What are the specifications for Zebra Z-Band Fun wristbands?
The Zebra Z-Band Fun wristbands measure 1" x 10" (25.4 x 254mm) and are made of direct thermal coated polypropylene with permanent adhesive closure. Each roll contains 800 wristbands with a 3" (76.2mm) core, packaged 4 rolls per box, and feature black mark sensing for reliable scanning. These wristbands are latex-free and MR-Safe, making them suitable for healthcare and medical environments.
How do Z-Band wristbands help reduce ticket fraud at amusement parks?
Z-Band wristbands are blank until printed on-demand, so they have no value until activated with a guest's information. They can be printed with the guest's name for access verification and are tamper-evident and nontransferable, making counterfeiting and theft significantly more difficult. This approach offers lower total cost of ownership compared to RFID wristbanding while providing the same fraud prevention and patron data capture benefits.
