Labels vs Wristbands — Which AYA Product Is Right for You? | AYA

Two products, one mission

AYA started with QR wristbands — a simple paper band that goes on a child's wrist. If the child gets separated from their parents, a stranger scans the QR code and shares their location. No app needed.

Then parents started asking: what about everyday items? The jacket left at the playground. The teddy forgotten on the bus. The lunchbox that never came home.

That is why AYA Labels was born. Same QR technology, applied to stickers that go on objects instead of wrists.

When to use wristbands

Wristbands are designed for temporary situations where a child might get separated from their parent:

Festivals and concerts — crowded, noisy, easy to lose sight
Amusement parks — kids run ahead, queues separate families
Beach holidays — vast spaces, similar-looking tents
Shopping centres — children wander into shops
School trips — group outings with many children

The wristband goes on in the morning and comes off at night. It is single-use by design — no battery to charge, no device to lose.

When to use labels

Labels are for everyday objects that regularly leave the house:

Backpacks and school bags — left in cloakrooms, on buses
Jackets and coats — the most commonly lost children's item
Water bottles and lunchboxes — identical-looking, easily swapped
Sports equipment — left at practice, in locker rooms
Comfort items — teddy bears, blankets (emotionally irreplaceable)
Electronics — tablets, headphones

Labels stay on for up to 12 months. They survive washing, rain, and daily use.

When to use both

Many families use both products:

Labels on everyday items that the child carries to school
Wristbands when going to events, travelling, or visiting crowded places

This gives complete coverage — objects are protected every day, and the child is protected during high-risk situations.

How the QR technology works (for both)

The process is identical for wristbands and labels:

Someone finds a lost item (or a child wearing a wristband)
They scan the QR code with their phone camera
A mobile page opens — no app download needed
They see the child's name and buttons to call, SMS, or share GPS location
The parent receives a push notification with the finder's location
Communication happens through a secure channel — no personal data exchanged

The finder never sees the parent's phone number, email, or address. The parent sees exactly where the item was found on a map.
