Branded Armbands For Security, Events & Children

When you need people to be instantly identifiable, whether that’s a security professional, a first aider or a Rotary volunteer, branded armbands are one of the simplest solutions. They’re highly visible, quick to put on and easy to tailor to your organisation’s role titles, colours and branding. At Colan, we produce a range of armbands designed for real-world use. Our products are comfortable to wear, built to last and easy to read at a glance. Below is a guide to our four most popular categories, outlining key features and custom options to help you choose the right fit.

Security Armbands

For Approved Contractor Scheme (ACS) security professionals, armbands provide a clear and professional identifier that supports compliance and credibility on site. Our ACS Armbands are adjustable, with a clear plastic pocket for the insertion of a license or other details. They are pre-printed with the SIA logo and ‘Approved Contractor’ or can be custom printed with your own logo. These armbands are available in blue and can be personalised with your registered SIA number, helping ensure the armband remains uniquely linked to the licensed individual. As with all branded armbands, contact us to unlock discounts on larger quantities.

Important ordering note: Please note these armbands are only available to approved contractors in accordance with SIA guidelines and can only be ordered and delivered to the licensed person and not a third party.

Medical & Fire Marshal Armbands

At sporting events, festivals and exhibitions, clear role ID can reduce confusion and speed up support when it matters. Medical role armbands provide dual support by making it obvious who to go to for help and allowing teams to coordinate smoothly behind the scenes. Our wraparound branded armbands are available for all events and can be supplied with common role titles or customised to your exact requirements. Standard prints include ‘Fire Marshal’, ‘Fire Warden’, ‘First Aider’, ‘Marshal’ and ‘Steward’ or you can choose your own text for an additional charge. They’re designed to stay put and remain readable throughout the day, featuring an adjustable velcro fastening with an elastic loop to avoid slipping down the arm. You can also choose from assorted fluorescent and standard colours, making it easy to match venue colour-coding or differentiate between teams.

Rotary & Lions Armbands

For clubs and community organisations, branded armbands are a practical way to look coordinated while building trust with the public. Whether you’re running a charity collection or stewarding an event, a clear armband helps volunteers feel confident and helps the public recognise who’s official. Colan is officially licensed by Rotary & Lions International and pays royalties accordingly. Our Rotary and Lions armbands can be custom printed with your logo and club name, making them a reliable choice for repeat use across multiple events. Made from PVC-backed nylon and sized at 425mm x 100mm, these armbands are built for busy event days. Choose from a wide range of colours to match your club branding and event needs. Minimum quantity: 10.

Children’s Branded Armbands

Children’s reflective branded armbands offer a low-cost, high-impact way to keep groups visible and identifiable. Manufactured from high-quality Oralite® reflective material and black elastic, these fluorescent armbands are ideal for road safety, school outings, sporting events and more. They can also be customised with a school logo or local authority, helping staff quickly identify pupils at a distance. They’re available in 2 sizes: 150 x 38mm or 150 x 50mm (length x width), giving you options depending on age group and the amount of branding/text you’d like to include.
