A lanyard is a cord or strap made of any material that is worn around your neck. A lanyard is composed of a small attachment that enables it to hold small objects. Badge lanyards can be used to hang identification cards or badges. Badge lanyards are commonly seen in trade exhibitions/conferences, in schools, corporations and government agency offices.

Lanyards come in different forms: there are promotional lanyards, which are also known as printed lanyards. These lanyards can be used to print a company name or design, and can be given away at trade shows as a form of advertising for your company. Printed lanyards can be made of metal, nylon, rubber, polytwill or cotton, and have plastic, metal, magnetic, or safety clips attached to it. Printed lanyards can also be used to advertise an even such as a conference, or sporting competition.

Customized lanyards can be manufactured using rubber, beads, gems, crystals, pearls and other materials. Cords can also come in any color you wish, plain or patterned with plaid designs, animal prints, floral designs and the like.

There are different printing methods that can be applied on promotional lanyards: hot stamping produces a one-color design and provides the least durable way to produce your artwork design. Screen-printing also produces designs using a single color, but the printed artwork or design logo stays on the lanyard for a longer period of time than those printed through hot stamping. If you wish to produce a design with many colors, and of extreme high quality, then you should opt to have your lanyards printed using the dye sublimation process. Dye sublimation produces more detailed and smooth designs that are more durable against fading or scratching.

Printed lanyards can be ordered in bulk in affordable prices: the larger amount of printed lanyards you order, the lower the price will be for each piece. Lanyards can also be bought individually from retail stores, but will definitely cost you more.
