My First Mashup

A lanyard is simply a device that allows you to secure something to your person so that you have easy access to it such as an identity card or event name tag. Commonly, a lanyard can be worn around the neck, but can also be worn on the arm, waist or wrist.

Usually, lanyards are made up of a cord; nylon, cotton, or polyester twill. Several different lanyards are created from denim, fleece, PVC, satin or even leather.

Attaching your item to the lanyard has a few options or methods. Alligator or bulldog clips, swivel hooks (metal or plastic), spring hooks or split rings, are a few of the ways.

Nowadays, a lot of people make use of lanyards. Lanyards have become very popular these days. It is now possible to be able to say ‘hi’ to so many people by their first name now, because they are working their work ID cards around their necks, with their names clearly showing. They become welded almost to their body!

A plastic badge holder is often used to protect the badge from wear and tear. Most companies that sell lanyards usuallyt also sell you all the accessories too like badge holders & other attachment items. If you have security passes one thing you might want to buy for your lanyard is a retractable badge reel. This chord lets the user to scan their security card without needing to take off the lanyard. The cards can be retracted close to their pocket so it won’t swing around the neck. It is most useful in work environments where there are moving machines. They are less likely to cause an accident with a lanyard chord becoming entangled in moving machinery. Should this be needed, you can get lanyards with built in plastic safety breakaways.

Of course, lanyards are also great for advertising purposes. It can double as an advertising tag and name tag if the lanyard is custom printed with a company logo, slogan, or name.

You can print on lanyards. The flat ones made out of polyester twill, nylon, or cotton has the necessary flat surface area and the right printable material. There are 3 different printing techniques that can be used, namely hot stamping, screen-printing and dye sublimation. Hot stamping is the cheapest normally seeing it only uses one color. This method is best for badges used at trade shows or by students. Screen-printing uses colored ink. It also produces a higher quality and longer lasting image in case you need a more durable and better quality finish. Dye sublimation is the most expensive technique, which makes sense seeing it produces the most detailed and longest lasting image.
