The Anatomy of a Lanyard: Materials, Printing, and Accessories

Before delving into the Colour Waves process for lanyards printing, let’s break down the key components that come together to create your custom lanyards. Understanding the possibilities helps you narrow down options for the perfect accessories promoting your brand.

Lanyard Materials

The material sets the overall look, feel, and durability of your lanyards. Colour Waves offers everything from basics like polyester to eco-friendly bamboo.

Here’s an overview:

Polyester

The most popular and affordable option, polyester lanyards feature vibrant prints at a low cost per piece making them ideal for large volume orders. The smooth material also holds prints nicely without fraying over time.

Nylon

Known for its durability and tensile strength, nylon withstands heavy strain without damage. It works well for robust name badge attachments. Offers rich colours although screen printing can cause some fraying.

Bamboo

For brands focused on sustainability, bamboo makes an eco-friendly choice. Although more expensive than synthetic blends, bamboo has a silky soft feel and artisanal look. Since it's a natural fibre, slight variation occurs.

PET Plastic

Made from recyclable plastic pellets, PET plastic lanyards suit smaller budgets while keeping quality high. They withstand heat exposure better than other common materials as well. Fairly thick.

Polyester-Nylon Blends

As a hybrid between the two popular options, polyester-nylon blended lanyards merge the vibrant prints and soft feel of polyester with the durability of nylon. Provides a balanced option.

With classic hues like black, blue, red and green or options like white and yellow for a friendly vibe, colour choice plays a role too. Or go full custom with pantone matched shades.

Printing Styles for Maximum Visual Impact

How your logo, slogan, website or hashtag gets emblazoned on the lanyards comes next. We offer everything from intricate multi-colour prints to cost-effective one-colour stamps.

Here’s an overview:

Screen Printing

Using a mesh screen, ink gets pressed through the template openings to imprint designs on the lanyards. Allow for intricate details and bold blocks of colour. Unique screens made per order. Most affordable for complex creatives.

Digital Printing

Using direct to garment printers, digital printing applies graphics and photographs as full-colour images. Achieve precision matching and photorealistic quality impossible with screening. Better for gradient tones.

Embroidery

Ideal for dimensional elements like 3D logos, embroidery sews thread through the material to build up your designs with detectable texture and depth. Precision placement and colour matching.

Debossing

For subtly stylish prints, debossing presses designs into the material rather than applying ink. Creates professional etching without heavy prints.

Hot Stamping

Using printed foil and heat application, hot stamping brands designs onto lanyards with a sleek metallic finish in gold, silver or other shades. Provides elegant accenting.

Each method allows for particular design aesthetics ranging from bold visibility to polished subtlety. We help you determine what best suits your brand identity and target usage.

Accessories - Badge Reels, Bullets, and More

No lanyard is complete without the perfect accessories to match your vision. Optional add-ons like badge reels and swiveling bulldog clips offer functional ways to attach IDs or keys while reinforcing branding through repetition.

Here’s an overview of possibilities:

  • Badge Reels Retractable coils with clips offer a secure way to access cards and badges without fuss. Emphasize branding with custom printed reels. Increase order costs.
  • Lobel Clips Also called bulldog clips, these plastic attachments swivel 360° for quick card access. Affordable way to attach IDs or keys. Very secure.
  • Oval Hooks As a simple attachment option, oval hooks offer an open design for attaching badge straps or key rings. One of the most affordable add-ons.
  • Carabiners Ideal for keys, water bottles or badges, secure carabiner clips provide easy access while keeping items attached. Offers a sleek modern vibe.

For many organizations, badge reels provide the most versatility for accessing identification cards without adding bulk or getting tangled like lanyards alone. We explore accessories more during our order discussions.

Lanyards Printing Process at Colour Waves

Now that you understand the key considerations and possibilities for creating custom lanyards, let’s explore the seamless process Colour Waves follows to bring stunning bespoke designs to life.

From first inquiry to production and delivery, our lanyards printing process keeps the lines of communication open while eliminating hidden hassles.

Here is what you can expect:

Step 1: Design Consultation

The process starts by pairing you with a dedicated account manager who learns about your brand, target usage, design aesthetic and other needs. They help you navigate possibilities and narrow down options through open conversations via phone and email.

To visualize possibilities, they can provide digital proofs or even physical samples showcasing materials, printing styles and attachments. This design consultation results in you landing on the perfect materials and style for your needs.

Step 2: Quoting

After deciding on materials, printing styles, accessory add-ons and other details, your account manager provides an all-inclusive quote outlining exactly what is covered. This allows you to budget appropriately and know what to expect from order minimums to production timelines.

