity.

Printed festival wristbands are the more affordable option and work well for designs with color gradients, but they are of lower overall quality and don’t feel as premium as woven wristbands. Printed festival wristbands with our Economy clasp are suitable for events where security and the risk of tampering are less of a concern.

We deliver the festival wristbands pre-threaded into the clasp, packaged in standard packs of 50.

Prices

The unit price of custom-designed festival wristbands decreases significantly as the order quantity increases, since the fixed production costs are spread across an ever-larger number of units (economies of scale). For an order quantity of 40,000 pieces, a price of EUR 0.14 per festival wristband (plus VAT and shipping) is available in our Economy quality. Custom festival wristbands are available with a minimum order quantity of 300 pieces, while smaller quantities up to 1,000 pieces are covered by special flat-rate offers; the final price is always based on the total quantity, the number of different designs, the material (standard or Earth Friendly/sustainable), the production method (woven or printed festival wristbands), the clasp type, and the production structure.

At Heliotextil, we also design and supply customizable RFID festival wristbands that further enhance the visitor experience and streamline event operations.

An RFID system consists of a transponder (an individually printed RFID chip) that is pre-applied to the fabric festival wristband and contains a unique code, as well as a reader that uses a short-range radio signal to read this identifier.

Our RFID wristbands combine contactless technology, sustainable materials, and precise data encoding to enable cashless payments and improve access control and re-entry management at events and festivals worldwide.

Delivery from Austria to the EU:

As an Austrian manufacturer, we deliver directly within the EU single market. No customs duties are payable on intra-Community deliveries of goods from Austria.

For business customers with a valid VAT registration number, the delivery may be treated as a tax-exempt intra-Community supply, provided the legal requirements are met. In this case, no Austrian VAT will be charged.

Our customer service team will advise you personally on all queries regarding design, specification, materials, fastenings, quantities and delivery dates, and will be happy to provide you with a no-obligation quotation.

Delivery from Austria to countries outside the EU:
Deliveries to countries outside the European Union constitute an export to a third country. The export is therefore exempt from Austrian VAT.

Upon import into the respective countries, customs formalities and the applicable import tax are usually incurred. Due to numerous agreements between the EU and many countries, such as Switzerland, Norway, the United Kingdom, Canada and Japan, customs duties may not apply in some cases. For companies registered for tax purposes in the respective countries, the import tax can generally be claimed as input tax as part of their VAT return.

We usually issue invoices in EUR. Invoicing in USD, GBP or CHF is generally possible and can be checked in advance on request.
