## FAQ
- Q: How many guests per hour can pass through an RFID gate lane?
  A: Published event-operations benchmarks consistently show NFC 13.56 MHz tap-based wristbands deliver per-lane throughput a multiple higher than barcode scanning at peak load — typically thousands per hour per lane vs hundreds for barcode. UHF 860-960 MHz walk-through portals lift the throughput further by removing the deliberate-tap step. Realised numbers depend on lane geometry, reader mounting height, guest-flow discipline, and pre-event communication on what the gate looks like.
- Q: Can Tyvek RFID wristbands support cashless payment at food and beverage points?
  A: Yes — specify MIFARE Ultralight C (3DES mutual authentication) for the cashless tier. The chip links each wristband to a guest payment account in the cashless platform (Intellitix, Glownet, PlayPass, Tappit, CrowdBlink); guests pre-load funds online or at top-up kiosks then tap at any POS terminal. Tap latency is sub-second versus the multi-step cash workflow, and the published festival-cashless literature consistently reports a meaningful per-capita spend uplift after the switch.
- Q: Are Tyvek wristbands waterproof enough for outdoor rain events?
  A: Yes for rain, sweat, and splash exposure — Tyvek spunbond HDPE is inherently water-resistant; the inlay is sealed between Tyvek layers with waterproof adhesive. Tested through extended continuous-rain exposure without read-performance degradation. For full submersion (pool / waterpark slide), specify a silicone (IP68) or PVC (IP67) wristband instead — Tyvek is rain-resistant, not submersible.
- Q: Can attendees transfer the wristband to someone else?
  A: The VOID-on-removal tamper-evident adhesive closure is calibrated to make transfer obvious. Removing the band stretches or breaks the adhesive past its yield point, leaving a visible "VOID" pattern on the closure tab; the antenna trace is also typically destroyed, deactivating the chip. Door staff catch transfer attempts visually with no reader equipment — the mechanism that makes Tyvek the dominant substrate for nightclub age-verification, single-day festival passes, and any one-person-one-band programme.
- Q: What is the fastest turnaround for custom Tyvek wristbands?
  A: Standard lead time is ~14 business days from artwork approval; rush production reduces this to ~7 business days on standard designs. For urgent orders, Proud Tek stocks blank white and solid-colour Tyvek with embedded RFID chips for emergency dispatch — event details can be overprinted on-site with any standard thermal-transfer printer.
- Q: Which chip should I specify?
  A: NFC tap-only gate + light brand interaction: NTAG213 (144 B, smartphone-readable, lowest NFC cost). NFC + on-band content / vCard / longer NDEF: NTAG216 (888 B). Cashless payment: MIFARE Ultralight C (3DES mutual auth, NIST SP 800-67 TDEA, the disposable-tier cashless chip). UHF walk-through portal counting / mass attendance: Impinj Monza R6-P (auto-tune, mature) or NXP UCODE 9 (~3 dB extra read sensitivity for long-distance portal reads). Mixed-mode events run dual-frequency Tyvek with both an NFC and a UHF inlay in the same band.
