Silicone RFID Wristbands
IP68 waterproof silicone RFID wristbands — durable 13.56 MHz bands for pools, spas and cashless resort payments, encoded for every U.S. hotel lock system.
Overview
Silicone RFID wristbands are soft, waterproof IP68-rated bands with an embedded 13.56 MHz RFID chip, built for pools, spas and cashless resort spending where a card is impractical. American Hotel Cards supplies them custom-colored and printed, encoded blank or pre-programmed for VingCard, Saflok, Onity, SALTO and other lock systems, so one band covers the room, the pool bar and the spa.
Water is where plastic cards fail and silicone bands shine. An IP68-rated silicone wristband is fully waterproof and comfortable enough to wear all day, so guests keep their credential on through the pool, the spa and the beach rather than leaving a card in a locker. The embedded 13.56 MHz chip taps-to-open doors and authorizes cashless payments across the property.
For resorts running a closed-loop spend model, the silicone band is the workhorse credential: durable, hypoallergenic, easy to clean and sanitize between guests, and available with secure or single-use closures depending on whether the program is reusable or per-stay. Bands come in custom Pantone colors with debossed, printed or dome-label branding.
The chip itself is standard — the same MIFARE or NTAG credential as our cards, encoded on your own system — so the band slots into your existing locks, readers and POS without new back-end. Closure options range from snap and watch-style buckles for reuse to one-time security clasps for events.

Silicone RFID Wristbands, answered
Are silicone wristbands really fully waterproof?
Yes. They are IP68-rated, which means fully waterproof for continuous submersion, so guests can wear them in the pool, spa, ocean and shower without affecting the embedded chip.
Can the band be used for cashless payments?
Yes. With a closed-loop POS integration, the band’s 13.56 MHz chip can authorize charges to the room across pool bars, restaurants, spa and retail, so guests never need to carry a wallet.
Do silicone bands open our existing locks?
Yes. The chip is the same standard MIFARE or NTAG credential as our key cards, encoded on your own system, so it works with your existing RFID locks and readers with no new hardware.
Are the bands reusable or single-use?
Both. Choose a watch-buckle or snap closure for reusable programs (cleaned and re-encoded between guests), or a one-time security clasp for per-stay and event use where the band is removed at the end.
Can we match the band to our brand color?
Yes. We Pantone-match the silicone color and add your logo by debossing, printing or a dome label, so the band looks like part of your property rather than a generic strap.
