In bracelet production, Soft PVC and Silicone are the two most commonly used materials, and they differ significantly in cost, appearance, comfort, and manufacturing process.
Soft PVC Bracelets
Soft PVC is flexible and durable with bright colors and strong design versatility. Its cost is lower, making it ideal for mass production. These bracelets are waterproof, sweat-resistant, and wear-resistant, and are widely used for promotions, events, and brand giveaways.
To produce Soft PVC bracelets, the typical equipment includes a PVC dispensing machine, combined with a tunnel oven for curing and a demolding workstation. This setup provides high automation and stable production efficiency.
Silicone Bracelets
Silicone is softer, more comfortable to wear, non-toxic, and highly resistant to heat and aging. It delivers a more premium feel and is suitable for long-term use and high-quality applications such as branded, sports, and medical bracelets.
To manufacture Silicone bracelets, a silicone injection molding machine or silicone dispensing machine is used, followed by curing in a silicone oven. The process ensures consistent quality and precise product dimensions.
