ᐅᐅ Overview of our selection of rePET functional headband standard variants, sizes & designs:
ᐅ RPET functional headbands are perfect promotional items & merch for many marketing / promotional campaigns and purposes and projects:
Recycled sports headbands are currently one of the most popular sustainable advertising materials, promotional gifts and giveaways. Made from recycled PET (plastic bottles, plastic packaging, etc.), they have a much lower impact on the environment during production than their relatives made from conventional materials. When producing our RePET functional headbands, we use RPET raw material from the global market leader in this field. REPREVE®This ensures maximum product safety for us as manufacturers and for you as customers and publishers of these ecological corporate gifts.
Recycled PET headbands made from RPET functional material are generally ideal as merchandise, promotional gifts or event items due to their many positive properties. Firstly, on the side of high functionality. RPET sports headbands can be used for a wide variety of activities and in a wide variety of weather conditions. Whether in the cold season as protection against the cold and wind when skiing, cross-country skiing or jogging, or in hot temperatures as a sweat catcher and sun and UV protection.
On the other hand, it is valuable for you as an advertiser: recycled functional headbands are ideal for branding. You receive these customer gifts, promotional items and giveaways completely in your own design. You can customize every surface completely freely and have us print it. This applies to all the outer surfaces of the rePET Lycra headband itself, where you can have both the outside and the inside printed with your own design. Full-surface and borderless, of course. As well as the plastic-free packaging included in the set in the form of a banderol made of 100% recycled waste paper. Here, too, you can use all surfaces as additional advertising space and have your company logo, desired motif or advertising lettering printed on the banderol, again on both the front and back. Since you can have the recycled sports headbands completely printed, this also includes the choice of color of the items. Coloring according to Pantone is possible very precisely and allows you to reproduce your house color or the look of your corporate identity identically on the giveaways.
As a supplier, provider and manufacturer of RPET functional headbands, we offer our customers a large selection of the most popular standard designs, sizes and materials. Choose the material you want that is most suitable for your intended use. We always produce recycled sports headbands in two layers. Elastane (Lycra) is the most commonly used and can be printed on perfectly. On request, we can provide this variant with a fleece (microfleece) inside. The microfiber variant has a different tactile touch, a great alternative depending on your personal preference. And finally, jersey material made from recycled cotton. It is up to you which material and in which shape (wide or narrow) you would like us to make your personal unique RPET sports headband.
In general, you will always receive a customer gift, trade fair giveaway or merchandise product tailored to your needs, which is manufactured entirely according to your specifications and requirements as an individual special production.
We look forward to your project!
ᐅᐅ All RPET sports headband variants in detail:
ᐅ Variant: RPET functional headband “Double-layered elastane wide”
ᐅ Variant: RPET functional headband “Double layer with fleece inside”
ᐅ Variant: RPET functional headband “Double-layered elastane narrow”
ᐅ Variant: RPET functional headband “Double-layered microfiber wide”
ᐅ Variant: “Recycled jersey functional headband made from recycled cotton / Wide”
ᐅ Variant: RPET functional headband “Reflective / Reflex / With reflective logo or lettering”
ᐅ Instead of the standard version: As an individual custom-made product. Completely freely designable.
ᐅ RPET functional headbands made entirely according to your specifications, with these customization options available to you!
ᐅ RPET functional headband variant: "Double-layered elastane wide"
This variant is the most frequently ordered version of rePET functional headbands. The elastane (similar to Lycra) material used is pleasantly soft and very breathable. The surface structure is very smooth and therefore ideal for printing. Even the most delicate advertising motifs and graphic elements and the smallest fonts and texts can be printed precisely on this material. This material is also best suited for printing photorealistic motifs and designs. Compared to the alternative materials microfiber and jersey, elastane has a slight sheen depending on the print motif and the selected color.
A nice advantage of this variant is the possibility to have the inside of the rePET functional headband printed with your desired design, company name or advertising text.
This version is made with 2 layers and a width of 10 cm as standard. Of course, you can also order it in the narrow version (6 cm wide) or in any other size you want and have us make it for you.
ᐅ RPET functional headband variant: "Double-layered with fleece inside"
Outside like our standard model "Double-sided elastane wide", but the inner layer is not made of elastane, but of fleece. The fleece is microfleece with a fine structure. This provides additional warmth and offers additional protection from the cold without making the rePET running headband unnecessarily thick. This variant is primarily intended for use in the cold season and for activities in cold weather conditions.
Manufactured as standard in the wide version (10 cm high), but also available on request in the narrow version (6 cm high) and in any desired size. Unlike versions where both layers are made of elastane, only the outside (made of elastane) can be fully printed. With the inside made of micro fleece, you cannot have any print motifs shown, but you can specify the basic color of the fleece according to Pantone.
