festival wristbands with metal closure are a tried-and-tested solution for events where access control needs to be both efficient and secure. This type of wristbands is often used for festivals, concerts, sports events and nightclubs, where it is essential that wristbands cannot be tampered with or passed on.
The main advantage of a metal clasp is its high level of security. Once the wristband is closed with pliers, it is permanently sealed. This means it cannot be opened again without being destroyed. This helps you avoid situations where guests try to pass wristbands on or reuse them. Alternatively, you can choose
festival wristbands with click closure, which do not require any tools.
Another important benefit is that the wristband cannot be tightened further after fitting. This ensures the right fit and means you do not have to deal with guests who have tightened their wristband too much.
When should you choose a metal closure?
- When security is more important than fast entry to the festival site
- For larger events with access control
- If you want to minimise fraud
- When wristbands must not be adjustable
Metal closure vs. plastic closure
- Metal closure: Maximum security, requires pliers
- Plastic/Easylock: Faster fitting, can be adjusted
A metal closure also gives a classic, professional look that many people associate with traditional festival wristbands.
The only drawback is that fitting takes a little longer, as pliers are required. This can create queues at the entrance, but it can be managed with the right staffing.
Benefits
- Very high security
- Cannot be opened or adjusted. This is especially useful for children, as they cannot tighten the wristband unnecessarily.

Drawbacks
