ID&C has been working with two police forces in the UK to create tailored products for public safety campaigns.
As makers of wristbands, lanyards and security products, ID&C was approached by the Bristol and Kent police forces to create wristbands for two differing safety issues.
Police based at Bristol International Airport sought a wristband that could be used to help parents find lost children during the summer holiday season. With consideration of the wristband’s users and purpose, ID&C created 1000 coloured wristbands that parents can write their children’s details on the back, and children can wear for the duration of their holiday.
Jacqui Mills, People & Culture at Bristol International Airport said: "ID&C’s understanding of the campaign certainly influenced the final product development. It was not only the practicality of being able to leave contact details on the bands and making sure they couldn’t be easily removed, but also it was important that children wanted to wear them!"
And as part of an awareness campaign to ensure the wellbeing of cyclists, Kent Police have created ‘Be Bright! Be Seen!’ and commissioned ID&C to develop an easy to use and secure wristband that cyclists could take on and off for travelling. Considering the band’s use and the necessity to fit over jacket sleeves, ID&C provided 1000 branded, glow in the dark slapper bands that also add an element of fun to younger users.
Matt Wilkey, director of ID&C said: "We have been working with the Kent police force for several years now, developing new products and tailoring our range to suite the differing security and safety requirements for each campaign. We can offer several alternatives and advise on the pros and cons associated with each product."