ᐅ RPET functional headband variant: "Double-layered elastane narrow"
This recycled PET headband made of RPET functional material is – except for the width – identical to the top recycled headband made of functional material version “Double-layered elastane wide”. As the names suggest, they only differ in their dimensions. This narrow version has a width of 6 cm instead of 10 cm. Depending on the intended use and personal preference, one or the other format is better suited to your marketing project.
All other product attributes are identical. Double-layered construction made of elastane material. Both layers, both outside and inside, can be printed on the entire surface and without any borders. No restrictions whatsoever regarding planned print motifs and design ideas. All print templates can be implemented perfectly, including photorealistic advertising motifs.
ᐅ RPET functional headband variant: "Double-layered microfiber wide"
This version is produced as usual from two layers. Unlike its relatives, however, these layers are not made of elastane, but of microfiber. This material is also used as standard in another promotional item, the promotional multifunctional scarf. Like its counterpart elastane, it also has a very high level of functionality and is extremely breathable, moisture-wicking and can serve as both cold/wind protection and sun/UV protection. The soft feel makes it comfortable to wear. It is also stretchy and adapts flexibly to the wearer's condition.
The microfiber material is also very suitable for printing. Both simple texts, such as company names and advertising slogans, as well as advertising motifs such as company logos or other graphic elements. Due to the somewhat coarser textile structure, very small printed elements cannot be reproduced as sharply as on the smoother elastane material. Nevertheless, in the end it is only your personal, purely subjective taste that decides whether you want your recycled functional headband made of elastane or, as here, of microfiber.
ᐅ Sports headband variant: "Recycled jersey functional headband made of recycled cotton / wide"
In this version, the basic material of the two layers is not a polyester-like material, as is the case with elastane and microfiber, but cotton. Here you get your cotton headband made of two layers of jersey made from recycled cotton. This fabric variant is not quite as breathable as the other polyester-like variants, but is still excellent for use in sporting activities. So if you prefer cotton (natural fibers) to polyester (man-made fibers), this version is the right one for you.
Due to the somewhat coarser surface structure and the nature of the jersey, sublimation printing is not possible. For this variant, we use the screen printing process to refine the cotton jersey headbands with your branding, advertising motif or company logo. This printing technique is robust, but has technical limitations when it comes to printing very small, delicate motifs and lettering. Custom motifs with large and simple graphic elements as well as lettering and text with large, unadorned letters are more suitable here.
ᐅ RPET functional headband variant: "Reflective / Reflex / With reflective company logo or advertising text"
With this recycled PET headband made of RPET functional material, you have the option of having lettering, logos or motifs applied in a reflective manner. This option is available for both material variants: elastane and microfiber. Define the texts or graphic elements that will be provided with a special coating, a reflective surface. Similar to reflectors on other items such as safety vests or Reflective snap bands These reflective motifs or lettering reflect incoming light more strongly. This increases the wearer's safety in the dark and gives the rePET functional headband an additional, helpful function as a promotional item, thereby enhancing its value even further.
ᐅᐅ Can't find the model you want? Then we can make your sports headband as a completely individual custom-made product.
These are your customization options and all product features in detail:
When manufacturing your custom running headbands from recycled material, you can choose from the following materials and material compositions:
_ Elastane (similar to Lycra)
_ Microfiber
_ Jersey / cotton
_ Fleece (as inner layer instead of elastane or microfiber)
All of these materials have similar properties and functions. All are breathable, sweat-absorbent and serve as wind and cold protection in cold conditions, or UV and sun protection in warm conditions. In terms of breathability, elastane and microfiber are on par. Jersey material made of cotton has a slightly lower performance in this area. However, it scores points over the other two in terms of feel if you want a material made of natural fibers (cotton) rather than artificial fibers (polyester).
In general, the high level of functionality is the same for all material compositions. In the end, which material you choose is purely a matter of taste.
For this sustainable version of sports headbands made of functional material, we use material made of recycled PET (RPET). This is obtained from all kinds of old plastic items. Such as plastic bottles and plastic packaging. We source the PET raw material used in our production from the renowned, globally operating market leader REPREVE®, which guarantees maximum product safety for both us as a producer and you as a customer.
Lycra headbands made from recycled PET material are absolutely contemporary and currently very popular promotional items, promotional articles and merchandise. With this promotional product, you not only get a very useful advertising medium with high functionality, but at the same time also a sustainable, ecological eco-promotional gift, which can be easily combined with current company orientations with regard to climate protection.
