How the security works

An access-control wristband is worth exactly what it costs to defeat it. Here are the four mechanisms, explained by what they do rather than what they promise.

01

Tamper-evident die-cut

The security die-cut makes it impossible to remove without destroying it. There is no way to take it off intact and put it on another wrist.

02 Nobody else offers this here

UV security mark

A mark printed in invisible ink, visible only under black light. Checked at the door in one second, and impossible to fake by eye.

03

Single use

The thick adhesive layer leaves the wristband useless once it is peeled off. It opens once, and that's it.

04

Sequential numbering

Every wristband carries its printed number and comes in perforated sheets of 10 — quick to tear at the door, and the count reconciles at the end of the night.

UV security mark

Of the four, the UV mark is the least visible and the most useful. It is ink that is invisible to the naked eye and shows up under a black light costing less than a box of wristbands. At the door the check is instant, and anyone trying to fake the band on a home printer will copy the colour and the logo — but not the mark they cannot see.
