RFID wristbands have grown in popularity as they offer a convenient way for guests and staff to gain access to hotel rooms, amenities and in some cases pay for food and beverages.

Florida-based ID&C, part of Avery Products Corporation and owned by CCL Industries Inc., makes custom wristbands fitted with RFID microchips that are programmed by hotels to open door locks and other amenities for guests and staff. RFID access control is now ubiquitous in the hospitality industry due to its security and convenience benefits. RFID has gradually replaced the less popular magnetic strip as the method of access for door locks at hotels.

ID&C’s RFID wristbands are used by some properties from leading hotel brands including Marriott, Hilton & Hyatt. The company is also a supplier with the ability to encode ASSA ABLOY Global Solutions’ proprietary licenses directly to its RFID wristbands. This process is performed at its facility in Bradenton, Fla.

Bennett added, “Our ability to encode RFID wristbands on-site here in Florida is just one of the many custom features we have developed after listening to our customers. We know budgets are tight and forecasting is difficult so we’re rolling out as many options as possible to stay flexible to the current and future needs of the hospitality industry.”

ID&C has supplied credentials to the events, entertainment & hospitality sectors for more than 25 years. Since 2010 the company has pioneered the use of RFID wristbands for access control, having supplied its Smartcard wristbands to many of the world’s largest festivals, conferences, sports and hotels.
