Considerations When Purchasing Custom Printed Lanyards

Categorized: Printing | No comments

A new fad is catching on in some workplaces, which includes the use of a custom lanyard. This is an item worn about the neck to hold keys or identification badges and comes in all types of materials and designs. The custom printed lanyards are neck items that use a strip of fabric material for the item. This material is what can be imprinted or embossed with any type of name, logo or address. There are three basic techniques used to imprint the information onto the neck strap. They can be screen printed, dyed, or woven.

The screen printed type is the most popular choice because it can be done on a variety of materials, including nylon, cotton and polyester. Custom lettering that uses a thread embroidery style, may be limited to certain types of fabrics and might also cost more per piece than screen printed items. The cost of method to custom design your lanyard will differ according to the method used. The dyed styles are generally created through a sublimation method which will print your information on both sides of the material. This may not match the front and back exactly in the process, but you can get a better overall custom design that will be long lasting.

An example cost for purchasing lanyards custom made with the sublimation dye, would be $2.30 for a box of 250 to 499 basic lanyards. There will be an additional charge for the type of clasp you want on them. A basic O ring style would be free, while other designs can cost 30 to 50 cents extra. The charge to have the items dyed is another $45. By far the custom designing price is the most expensive part of purchasing these items. You will also have any shipping and tax charges to include in your final purchase price.

These imprinted items are often used as promotional gifts at trade shows. It’s an easy and inexpensive way to advertise your business. This type of promotional lanyard is also widely used in medical facilities and may be purchased in bulk with the name of the hospital or care center on the fabric. They can also be used for school fundraisers or for sports teams. Most of the companies that custom design these lanyards will offer you the choice of inputting a certain number of letters as your message. It is up to you, what you want those letters to say.

You will also find companies that will accept an image file to use as a logo on your design. Different materials will be available in different color selections, so it is best to look at all your accessory options when customizing, to get the best merchandise for your money.
