How to Design Your Emergency Contact Bands
In the whirlwind of family outings, field trips, and summer vacations, ensuring the safety of loved ones, especially children and adults with special needs, is paramount. One simple yet effective way to enhance safety during these excursions is by utilizing personalized wristbands with emergency contact information. At RapidWristbands.com we have great ideas for you on how to give the gift of safety with your own customized Silicone Wristbands and Tyvek Wristbands.
For Adults with Special Needs:
Similarly, elderly loved ones and adults with special needs may face challenges in recalling important information during emergencies. A personalized bracelet provides a discreet solution by prominently displaying essential contact details. Whether it's a trip to the local fair, a family vacation, or navigating through hurricane season, these bracelets offer peace of mind to caregivers and greater independence to individuals with special needs.
Why Choose Personalized Bracelets?
- Practical and Visible: Unlike phone numbers jotted on scraps of paper that can get lost, personalized bracelets are always visible and securely fastened.
- Customizable: Tailor the bracelet with specific information like names, allergies, and emergency contacts, ensuring responders have everything they need to assist quickly.
- Durable for All Adventures: Designed to withstand the wear and tear of outdoor activities, from sandy beaches to rainy days, these bracelets stay reliable no matter the conditions.
Don’t Wait – Prepare Today
Whether you're planning a weekend getaway or bracing for hurricane season, take proactive steps to safeguard your loved ones. Invest in personalized bracelets and enjoy worry-free adventures knowing that safety information is always within reach.
Stay safe and enjoy your summer adventures to the fullest!

Style - Waterproof & Durable
For businesses and agencies looking to have bold and easy to read information, Ink Injected silicone wristband style is our most popular style, due to the durability and waterproof message. This ensures that the crucial contact information remains legible throughout the day, regardless of the activity!
For families looking to have more subtle yet durable and effective information on the wristband, Embossed style (raised message due to molding process) or Debossed style (engraved message due to molding process) style wristbands are perfect, since the message has no ink and therefore the message will never wear off (durable!) and is less-visible to anyone who isn't actively engaged in helping your child in an emergency situation. The message is very clear and easy to read when you're looking at it, but it stands out less visually in the regular goings-on of life.
Tyvek wristbands (also known as non-rippable paper wristbands) are one-time-use but are waterproof and durable and are particularly practical for larger groups or families with varying wrist sizes, offering extreme durability and the ability to customize the fit for anyone (wrists or ankles).
A Simple Design
Keep it simple! Schools or businesses may choose to put their school or business name and logo as the "Front Message" of the band and their emergency contact phone number as the "Back Message" on the band. If you are a crisis resource center, you may also want to take advantage of the option for the "Inside Message" and include your agency's website. (Note, during a crisis there might not be access to the internet, so a phone number is best for emergencies!)
A family may choose to use their last name as the "Front Message" and their emergency contact phone number as the "Back Message" on the band.
We have over 1,000,000 pieces of easily searchable clip art in the design tool on our Order Page. Add a fun or impactful piece of art on your band (kids love flowers or dinosaurs), or upload your own logo for our Design Team to put on your design.

Note for families: Most families will choose to use one name per family (last name). If you need to have a different name per each wristband, you will have to design the individual wristbands one at a time (design, add to cart, return to order, design, add to cart, etc.) and it can get expensive. To save money, just put your last name as the "Front Message" and your emergency number as the "Back message" for the band. Using your last name only also prevents predators from calling your child by name to them, making them think they know you. |
When designing Tyvek wristbands (also known as non-rippable paper wristbands) via our Tyvek wristband design tool keep in mind that if someone has a very small wrist that only the start of the wristband (closest to the white tape) may be visible. To effectively design Tyvek bands for emergency contact information purposes, it is best to keep the message simple with the last name (or business name) and emergency contact phone number. You can ask our Design Team to stack the name and phone number so it occupies less space on the band and also ask it to repeat across the length of the band, for best visibility.
Colors
When choosing what color to get your customized emergency contact bracelets, many families choose to go with an easy-to-spot bright color like "hot pink", "light green", "yellow", "orange", or "royal blue."
However, some families will go with colors that match their family's favorite sports team (like maroon for the Texas A&M Aggies or green for the Green Bay Packers). We have over 100 colors and color combinations to choose from, so it is

Ease of Organization - Adults & Youth Sizes & Colors
To save time on organization and passing out the bands, some customers will choose to have one or two colors specifically for the adult bands and one or two other colors specifically for the youth wristbands. In our article about how a local Houston school uses their customized wristbands for field trips, you can read that the school's director chose to create:
- the Adult size bands (for the teachers) to be white bands with turquoise ink for the band message and
- the Youth size bands (for the students) to be turquoise bands with white ink for the band message!
This simple distinction makes it easy for the teachers and children to grab the right sized wristbands before their field trip, without having to dig in a box and try bands on to see if they will fit.

What Size to Get? (Youth, Adult, XL, XXL)
At RapidWristbands.com, our main silicone wristband sizes are "Youth" size (7 inches in circumference) and "Adult" size (8 inches in circumference).
We also are able to provide an extra large "XL" size (9 inch in circumference) and extra-extra-large "XXL" size (10 inches in circumference) upon request!
Not sure what size to get? Take a piece of string and measure your child's wrist and also the largest part of their hand. The band should be smaller than the largest part of their hand to ensure the bracelet does not fall off while the child wears it. Is your child's hand much smaller than 7 inches? Keep us in mind for the near future - kids grow surprisingly fast! In the meantime, Tyvek bands are great because you can customize the size to each child.
One-Size Fits All: Tyvek Wristbands are 10 inches long by 3/4 of an inch wide (10" x 3/4"). Tyvek bands are great because you can customize the size to everyone in your family! Easily customize your Tyvek bands with your last name and phone number via our Tyvek wristband design tool. Tyvek bands can be attached securely at wrists or ankles, if your loved ones have sensory issues and can't or won't wear the bands on their wrists.
