Customers visiting our website are now able to Design Silicone Wristbands by using the brand new tool that has just been launched. The new year sees a new feature added to the site that has been in testing for a number of weeks before finally launching recently. This was the most challenging project so far as there are 3 different types of silicone bands available and they are all available via the website. With this addition we are now delighted that our 3 main products can be customized online and ordered at any time of the day or night. For those that still require assistance our sales team will of course be available during office hours, but the online tool is very simple to use and should help customers place orders for Tyvek, fabric and now silicone wristbands.
The interactive feature allows users to customize all features of the wristband, starting off from the base colour. This can be chosen from our colour wheel and then matched to any corporate colour scheme to create consistency for any organisation. Different shades of each colour are available and customers can even inform us of an exact pantone code to ensure the colour matches their requirements. Once this done, the next step to Design Silicone Wristbands is where users are encouraged to upload the items that they want included on the band. This can be in the form of logo/s and text and even more complex items such as QR codes. All elements can be dragged across the wristband surface and the live preview will show what the final product will look like.
We have created the online tool so that users who want to create customized wristbands for charities or fundraising events can do so. These are the most popular types of uses for silicone bands, which can also be worn by sports teams or used at schools to separate groups of children. The interactive online designer can be used for all 3 types of finishes and for both simple and complex designs. If a user just requires a simple line of text such as ‘CHARITY WALK 2022’ then this can be done by adding text and choosing the font, colour and size. More complex designs can include various logos and text – but we recommend that designs are get as simple as possible for best results when worn.
Click here to Design Silicone Wristbands in Malta with the best prices on the island and production time of about 10-14 days from confirmation of order. Many people consider silicone wristbands to be one product – the ones that are commonly used by charities. However, there are actually 3 popular types of silicone bands – and all of them are slightly different from the other. Our silicone wristband page has more information about each type and how they differ, but we summarize the key points below. Printed silicone bands are the most popular type as they are quickly produced and often the cheapest option. It is ideal for detailed designs including logos that are more than one colour. The production method uses ink to print the required design onto the wristband surface. A note that designs with more than one colour print will incur additional charges and may also take longer in production.
Debossed bands are a great long term option where the text or logo is engraved into the band. We recommend this only for simple designs such as text only because this method does not include any different colours between the engraving and the band itself. So it is quite difficult to make out logos unless they are very bold and one dimensional. The design will appear as the same colour as the wristband and this means it does not stand out .
The debossed colourfil method is very similar to the debossed finish but in this instance we add a different colour to the engraved areas for an eye catching end product. This method is our premium option and customers opt for this because it is highly durable and gives great flexibility. There are additional costs for each extra colour used in this production.
Customers who want to design silicone wristbands in Malta can use our online tool to create a unique product for all 3 types of bands. Infact this is the first step when using the online tool – choosing which type of finish is required, before moving on and creating a unique design. We have made the process as simple as possible, but to help those who may be using the feature for the first time we have listed below a simple 5 step process. The steps are easy to follow and we have even included some screen shots showing the different stages. Should you run into any problems whilst trying to use the tool feel free to reach out to our sales team who will be happy to help. They are available during office hours either via the live chat feature on the website, by calling 99990566 or by emailing info@maltawristbands.com.
We do our very best to meet our customers deadlines and manage expectations for every order. Production time for customized silicone wristbands are 10-14 days from when the order is received and confirmed. If the order is particularly complex with either multiple sizes or variable data such as sequential numbering the production process may take slightly longer. Please contact us prior to ordering if the deadline for your event is within the next 14 days. The minimum order for personalised silicone bands is 100 units and the price starts at €0.95 each item. For larger orders over 500 units there are bulk discounts which mean the price can come down to as little as €0.30 each.

Step 1 – Visit the interactive designer page here and select the type of finish from our 3 most popular options; printed, debossed or debossed + colourfil
Step 2 – Once the page loads, the wristband colour should automatically default to red colour. To change the colour simply click onto the wristband surface (currently red) and then click the bucket tool. This will load a small up containing a colour wheel and customers can choose the required colour from the right panel. The shade of the colour can then be selected to match any specific scheme. For our example order we have selected the neon green, which is a popular eye catching colour and stands out when the band is worn.
Step 3 – Once you have chosen the colour of the band, it is now time to begin adding text and logos as applicable using the buttons as per the image. We suggest adding text elements first and placing them as required to see what room is left for any other items. Text items can be edited by clicking onto them and then changing the font, size and colour as applicable. Click and drag the text boxes across the wristband surface and move it to the left or right depending on how the design should appear. Customers can upload images or logos onto the band as long as they are not too large in size. A reminder that any logos or images that contain more than one colour will incur additional costs. Once all the text and images are added, users can drag them into place until happy with the design that will be previewed on screen. For our example we have added simple text in one colour – which often gives best results rather than cluttering the band with too much information. If you need to look at your design in more details use the zoom button for a close up view. Similarly there is an undo button – to be used when things are not looking how you had in mind.
Step 4 – The preview on screen should show the customized silicone wristband design that you are happy to proceed with and purchase. Customers must now choose which size they want the wristband to be. The 3 main sizes available are shown as per the screen shot below and are as you would expect. The adult size is 202mm in width and recommend for anyone aged 18 or over. The teenager size is 180mm and used mainly for age range of roughly 13-17 years old. Lastly the kids size is 170mm and for children of 8-12 years. For customers looking to order wristbands for children younger than 8 we also supply 160mm as a size but this is very small and we recommend contacting our sales team after the order is confirmed.
Step 5 – The last step in the process is to confirm the required quantity of wristbands and adding them to the shopping cart. As mentioned previously, the minimum order for customized silicone bands is 100 units. By increasing the amount of wristbands in the cart, the overall unit price will come down, especially over 500 units. The cart section will summarise the products that are ready to be purchased including a preview of how they appear and the size. From here, customers can proceed to the checkout or return and continue shopping to add other items.
The 5 steps mentioned above are a guide to help anyone create and Design Silicone Wristbands for any organisation. The first choice to make is which of the types of finish best suit the design you have in mind and then moving from there. We produce all our customized silicone bands from scratch meaning a special mould is created for each one. We can assist for whatever your requirements are; either a small order for a personal fundraising event or a large scale public awareness campaign. As the growth in QR codes continues the online tool allows users to upload QR codes and incorporate these into the design. This then lets people scan the code and visit a website that is linked to the campaign or cause.
Additional elements can be added to designs such as barcodes or sequential numbering but as each of these requires bespoke setup we ask you to speak to our sales team if you require any such items. If you have artwork ready and wish for us to confirm its suitability we can do this, please submit in PDF, JPG or PNG format together with any other information or requirements. If you are creating your own artwork please note that the standard dimensions for an adult wristband are 202mm in total length and 12mm in height. We also supply wider sizes of 15mm and 20mm on request at additional costs.
