For higher-security solutions, non-transferable plastic wristbands can be worn for longer periods of time. Plastic wristbands are an excellent option for water parks, hotels, all-inclusive resorts, beaches, and amusement parks. Your guests will not have to worry about their wristbands easily tearing off or getting lost because plastic wristbands feature a one-time locking snap so the wristband stays secure on the wrist for as long as needed. Plastic wristbands are also great for swimming pools and water rides because they are durable and do not deteriorate after becoming wet—even for extended periods of time.

Glitter and holographic wristbands are also loved by kids and teenagers because they sparkle and shimmer under all types of lighting—indoors and outside. They even glimmer and shine under water, and are made from sturdy vinyl that will not fall apart in a swimming pool, ocean, or lake. There are four different holographic styles to choose from including: rain, confetti, liquid glitter, and stars.
