Many people start to be confused when we talk about the various models of silicone wristbands. Most of them are confusing embossed wristbands with the debossed ones (even some silicone wristbands suppliers do!).
The debossed wristbands are the same model as the avant-gardist LIVESTRONG one from Lance Armstrong.
To deboss the wristband, a mould is produced especially for the order to meet the client’s requirements. This is why debossed wristands are more expensive and take more time to produce than printed wristbands or laser debossed…
