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.

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.

Design it yourself

The Nordic Studio — see your band before you order it.

Four browser tools that turn a rough idea into a print-ready proof. Pick a material, drop in your artwork, set the numbering — and send the result straight to production.

Send artwork and a rough quantity and our team returns a print-ready proof within one business day. The studios are in English for now.

Sustainability

Built for the Nordic standard, not just to meet it.

We believe the sustainable material shouldn't be the special order. Every core product in our range has a recycled or bio-based version at the same price and lead time as standard stock.

Materials

20 million

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

We are not going to claim we fixed that. What we can show you is a certified alternative for every product on this site, and the paperwork behind each one.

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

Dye-sublimated recycled ocean polyester — full colour, festival-durable.

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.

Offset PVC, recyclable PETG

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.

No account, no minimum, no sales call unless you ask for one.

The paperwork behind the claims.

Every recycled, bio-based or compostable claim on this site has a document behind it. They are listed here, and we will send the certificate itself on request — before you order, not after.

Draft note, not shown to visitors: no certificate has been entered yet. On the live site this whole section stays hidden until at least one is filled in.

Need a certificate that is not listed, or one made out to your own compliance team? Email {email} and we will send what we hold.
