our story

Ejaz, Dwayne, Ben, Brian, Darin

What started as one family’s kitchen table hobby quickly grew into five neighbors bringing their ideas together to create custom paracord products and give back to the community. Today, a-bandz offers hundreds of color combinations so you can show your support for any team, any cause, any time.
Each a-band is handmade in Wisconsin, USA.

a-bandz also make the perfect fundraiser for your cause, school, organization or team and are a great way to create awareness and raise money. Choose one of our favorite teams or causes, or create a custom a-bandz of your own….the sky’s the limit!

Each a-band is hand woven using 550 paracord – a lightweight nylon rope originally used in the suspension lines of USA parachutes during World War II. 550 paracord has a braided sheath with a high number of interwoven strands giving it amazing strength and a nice, smooth texture.

Our Production Partners

At a-bandz, we strongly believe in giving back to our communities. That is why we partner with area vocational centers that offer paid production work to individuals with developmental, physical and/or mental disabilities to help manufacture our products. This work helps these individuals develop a confidence in their abilities, necessary life skills and quality employment.

For more information about one of our production partners, please watch this informational video from Chippewa River Industries of Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin.
