Lanyards can be made of cord, cotton, nylon or polyester
twill. The cord type is the least expensive but cannot be
printed because it lacks the flat surface of the strap-type.
Some have a small holder containing a retractable reel to
use with an ID badge or keys. They might also have breakaway
connectors so that if the lanyard gets caught it will
release before it pulls on the neck. Some lanyards could be
made of metal and beaded or could be a chain of beads. |

The strap-type custom lanyard can be made of cotton,
polyester or nylon and are often printed with a company
name, product or logo. There are generally three different
printing methods used: hot stamping, screen printing, or dye
sublimation.
To hot stamp a metal plate is designed according to artwork
provided by the customer. The plate is heated then a color
film is placed over the lanyard. The plate is applied with
pressure, which heats the film, transferring the color and
design to the material. Hot stamping uses a single color and
is the most economical. Hot stamping is suitable for many
applications such as trade shows, reunions, student badges
and so on. |

 Screen-printing provides a higher quality result that is
more durable. A fine mesh screen is made from the customer's
artwork. The screen is laid on top of the material and the
colored ink is applied over the screen. A squeegee pushes
the ink through the mesh screen to create the design beneath
on the fabric. Heat cures the ink for a high-resolution
result.
Dye sublimation is a superior printing process that can
create multicolored, highly detailed designs. With this
method the customer's design is transferred to a fine paper
that uses dye sublimation inks. The paper is placed on the
lanyard and pressure and heat are applied, causing the image
to become enmeshed into the material. The design remains
smooth because of the method used, allowing for an image
that is less prone to abrasion or fading. |

A personalized lanyard can also come with different
hardware. The O-ring is common for using with a whistle or
keys. It may also have a split-connector so that it is
easily removed and snapped back into place. A swivel
snap hook is good for ID badges that have a rectangular hole
at the top, and the bulldog clip is the type that when
squeezed, both serrated jaws open, similar to how an
alligator clip works. |
