What is a rubber band bracelet? People refer to these bracelets in many different ways. Most common are the terms; silicone bracelet, rubber bracelet, and of course instead of bracelet the word wristband is used interchangeably. Other labels being used are; awareness bracelet or jelly bracelet. And other names stem from their use such as; cancer bracelets, event bracelets, “support our troops” bracelets, etc.
What you call the bracelets is not as important as what they may be used for. Generally, they are used for fundraising and awareness promotions. Many organizations sell them with an important phrase or symbol imprinted on the bracelet created in some significant color to help identify their cause.
A rubber band bracelet is made of durable silicone that can stretch but will not break easily. During manufacture the bracelet is molded in the colors of choice and the text is debossed into the bracelet. It is possible to simply print the text on the bracelet but the text can eventually wear away, and debossed text prevents that from happening. Of course, another option is to paint or color the debossed text to enhance the look of the bracelet allowing the text to stand out more.
Text is not the only thing people have printed or debossed on the bracelets. Many have opted to have symbols or logos included on the rubber band bracelet. Including a logo is an excellent way of marketing a product or brand. Some companies have pass out the bracelets and encourage people to wear them and display them freely. This type of use can be an inexpensive promotional tool for just about any company or organization.
Many fundraisers and charities will sell the bracelets to raise money. At the same time having people wear them around town creates visibility and awareness for any cause, idea, or brand being promoted. The cost of the rubber bracelet is low, and the larger quantity purchased, the lower the cost will be for each one. The cost can go down well below a dollar a bracelet allowing plenty of head room for profit that can benefit any fundraiser.
Whether you call them rubber band bracelets, silicone bracelets, rubber bracelets, or awareness bracelets, they are another good way to raise money, create awareness, and promote your product brand.

Many people suffer from diseases and cancers that currently do not have a cure. Many of us are unaware of the difficult circumstances these people must suffer everyday of their lives. Unfortunately, there isn’t enough funding donated to research programs to maintain the level of scientific study that needs to go into finding cures for these diseases. It is necessary to keep the public and the politicians aware of how strapped for cash these research projects are these days.
Cancer research projects need the help of the public to keep theses causes central in people’s minds especially the governments that tend to give funding to the noisiest special interest groups. Additionally, if we don’t have someone close to us that is affected by one of these dreadful diseases, it is easy to forget how others may be suffering. If we don’t have a personal connection to a disease we can continue on with our lives without giving it another thought, sad but true.
Fortunately, there are organizations that try to maintain public awareness of the needs of cancer research projects. These organizations use many different methods to get the word out to the public and government officials. A few which you may be aware are television commercials, print ads, celebrity endorsements, public rallies, and fundraising campaigns and events.
One popular method used is cancer awareness bracelets. The bracelets are used as reminders of the need to support funding and research for various research projects. They also act as a reminder for people to donate some of their time and money to the cause.
Cancer awareness bracelets come in many colors and support various cancer treatments and research. I’m sure you can recall seeing someone wearing those pink rubber breast cancer bracelets. The breast cancer awareness bracelets were made of silicone rubber and had “Hope Faith Love” printed or embossed on the bracelet.
Another well known use of the cancer awareness bracelet was the yellow “Live Strong” bracelet popularized by Lance Armstrong. In fact, he is considered the originator of the silicone rubber awareness bracelets trend.
The cancer awareness bracelets not only keep awareness alive but are also used to raise money to support the cause. The silicone rubber bracelets are inexpensive to manufacture and give cancer organizations a reasonable profit margin to make money off of each bracelet they sell.
Whether your organization sells the bracelets or gives them away, more people could be wearing them and keeping their thoughts, hopes, prayers, and support alive for those that truly need it.

Include a phrase or word on a silicone bracelet will allow others to see your message and inspire them to give their support to your campaign. This is the same method Lance Armstrong used to expand support and awareness of cancer issues with his yellow silicone rubber bracelets with the phrase Live Strong embossed on the bracelet. The yellow bracelets became very popular and numerous other organizations followed his lead, using other colors and slogans to promote their own cause.
Silicone bracelets are not only popular for charities but also for team affiliations and brand promotions. Various colors and color combinations are now being used to promote awareness about many different causes.
I have seen green bracelets with “Go Celtics” worn by basketball fans and “Live Green” for environmental issues. You have probably seen the popular “Support our Troops” yellow bracelets used to make sure we don’t forget our soldiers that are fighting around the world. Another popular bracelet you may have seen is the pink rubber bracelets for breast cancer awareness, and the uses are endless.
What if your company has a product to promote? Use the logo colors and the product name on the bracelet, and start passing them out. For less than a dollar for each bracelet your product name and branding could be exposed to thousands of people. The same concept is possible if you have a musical group you wish to market. A custom silicone bracelet can be made for any promotional project.
Just about any phrase, word or symbol can be included on the bracelet, so customizing the bracelet to fit your organization is very simple. If you keep the same message on the bracelet the cost of production is the same. Of course, the more you have produced the less expensive is the cost per bracelet.
Any color or color combination can be chosen, and custom colors can be accommodated as well. Some color chooses include the swirl colors that give a psychedelic look to the bracelet, or even a camouflage look for the militant types.
Choosing your preferred colors, text and symbols does not add to the cost of the bracelet. If all bracelets have the same text and symbols then cost of production stays the same.
