The first silicone wristbands that were introduced to America were in 2004 and were the distinct yellow “Livestrong” rubber wristbands that were a global symbol for defeating cancer and essentially, living strong. Since that time, silicone bracelets have become a favorite among kids, teens, young adults, and adults worldwide.

These bracelets are made from natural silicone rubber. They are elastic, not easily broken, aren’t susceptible to high temperatures, and have an easy wear-ability factor. Awareness bracelets are unscented and virtually harmless. Silicone is known for being environmentally friendly, making it an excellent choice for people in today’s environmentally conscious world. Silicone wristbands are often associated with promotional activities, organized events, music concerts, and sports. In fact, like a blank canvas, promotional wristbands can convey a number of meanings, pledges, sayings, and mottos. Many corporate conglomerates have used silicone wristbands to advertise products. This includes McDonald’s, Puma, and even Nike. Since wristbands are fashionable but inexpensive, they’re incredibly cost-efficient to mass-produce. This makes wholesale wristbands an excellent option for non-profit organizations looking for fun fundraising products.
