Do you know silicone bracelets can also double up as awareness bracelets? You can use fashionable and stylish silicone bracelets to sport a slogan or carry a message or tagline that can arrest people’s attention and champion a particular noble cause.
Silicone bracelets have been in use since time immemorial and they are used by people to raise awareness about different types of cancer, especially blood cancer and breast cancer, liver diseases, diabetes, cervical cancer, dyslexia, AIDS and a host of other such diseases.
Awareness bracelets or silicone bracelets can be of different types. Let me cite some of those different styles of silicone rubber bracelets which help to create awareness for a cause.
Embossed silicone wristbands
The most common type of silicone rubber bracelet is the debossed silicone wristband. Compared to that, embossed ones are not that ubiquitous. But I personally feel embossed silicone wristlets have their own charm and they can be customized as well so that you can use them to create any kind of awareness you want.
Just like debossed bracelets, embossed silicone rubber bracelets also are made out of a customized mold. In case of debossed bracelets, the awareness message is debossed or imprinted into the silicone rubber band. While in case of embossed silicone wristbands, the awareness message that is imprinted or embossed shoots up from the surface of the silicone wristband, the message is raised up.
The turnaround time for embossed silicone bracelets as well as the prices is pretty similar to those of debossed silicone rubber bracelets.
Printed silicone rubber wristbands
In this case, the 1st step involves preparing a template that can be customized and you can add your own designs and awareness messages to that template. The artisans will then place the template on top of the silicone bracelets.
Whatever awareness message or cause you want to champion will get printed or imprinted on the surface of the silicone rubber bracelets through silk screen method. In this method the printers use a special kind of dye which has the ability to penetrate through and impregnate the silicone rubber.
You can safely use customized printed silicone rubber bracelets for quite some time because they are durable enough and can withstand every day wear and tear. Nor do they get chipped or experience flaking. Printed silicone rubber wristbands are cheaper and far more pocket friendly compared to the other two kinds of awareness bracelets or silicone rubber bracelets I mentioned above.
This low and affordable price is because these types of silicone rubber bracelets do not feature customized molds. Apart from a lower price, the turnaround time is also faster compared to embossed and debossed silicone rubber wristbands or awareness bracelets.

When pretty little rubber bracelets that also double up as cool and pocket friendly fashion accessories champion some kind of philanthropic cause or noble cause , people love to lap them up as they think they are doing their bit for society.
Some of the fundraising events for which charity organizations use silicone rubber bracelets are “eradicate illiteracy or polio or dyslexia or diabetes or flu campaigns”, “helping out poor orphans and rehabilitating them”, prevention of child and women trafficking, rehabilitation of victims of sexual abuse, creating awareness about deadly or strange types of diseases and helping out victims of diseases with financial and medical assistance, drug abuse and its after effects, alcohol abuse and its after effects and a variety of similar other causes!

However when you want to raise funds through sale of custom silicone wristbands, you have to register your charitable trust or charity organization with your state government.
The section under which you have to do this is internal revenue service’s clause 501 (c) (3). This may result in some kind of tax exemption. However, just because you are registering your self doesn’t mean you will get a 100% tax exemption.
