Our default text is Comic Sans, if another font is not specified during the ordering process.
Fonts Initially we offered over 4,000 fonts but Microsoft Windows XP only allows 1,000 fonts to be installed at a time so we have selected 45 of the most requested fonts as a standard offering. If you have a special true type font for us to use, we may be able to fine it or you can send us the .TTF file to use for your order.
Font Differences Not all fonts are created equal. Each font takes up its own amount of space per character for a given point size in relation to other fonts. Some fonts work fine in both ALL CAPS and CAPS & Lower Case applications. Others do not look good in ALL CAPS. The big, deep and bold fonts used better for debossed only applications are: Arial Bold, Bookman OLd, Broadway, Forte, Rockwell Extra, Stencil and especially Impact. The fonts that do not look good in All CAPS are: Amazone, Magneto, Marura, Old English, Page, Script, Script Bold, and Tango. The script fonts are: Amazone, Bradly, Corsva, Forte, Freehand, Gigi, Magneto, Missy, Page, Script, Script 2 and Script Bold. We offer 9 Greek fonts and the letter by letter comparison is available in the font selection tables we provide.
Big and Bold The initial silicone wristband design was debossed only which limits the selection of fonts because the readability of the text and graphics relied on casting a shadow to see the message. Therefore the messages tended to be big, bold, deep and limited on character count. Also the casing of a shadow does not work as well on dark colors as compared to light colors. Color filling removes this limitation by creating a contrasting color for the text and graphics allowing for much more readable information to be displayed on each side of the silicone wristband or silicone ID Tag.
