Lanyards for badges are an accessory with a wide range of applications, in demand in trade, when organizing public events, presentations, and conferences. The string is not just a holder for a badge with the participant’s name, it becomes a tool for promotion, advertising, and corporate style.

To ensure the long service life of the accessory, it is important to choose the right material for its manufacture – durable, bright, resistant to wear and mechanical damage, and fading under direct ultraviolet rays.

What is a lanyard?

Lanyard – a strap sewn into a loop, designed to be worn around the neck, with an attached carabiner, clip, or hook. There are many clamps to choose from depending on the use of your sling.

Laces can be made from cotton, nylon, or polyester twill. The cord is the least expensive but cannot be printed on because it lacks a belt-type flat surface.

Straps can be made from cotton, and nylon, and are often printed with a company or team name, product, or logo. Three printing methods are commonly used: hot stamping, screen printing, or dye sublimation.

How is a lanyard used?

For short-term wear, such as conference and exhibition badges, choose lightweight straps with a split ring.

Choose full-color straps (commonly referred to as satin) for more detailed personalization. Use durable straps with detachable clips or safety releases for extended or daily use.

For employees working at night and in low-light environments such as night security, consider using reflective straps.

If the strap is for ID cards, event access passes, or similar use, be sure to order badge holders as well.

What Material to Choose for The Lace?

Customized lanyards for fastening badges are produced from various natural and synthetic materials, which have their own advantages and disadvantages during operation. Many companies of bracelets offer only high-quality materials for badge laces, which are in high demand in the market. They are reliable, durable, strong, and aesthetic.

Lace materials:

• Polyester is a synthetic material that is resistant to wear and tear, retaining its original shape and appearance for a long time. Polyester does not fade in direct sunlight, and pellets do not form on its surface.
• Nylon is a material with an aesthetic shiny surface that can attract the attention of others. Polyester laces are produced for mass promotional events paired with bracelets with a QR code in a wide range of colors. Like polyester, nylon does not fade under the influence of ultraviolet radiation and keeps its original shape for a long time.
• Tubular fabric is a material with increased parameters of lightness and elasticity. It has an attractive appearance, keeps its shape, and does not require special care.
• Wool is a natural material with unique performance characteristics. Woolen laces do not wrinkle, do not fade in direct sunlight, are resistant to wear, and keep their shape for many years.

Lanyards for attaching a badge are made from natural or artificial materials, depending on the requirements and preferences. The color version of the accessory is selected considering the format of the event or the corporate style of the company.

For ease of use, the laces are additionally equipped with accessories – a carabiner, a clothespin, or a retractor. The carabiner is suitable for a badge with a round hole, and a clothespin – with an oblong one.
