Printed admission credentials
Band dimensions. Closure details. The right chip.
RFID paper wristbands combine a printable disposable band with an RFID inlay for event or visitor identification. The published formats below include a 210 mm synthetic-paper snap band and 250 × 19 mm or 250 × 20 mm Tyvek-style adhesive bands. Choose the strip and closure separately from the chip: NFC link tags, installed card credentials and UHF EPC tags perform different jobs.

Construction overview
The snap construction and adhesive construction close differently. Their flat dimensions, fastening allowance and antenna placement need to be read together.
Published format references
These dimensions and constructions come from published Proud Tek product references. Select a format to discuss; the quotation and approved artwork identify the supplied material, chip, dimensions and available production schedule.

The supplier lists sizes without a manufacturing tolerance. Use the order drawing for tolerances and usable circumference. No age-based fit or universal size claim is implied.
The reverse-mounted inlay and adjustment holes are visible. Chip identity and dimensions are not printed in this photograph.
The antenna area and security-cut overlap are separate features. Inspect both on the selected finished sample.
Removal and re-entry are separate checks. A closure can show visible damage when opened; that does not by itself disable the RFID chip. The event system must enforce the rules for used, replaced or cancelled tickets.
Chip-level technical references
NTAG213, NTAG215 and MIFARE Classic families appear in the source listings. UCODE 8 is included as a precise UHF engineering comparison. The selected wristband assembly and chip variant are identified in the quotation.
| Chip & interface | Memory | Use & integration |
|---|---|---|
| NTAG21313.56 MHz · ISO/IEC 14443-A · NFC Type 2 | 144 bytes user memory · separate 7-byte UID | NFC tap to a short event or registration link. NDEF formatting uses part of the user area. The factory UID is read-only; write a ticket reference into user memory or map the UID in the event system. |
| NTAG21513.56 MHz · ISO/IEC 14443-A · NFC Type 2 | 504 bytes user memory · separate 7-byte UID | NFC content requiring more message space than NTAG213. Check the encoded payload size. Extra memory does not create a longer read distance or add an admission application. |

The total includes manufacturer data and sector trailers. Match the identifier variant, sector layout and keys; it is not interchangeable with an NTAG web-link tag. |

This IC reference does not identify the chip in a pictured band or establish a supplied UHF format. An antenna tuned for the destination region and on-wrist testing determine the working distance. |
IC frequency limits describe the chip, not a finished band’s tuned antenna or reading distance. A phone’s NFC radio does not read a UHF EPC wristband. Test the selected band on a wrist with the intended reader position.
Artwork and ticket records
Start with the selected format’s dieline. The flat strip length is shared by the visible graphics, closure overlap and any reserved areas around the inlay.
Exact zone lengths and the inlay position come from the selected construction drawing.
Place the event name, access zone and scannable code where the closed band leaves them visible. Review the printable area, bleed and safe margin on the actual dieline; total band area is not the usable artwork area.
For an NTAG band, a useful mapping file contains the printed ticket number, the UID as returned by the reader, and the event-system record. If a link or ticket value is encoded, define that field separately from the UID.

Keep important graphics and printed IDs readable after the strip is closed. This is an artwork example, not a dimensioned print template.

The reviewed reference separates published band formats from chip specifications. It includes the original source links and the details needed to discuss a finished sample.

Custom orders & samples
Select the construction and visible identification. On the next page, add quantity, event date, reader or ticketing-system details and destination.
The quotation states the supplied substrate, exact chip, artwork setup, sample charges, MOQ and production schedule. For outdoor or wet use, include exposure and wear duration in the sample requirements.
Sample ordering terms →The listed 250 mm is the flat strip length, not the closed wrist circumference. The adhesive overlap occupies some of that length. A snap band also needs the correct hole position and closure allowance. Ask for the usable circumference range on the selected dieline and try the sample on the intended wearer range.
No. DuPont identifies Tyvek as a synthetic material made from high-density polyethylene fibers. Other products described as synthetic paper may use a different polymer. Specify the exact substrate and grade on the order; appearance alone does not prove a band uses branded Tyvek. The complete wristband also includes an inlay, adhesive and printing.
They can be linked in the event database, but they are not automatically the same value. NTAG213 and NTAG215 have a factory-set, read-only UID. A sequential ticket number can be printed on the band and stored in writable memory or mapped to its UID. Define the returned reader value and CSV fields before printing or encoding.
