Frequently Asked Questions

Do you think silicone wristband will shrink?

Many people ask us this question from time to time. As a matter of fact, we all know the principle that heat makes something expand and cold makes it contract. However, not all the products will shrink, it depends on the materials. Products made of different materials have different degrees of shrink range. For other materials, I am not so professional, but at least for silicone wristbands, we are professional. For 210mm circumference silicone wristbands or rubber bracelets, after hot pressing molding, they will become 209mm, 208mm or 207mm, so maximum shrink range just up to 3 mm, at least 1 mm. Why is this happening？ 

Thermal expansion and cold contraction are the best answers to this question. Let me Illustrate with a vivid example. In our daily cooking, when eggs meet conventional high temperatures, they will slowly grow larger. Boiled eggs will slowly become smaller after being cooled, which is a good principle of thermal expansion and contraction. That's why the silicone bracelet has some degree of shrinkage.

Silicone bracelets are made of 100%  silicone rubber – Latex and Toxin Free. They have main four sizes for options as below in the beginning:

Adult: 8" (L) x 1/2" (W) x 1/16” (H) or ( 202MM x 12MM x 2MM )

Middle: 7.5" (L) x 1/2" (W) x 1/16” (H) or ( 192MM x 12MM x 2MM )

Youth: 7" (L) x 1/2" (W) x 1/16” (H) or ( 180MM x 12MM x 2MM )

Toddler:6" (L) x 1/2" (W) x 1/16” (H) or ( 150MM x 12MM x 2MM )

With the development of rubber bracelets, there are more sizes options like 1/4'' width, 3/4'' width and 1'' width besides 1/2'' width.

Heat transferred lanyards can be named dye sublimated lanyards or full colors printed lanyards. Such lanyard design use a polyester base material and the logo or text is printed into material using a heat transfer process. The custom heat transferred lanyards are smooth and flexible, message colors can be in gradient style, too. We have no minimum and free shipping for all dye sublimated lanyards. 

Nylon is a commonly used material for neck lanyard products with high-grade atmosphere，it is very suitable for silk screen printing on the surface of material because of the surface characteristics of the fine and smooth. The nylon rope handle is relatively smoother and softer than polyester, with no trace of fingers after scraping. Nylon is a relatively high-grade materials, especially we might not feel sticky even in summer. If you want to customize nylon neck lanyards, they can be printed with any words or messages for any promotional showing, events or foundation.
