What is a RFID wristband?
RFID wristbands are contactless wearables that use radio-frequency identification or NFC technology to identify users securely and quickly. They replace paper tickets or tokens with a single, convenient wristband that enables fast entry, cashless payments, and enhanced data insights.
Each wristband contains an RFID or NFC chip that communicates with readers via a short-range radio signal. This makes them ideal for managing access, tracking attendance, and providing cashless payments at events, festivals, and conferences.
Technology and applications
Our RFID and NFC wristbands are used worldwide to create frictionless access and enhance engagement.
- Festival and event entry management
- VIP and hospitality access control
- Cashless payment integration
- Attendee identification and data collection
- Brand activation and marketing campaigns
These personalised RFID wristbands are designed for environments that demand both durability and sustainability.

Sustainable access control for VIPs
Access control of the guests to the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship’s most exclusive hospitality experience was made possible by the use of a custom made wooden NFC tag attached to each participant’s recycled PET fabric event wristband.
After collecting their wearable at the entrance, the wearer is free to come and go to the Boss Emotion Club for the ultimate race day entertainment, access and fine dining behind the scenes.

FAQs - RFID Wristbands
What is RFID?
RFID or Radio Frequency Identification enables one-way wireless communication, typically between an unpowered RFID tag and a powered RFID reader. RFID operates across low frequency (LF), high frequency (HF) and ultra-high frequency (UHF) frequency bands and offers scanning distances from 10cm to 100m.
RFID is generally used for airport baggage handling, road toll collection and asset tracking as it does not require a direct line of sight to the reader and can be scanned from much further distances.
How does RFID work?
In much the same way as NFC although there is a difference in that Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags can be active rather than passive which helps to increase the scan strength and read distance. RFID uses electromagnetic fields to identify and track tags attached to objects automatically. The RFID system consists of a small radio transponder, a radio receiver, and a transmitter. When an electromagnetic interrogation pulse is triggered from a nearby RFID reader device, the tag transmits digital data, usually an inventory identification number, back to the reader. This number may be used to track inventory goods.
There are two types of RFID tags:
- Passive tags are powered by energy from the RFID reader’s interrogating radio waves
- Active tags are powered by a battery and thus can be read at a greater range from the RFID reader, up to hundreds of metres
