Overview

Visitor badges that expire on their own

The Genuine TEMPbadge T8050 ExpireBand is a direct thermal printable self-expiring wristband, 1 x 9.75 inches, sold in a box of 400 (part number T8050).

How it works

Print the visitor's information on the wristband with a direct thermal printer, then fasten the band around the wrist. The band activates when it is applied, and color develops over about one day, overnight, about 10 to 15 hours, until a red VOID pattern shows along the band. ExpireBand is intended for indoor, climate-controlled events.

What you need

A direct thermal printer that takes wristband media. The manufacturer lists the PDC Certis and other leading direct thermal printers. No ink or toner is required. Contact us and we will confirm what works with the printer you have.

How it works

The color builds until the badge reads expired

Once the badge is activated, dye migrates at a steady rate and the expiring area shades from white to pink to red. These are the actual TEMPbadge lab shade charts; the dashed box marks the recommended expiration time.

One-day expiring badge color change by hour

Times are approximate. The timer is chemical: warmth and humidity speed it up, cool dry air slows it down.

Good to know

Expiration times are guidelines, not exact clocks. The timer is chemical and made for indoor use: warmer or more humid air runs it faster, cooler and drier air runs it slower. A 1-Day badge can expire in as little as 10 hours.

Questions & answers

Frequently asked questions

How long until the wristband expires?
These are one-day bands. Color develops gradually and the band shows as expired overnight, about 10 to 15 hours after it is applied to the wrist.
Can wristbands be reused?
No. The band activates when applied and the color change cannot be reversed, so a band cannot be transferred or reused the next day.
What else do I need?
A direct thermal printer that takes wristband media to personalize the bands. No ink, toner, back parts, or software are required.
Which printers work with these?
A direct thermal printer that takes wristband media. The manufacturer lists the PDC Certis and other leading direct thermal printers. Contact us and we will confirm what works with the printer you have.
Can I use these outdoors?
ExpireBand is intended for indoor, climate-controlled events. The chemical timer develops faster in warm or humid conditions, so outdoor use makes the timing less predictable.
What does box of 400 mean?
This product comes in boxes of 400 wristbands, packed as 2 rolls of 200. Ordering a quantity of 1 means you will receive one box of 400 wristbands.
Are these in stock?
Most TEMPbadge items on our site ship shortly after the order is placed. However, many items are made to order by the factory and typically take about 8 weeks, because the chemical timer performs best when fresh. Made-to-order items are marked on the product page.