If any concerns arise or you want to explore other options, your account manager revises until the plan meets your complete satisfaction. No rigid policies or hidden fees get in the way of great service.

Step 3: Approvals

With a clear written quote in place, a digital proof gets made to showcase how your vision translates onto the selected garments. After your review and approval, production starts.

However, if you want any changes to materials, positioning, sizing, colours or other elements, your account manager coordinates revisions until you love the final design. Ensuring your complete satisfaction remains the priority.

Step 4: Production & Quality Inspection

With final approval, your custom order enters production where screenprinters, embroiders and expert makers bring the design to life. Each material, print style and attachment gets hand-inspected for issues as creation progresses. This prevents damaged, tangled or defective products from occurring.

As a final quality check, your account manager inspects the full order upon completion. If anything falls short of standards, the team addresses it before shipment. You receive only perfectly printed custom lanyards ready for use upon arrival.

Step 5: Shipment & Support

Your final order gets securely packaged along with an invoice outlining everything included for your records. Free standard shipping via FedEx or UPS expedites delivery so you have products in hand fast.

Should any unlikely issues occur after receipt, simply reach out to your dedicated account manager for prompt support. At Colour Waves, we stand behind every order and prioritize your ongoing satisfaction.

Why Colour Waves Outperforms Other Lanyards Printing Companies

With so many printers promising perfect lanyards, it helps to understand what sets Colour Waves apart from the competition. Our specialized focus on corporate branding products enables us to master quality while eliminating common pain points.

Here is how we outperform other providers:

  • No Rigid Order Minimums Unlike massive factories demanding high volumes to maximize profits, our boutique setup allows for flexibility. No minimum order quantities exist. We customize production waves to suit your budget and needs with reasonable price breaks for added volume.
  • Faster Turnaround Time By keeping operations centralized in our Dubai-based production facility instead of outsourcing offshore, we accelerate turnaround. Most lanyard orders ship in just 10-15 working days from proof approval. Some rush options available too.
  • Superior Colour Precision Thanks to our integrated design team and hands-on makers, we nail precise pantone matching for branded shades. No color variation happens between orders. You receive perfect colour consistency batch after batch.
  • Flawless Print Quality With screen printing, advanced digital printing, and embroidery under one roof, our makers master production techniques for flawless logo reproduction. No bleeding, cracking, or fading prints after repeated use.
  • Clear & Open Communication You work directly with your dedicated account manager throughout the full process. No frustrating automated responses or overseas service agents provide a better branded merchandise ordering experience.
  • Careful In-House Finishing Most factories mass pack orders by throwing goods loosely into boxes unaware of potential damage that causes. Our team gently finishes each product before hand-packaging orders to prevent defects.

The Colour Waves Difference: Why It Matters

At the end of the day, while many lanyards suppliers can deliver printed neck straps, the full experience matters most. Hidden hassles like rigid minimums, miscommunications causing errors, and flimsy construction after a few months quickly erode ROI.

By contrast, our specialized approach eliminates headaches so you simply receive flawless branded merch that performs year after year. The peace of mind provided drives lasting satisfaction and repeat business.

In the end, custom lanyards should work as hard as your employees do by providing visible brand exposure wherever they go. With Colour Waves as your merch partner, that’s exactly what you get. For custom lanyards that perform as hard your team does, trust Colour Waves. Discover the difference customer-centric production makes.

FAQ's

We accept vector files like EPS, AI, and PDF for the highest quality. For photographs and complex designs, high resolution JPG, PNG or PSD files work best. Our design team can help reformat any files into print ready formats too.

Classic colours like red, blue, green and black never fail. White and yellow work nicely too. Vibrant tones pop. We recommend darker bottle greens over lime shades as lighter colours show dirt over time. Metallic gold and silver prints add nice accents too.

Badge reels provide the most versatile and secure way to access identification cards. The sturdy retractable coil and clip keeps IDs in place but accessible when needed. For cost savings, bulldog clips also work. Lanyards alone often lead to tangling issues.

For the most intricate details with precision colour matching screened printing can’t be beaten. Using a unique screen made for each order, tailor-made ink application achieves stunning definition in fonts, logos elements and other aspects unable to translate through digital printing.

We accommodate all order sizes, but 500-1000 units make a good starting point for custom production waves. Enough volume to merit creation of specialized screens yet not overzealous until usage and reception tested. We provide reasonable cost breaks at higher volumes too once adoption ramps up.
