Lanyards have been popular for decades . We just never stop needing them in business and day to day use.
I think you know what are lanyards now?
lanyards are cords or straps that is worn around the neck to hold an identification badge, whistle, keys or other small object . You can see lanyards in use everywhere by businesses, schools, hospitals, at special events, conventions, reunions, also in many recreational activities .
Lanyards can also be used as an advertising tool with a customized logo or name printed on the strap . They come in various colors and types with different hardware attached, at the bottom for holding an ID badge, whistle or the like .
Lanyards can be made of cord, cotton, nylon or polyester twill . The cord type is the least expensive , but cannot be printed because it lacks the flat surface of the strap-type . Some have a small bulb containing a retractable reel, to use with an ID badge or keys . They might also have breakaway connectors, so that if the lanyard gets caught it will release before it pulls on the neck .
The strap-type lanyards can be made of cotton, polyester or nylon and are often printed with a company or team name, product or logo .
Generally printing methods
There are generally two different printing methods used: screen printing, or dye sublimation .
Screen-printing provides a higher quality result that is more durable . A fine mesh screen is made from the customer’s artwork . The screen is laid on top of the material and the colored ink is applied over the screen . A squeegee pushes the ink through the mesh screen to create the design beneath on the fabric . Heat cures the ink for a high-resolution result .
Dye sublimation is a superior printing process that can create multicolored, highly detailed designs . With this method the customer’s design is transferred to a fine paper that uses dye sublimation inks . The paper is placed on the lanyard and pressure and heat are applied, causing the image to become enmeshed into the material . The design remains smooth because of the method used, allowing for an image that is less prone to abrasion or fading .
A lanyard can also come with different hardware . The O-ring is common for using with a whistle or keys . It may also have a split-connector so that it is easily removed and snapped back into place . A swivel snap hook is good for ID badges that have a rectangular hole at the top . The bulldog clip is the type that when squeezed, both serrated jaws open, similar to how an alligator clip works .
Lanyards are inexpensive and can be purchased in bulk for promotional or professional use, or in single units .