The finishing options for rePET sports headbands are, in addition to their high functionality and benefit for the recipient, their strongest positive feature as a corporate gift, advertising premium and promotional event item. Recycled functional headbands can be printed over the entire surface, without any borders. Printing with any type of motif template. No matter how delicate your advertising motif is, no matter how small and fine the fonts of your advertising slogan are. No matter whether your desired motif contains color gradients. Any print template can be printed and reproduced exactly on RPET running headbands. Even photorealistic advertising motifs can be implemented without restrictions.
The great thing is that not only the outside can be printed on, but also the inside. This means that you theoretically have twice as much printing space for your advertising as you would have with a comparable classic headband made of terry cloth material. Further details and sample images for printing the inside of rePET functional headbands can be found in the next section below.
And that's not all: In addition to the option of having the functional headband made of re-PET microfiber printed and produced in your own, individual design, you have even more advertising space available with the paper band made of recycled cardboard that comes with the set. You can also design the band completely according to your own ideas. On both sides, and with plenty of space for additional information, details, company logo, company name or other advertising motifs.
Yes, headbands made of rePET functional material can also be printed on both sides. Not just in specific spots, but also like the outside, all over and without any borders. This allows you to place even more information, promotional details, design, emotions and recognition value on your promotional item, advertising gift or giveaway. We also use the inside of the recycled sports headbands to print all legally required information in accordance with the Product Safety Act (ProdSG). This means that we as the producer and you as the distributor meet all legal requirements in relation to the ProdSG, without additional labels or stickers, and without your layout on the outside being visually disrupted by these information blocks.
One of the great advantages and popular properties of headbands made of RPET functional material is the technically unlimited printing options. Any motifs and lettering can be printed precisely. There are no restrictions on size and filigree. This goes all the way to photorealistic motifs. These can also be printed on the recycled functional headbands without any problems and without compromises. It doesn't matter what type of motif it is. Whether mountain ranges or other landscapes, buildings, products or simply abstract, detailed motifs, you have absolutely free choice when it comes to the motif template, with no restrictions. Turn your RPET functional headband into a real visual eye-catcher that spreads your advertising message even more effectively.
Another possible function, another valuable benefit of headbands made from recycled functional material for your giveaway recipients: the application of reflective motifs, logos or lettering. A special printing technique makes it possible to give specific areas of your article layout a reflective property. Reflective motifs, logos or lettering help you to be seen better in the dark. They catch light and reflect it back more strongly than normal textiles. With this function, you equip your promotional functional headband made from recycled material with another benefit for your recipients. This means that your individually produced advertising material, promotional gift or merch is used and worn by its recipients even more, and the advertising or brand message applied to it is often and long-term displayed in public. A win-win situation for you as an advertiser, and for your promotional item recipients, who also benefit from the additional benefit in terms of safety.
Depending on the advertising or promotional campaign, color plays an important role. An important role for the recognition value of your company or your advertising campaign. Or for the level of attention that your individually manufactured, sustainable customer gift, event item and promotional item in the form of these RPET sports headbands should attract. Depending on the approach and intention, as eye-catching as possible, thus in a loud, high-contrast color scheme. Or subtle, more towards understatement, thus kept in a more subtle and dignified color scheme. All of these specifications can be implemented on rePET functional headbands without compromise. Since the items are printed completely, borderlessly with your desired design anyway, you can also completely define the color scheme. We print exactly according to your specifications, regardless of whether they are specified as CMYK or Pantone values.
Sports headbands made from rePET functional material are already a fully-fledged, sustainable give-away, promotional gift and company gift due to their material composition made from recycled material. We complete this approach by avoiding plastic in terms of packaging. Instead of individually packing in a conventional polybag, we use paper bands that are also made 100% from recycled materials. Our bands can be printed completely according to your ideas and provided with your desired layout. They offer space for further information and promotions, for your product or event or company logo as well as for further information regarding the product properties, washing instructions and the like. And all this without generating unnecessary plastic waste. Made from recycled waste paper and suitable for a further life cycle after another recycling process. Practical - and absolutely contemporary in terms of climate protection.
In addition to the possibility for you as an advertiser to have rePET elastane headbands made in your individual desired dimensions, we also offer tried and tested and useful standard sizes and shapes for the sake of simplicity. Depending on the intended purpose or marketing project, one or the other variant will be more suitable for you:
_ Width: 10 cm
_ Narrow: 6 cm
_ For children / In child size: Depending on age and planned activities according to your specifications
_ Completely individual: No matter what idea or requirement you have, we produce your rePET functional headbands exactly according to your specifications
