Event access control · Helsinki, since 1995

The band is the easy part.

Anyone can print a wristband. We design and convert our own RFID/NFC inlays — which is why ours read first time at the gate, and why they work with whatever access, ticketing or cashless system you already run.

Our material offering

One production line, a full range of access control.

Your event depends on reliable, tamper-evident access control. That's why we produce an extensive range of wristband and lanyard materials in-house — from single-use Tyvek for day tickets to reusable silicone and RFID-enabled bands for multi-day events.

Alongside the standard range, our ECOBOX materials — recycled ocean plastic, RPET and hemp — give you a sustainable option for every use case, without compromising on lead time or unit cost.

The full range

Every product we make, in one place.

Thirty categories produced on our own line. Filter by category or search by name, and open any product for its specification, print options and lead time.

Produkt

Bambuarmband

Bambu ger de här armbanden en bekväm och mjuk känsla och en miljövänlig profil; tillsammans med en smart tagg i trä är kombinationen helt plastfri och behåller ändå full RFID-funktion. Välj valfri Pantone-färg för en screentryckt design i upp till fyra färger. Det naturliga, växtbaserade materialet är hypoallergent som bomull och får karaktär med tiden, ungefär som denim, och produktionen undviker skadliga kemikalier. Eftersom materialet lätt fransar sig och ändarna inte går att smälta ska du inte klippa ändarna när låset väl är åtdraget. Minsta beställning är 1 000 stycken, i 15 × 350 mm eller 20 × 350 mm, och specialstorlekar finns också.

Produkt

Armband i ekologisk bomull

Armband i ekologisk bomull använder bomull som odlats utan syntetiska bekämpningsmedel, gödselmedel eller andra starka kemikalier, vilket gör tyget skonsammare mot känslig hud och allergier. Jämfört med konventionell bomull använder den ekologiska odlingen omkring 91 % mindre vatten, ger lägre växthusgasutsläpp, bevarar den biologiska mångfalden och håller jorden friskare. Finns i 15 x 350 mm eller 20 x 350 mm (specialstorlekar på begäran), i valfri Pantone-färg och serigrafitryckt i en till fyra färger. Lås finns som ovalt eller platt plastlås, aluminiumlås eller trä-, plast- eller metallpärla. Minsta beställning 300 stycken; produktionen tar cirka tre veckor.

Produkt

Hamparmband

Det här armbandet blandar ekologisk bomull med hampa och bygger vidare på vårt ursprungliga hamparmband med en mjukare känsla för att bäras hela dagen, med samma miljöfördelar. Kombinationen av ekologisk bomull och hampa minskar CO2-utsläppen med cirka 80 % jämfört med polyesterbaserade alternativ, och ekologisk bomull använder ungefär 10 % av det vatten som konventionell bomullsodling kräver. Det färdiga armbandet bryts ned på cirka 6 månader under ideala förhållanden. Det finns i valfri Pantone-färg, i storlekarna 15 x 350 mm eller 20 x 350 mm, med en minsta order på 100 stycken.

Produkt

15 mm Premium RPET-armband

Ett premiumarmband på 15 mm av återvunnen PET, med mjuk finish och en Pantone-grundfärg. Välj flerfärgat screentryck för logotyper och enfärgade motiv, eller digitalt sublimeringstryck för mer detaljerade designer. Minsta beställning är 100 stycken, låsen väljs ur det tillgängliga sortimentet och produktionen tar ungefär tre veckor från bekräftad order.

Produkt

20 mm Premium RPET-armband

Det här 20 mm breda armbandet kombinerar en mjuk och bekväm känsla med en bred, väl synlig yta för varumärkesprofilering. Det är tillverkat av återvunnen PET från konsumentplast, bland annat använda flaskor. Välj en Pantone-grundfärg med flerfärgat screentryck, eller digitalt sublimeringstryck för mer detaljerade motiv, och välj bland flera låsalternativ. Minsta beställning är 100 stycken, och produktionen tar ungefär tre veckor från bekräftad order.

Produkt

15 mm Basic RPET-armband

Ett 15 mm brett armband av återvunnen PET, avsett för motiv från kant till kant på båda sidor med digitalt sublimeringstryck. Tekniken klarar detaljerad grafik, toningar och Pantone-referenser. Minsta beställning är 100 stycken, och specialstorlekar finns på förfrågan. Som lås finns platt och ovalt plastlås, aluminiumlås och snäpplås, och produktionen tar ungefär 2–3 veckor från bekräftad order.

Produkt

20 mm Basic RPET-armband

Ett brett och mjukt armband av återvunnen PET, där hela bandet personaliseras på båda sidor med digitalt sublimeringstryck. Den extra bredden ger mer plats för detaljerad varumärkesprofilering, tidsscheman eller sponsormotiv. Storleken är 20 × 350 mm, och specialstorlekar finns på förfrågan. Minsta beställning är 100 stycken, som lås finns platt och ovalt plastlås, aluminiumlås och snäpplås, och produktionen tar ungefär 2–3 veckor från bekräftad order.

