Choosing the Right Custom Rubber Bracelet


Custom Rubber Bracelet

Undoubtedly, you have seen
rubber bracelets being spor
ted on the wrists of all sorts
of people. The younger crowds
love them, but they are not the
only people that are enjoying
the fashion trend of wearing
their own choice of custom rub
ber bracelets. The silicone bra
celets offered at many fundrai
sers carry inspirational messa
ges. Other custom rubber bra
celets serve as unique forms of
advertisement by companies
building their business. Custom
rubber bracelets are even a favo
rite for family gatherings as party
favors and for raising enthusiasm
at sporting events.

Whether silicone wristbands
come from fundraising, adver
tising, or special events, people
like to wear them to express
their thoughts of support or to
make a statements by wearing
these new phenomenon custom
rubber bracelets.

Figuring out the various silicone
wristbands styles.

Debossed silicone wristbands
require a custom mold to be
created that is manufactured
with the desired design. The
message is then molded into the
silicone rubber of the wristband.
Debossed bracelets are the most
universally worn custom rubber
bracelet. The need for a custom
mold causes these to be just a
tad more expensive if you are
ordering a smaller quantity of
the custom rubber bracelets.

Embossed silicone wristbands are
not quite as common as debossed
bracelets, although they do hold
their own charm as a custom rub
ber bracelet. Embossed bracelets
also feature the use of a custom
made mold. The difference is that
the message is raised up off the
silicone bracelet rather than being
imprinted down into the rubber.
The price and turnaround time
of embossed bracelets is compa
rable to debossed bracelets.

Printed silicone wristbands are
created by first making a custom
designed template. The template
is placed over the rubber bracelet
and the message is silk-screen
printed with a special dye that
penetrates the silicone wristband.
A custom-made printed rubber
bracelet is durable enough to last
quite awhile without chipping or
flaking. Since there is no extra ex
pense of using a custom mold, prin
ted rubber bracelets are usually
less expensive and have a faster
turnaround that debossed and
embossed silicone bracelets.

Laser-Engraved silicone wrist
bands are created by use of a
laser-engraving machine. Laser
engraving is a form of the debos
sed style of finish. The exact spe
cifications of the custom message
and logo are laser-engraved onto
a blank rubber bracelet. Laser
-engraved custom rubber bra
celets are becoming more widely
popular. Without the need of a
custom mold, laser-engraved
bracelets have the benefit of
quicker turnaround times at
an affordable price.

Custom debossed silicone wrist
bands can also be color-filled,
which provide an eye-catching
contrast of colors. It is a bit more
expensive, but will worth the price
if you are looking to stand out
in the crowd.

Along with the choices of several
custom rubber bracelet styles,
there are also a wide variety of
colors and color combinations that
are possible. Color has symbolic
meaning, and color meaning often
aids in the choice of rubber bracelets.

White is preferred color by most
church groups to share their inspi
rational message. Blue is a favorite
for sporting events and pink is used
to bring about awareness of women's
health issues. Green is used to sym
bolize the donation of body organs,
while red is used as a sign of AIDS
awareness or support. Black is nor
mally worn for formal reasons,
such as with funerals.

There are plenty of choices of
custom rubber bracelets, and
really no way you could go wrong
with such a plethora of selections.
The best choice of a custom rubber
bracelet is in the end, of course,
always a matter of personal
preference.
