## FAQ
- Q: How many wash cycles can the elastic RFID wristband survive?
  A: Elastic RFID wristbands are specified for extended machine-wash cycles at 40 °C with standard detergent. RFID chip module is sealed in a waterproof housing unaffected by washing. Elastic fabric maintains stretch-recovery for hundreds of on / off cycles. For high-turnover reusable programmes, replacement cadence on the order of 6-12 months of daily use depending on wear frequency; lifecycle bound by elastic-recovery fatigue, not chip failure.
- Q: Can one size really fit both children and adults?
  A: A single elastic band stretches to accommodate roughly ±20 mm from nominal size. For programmes serving both young children and larger adults, three SKUs (small ~130-170 mm, medium ~160-200 mm, large ~190-230 mm) cover effectively the entire human wrist range. Colour-coding the sizes makes it easy for staff to issue the correct band at a glance during peak hours.
- Q: What is the MOQ and lead time?
  A: Custom-branded elastic wristbands: MOQ 500, lead time 12-15 business days from artwork approval; jacquard-woven custom logo lead time 18-22 days. Stock elastic bands in standard colours with NTAG213 or MIFARE chips ship on shorter lead time at lower MOQ. Reusable-programme bundles (wristbands + sanitisation guidelines + replacement schedule) available on request.
- Q: How does the reusable hygiene workflow work?
  A: Returned bands are collected in a sanitation tray, wiped with alcohol / quat-ammonium OR processed under UV-C light, and re-encoded with the next member's ID before reissue. Full machine-wash cycles run weekly / monthly depending on turnover; sealed RFID module is unaffected by standard detergents, alcohol, or UV-C exposure. Antimicrobial-additive elastic-thread option available for senior-care and healthcare-adjacent programmes.
- Q: Why MIFARE DESFire EV2 / EV3 rather than MIFARE Classic 1K?
  A: MIFARE Classic uses CRYPTO-1 with documented academic attacks (Nohl & Plötz 2008, Garcia 2009, Courtois 2014) — no longer recommended for new payment or high-value access deployments. DESFire EV2 / EV3 runs AES-128 mutual authentication with per-card key diversification (NXP AN10922) and is the current recommendation. MIFARE Plus EV2 SL3 provides the pin-compatible AES upgrade path for operators with installed Classic reader base.
- Q: Is this appropriate for paediatric / child-safety programmes?
  A: For low-coercion children's programmes (kids' camp, daycare drop-off, family-entertainment-centre) yes — the stretch-fit accommodates wide age ranges with three SKUs and the slip-on architecture suits self-service or staff-assisted application. For higher-coercion environments where unaided removal must be prevented (paediatric-medical-fragility, foster-care, behavioural-health adolescent unit), specify rfid-child-wristband instead — that page covers tamper-resistant closures matched to coercion-resistance requirement.
