Wristbands are most commonly used for Patient Identification (PID) within healthcare but are increasingly being used at sporting venues, concerts, theme parks and leisure facilities. To meet this demand, barcodestore have introduced a comprehensive range of thermal printable wristbands for use in their thermal printer range. These bands are available with the following options: Clip or adhesive fastening (Clipfast/Stickfast), Standard for barcode/text printing or in 'smart' format (including an RFID inlay), Adult or paediatric widths, a range of colours useful to indicate security/pass levels or to alert for allergies and Direct thermal or thermal transfer A 'smart' or RFID wristband encapsulates an radio tag in a standard format wristband. This is an emerging technology and provides benefits such as more data storage capacity and accuracy, system efficiency and prevention of data entry or collection errors.