Produkt

Armband i återvunnen polyester

Armband i återvunnen polyester vävs av högkvalitativ post-consumer-återvunnen polyester som uppfyller certifieringen Global Recycled Standard (GRS) 4.0, och ger det välbekanta utseendet och känslan hos ett klassiskt festivalarmband. Skapa ett vävt motiv med upp till åtta färger och välj bredd, bandlängd och lås som passar evenemanget. Lämpliga för festivaler, flerdagarsevenemang, personalidentifiering och gästinsläpp. Standardstorlekarna är 15 x 350 mm och 20 x 350 mm, bandlängden kan justeras på begäran, och låset väljs bland de tillgängliga alternativen. Minsta beställning 500 stycken.

Produkt

Eko-armband med RFID-tagg i trä

Det här eko-armbandet kombinerar ett band i bambu, bomull eller hampa med en tålig RFID- eller NFC-tagg i trä, vilket minskar användningen av konventionella plastkomponenter. Beroende på valt chip och system stöder taggen insläppskontroll, legitimering och andra kompatibla RFID- eller NFC-tillämpningar. Taggar i trä kan lasergraveras, screentryckas i en enfärgad design eller offsettryckas i fyrfärg. Välj armbandets material, lås och chipspecifikation efter ditt evenemang och dina tekniska krav.

Produkt

Armband av återvunnen Ocean Bound Plastic

Detta tygarmband tillverkas av återvunnen Ocean Bound Plastic som samlats in i områden där plast riskerar att nå havet, och är certifierad enligt OCEAN BOUND PLASTIC RECYCLING STANDARD V2.2 för dokumenterad spårbarhet av det återvunna innehållet. Det kombinerar praktisk passerkontroll med en tydlig materialberättelse för evenemang.

Minsta beställning är 100 stycken.

What festivals say

“As a festival we make informed choices about all of our products based on evidence of sustainable credentials. We chose Nordic wristbands because they are made from reclaimed ocean-bound plastic … and the material is independently verified by Ocean Bound Plastics certification.”
Christopher JohnsonCo-Founder and Managing Director, Shambala Festival
“End of the Road Festival has enjoyed working with Nordic for several years. Jone and his team are always attentive to our requirements and we’re pleased to be one of the pioneers introducing their Recycled Ocean Plastic wristbands into our range of sustainability activities in 2025.”
Benny LockeHead of Programming, End of the Road Festival
“We are always looking to progress and add to our sustainability action. I was always confident in Jone and Graham’s hands and these new wristbands were well received across the board. They looked great, were really comfortable and our audience loved the fact that they were supporting ocean conservation.”
Em WeirdiganFestival Director, Green Gathering
Technology

Most suppliers buy the inlay. We make it.

99.9% of our inlays are converted from datachips we supply ourselves. That is not a specification detail — it is the reason we can tune antenna performance to a wet wristband on a moving arm, promise a read rate, and still answer the phone when something goes wrong.

See how we build a credential
01
Chip

HF, UHF or LF — in the chip family your platform requires.

02
Inlay

Converted in-house, then encased. That is what stops a band failing on day two.

03
Carrier

Fabric, silicone, PP, leather, wood, coconut shell — or a card.

04
Encoding

Encoded to your data file and read-tested unit by unit before dispatch.

NFC & RFID technology

Access control that talks back.

RFID and NFC inlays turn a simple wristband into a data point — track entry and exit times, spot crowd peaks, and enable cashless payment at the bar. We design and produce our own inlays in-house, and can provide the reader hardware and software through our partners too.

20 million

single-use virgin plastic wristbands are worn and binned every summer, by our own estimate of the events we supply.

Materials & certifications
GRS 4.0 recycled polyester

Certified post-consumer yarn, 18 stock colours, Pantone dyeing at volume.

Hemp + organic cotton

~80% less CO₂ than polyester. Fibre decomposes in about six months.

Ocean-bound plastic

Wood-pulp NFC cards

Fully plastic-free, conductive silver ink, practically compostable.

FSC-certified wood

Sapele, maple, oak, beech, bamboo, basswood, cherry — cards and tags.

Where plastic is the right answer, emissions are offset annually.

About us

Built to be trusted, not just big.

Since 1995, event organisers across Europe have trusted us to get access control right — no surprises, no excuses. We design and produce our own RFID and NFC inlays in-house, so the technology inside your wristband is something we control end to end, not something we resell. And because we've stayed a small, hands-on team, you get a direct line to the people actually making your order — not a call centre.
