You have seen them and may even have a few from tradeshows or promotional events. Whether referred to as a neck lanyard, neck cord, string, neck chain, bolero etc., they are everywhere! And for many good reasons.

Custom imprinted lanyards are an inexpensive way to:

• Promote and visualize your brand, logo, message and identity at conventions, trade shows, sporting or music events, outings, schools, fundraisers and of course, the workplace.
• No longer just used as traditional hands-free carriers of objects like keys, whistles or identification badges. Now lanyards can be fashion accessories used to secure cell phones, cameras and other small electronic devices.
• Retail stores are also using custom configured lanyards for displaying products for sale - the applications are seemingly limitless!

Many different styles from breakaway lanyards to beaded chains

And while lanyards are typically worn around the neck, it’s not unusual for them to be hanging out of pockets or belt loops, wrapped around as wrist straps or attached to and hanging from many other things!

Contemporary Lanyards

Contemporary lanyards are constructed from various materials and printing techniques such as:

• Silk-screening, woven-in and dye sublimation that combines to offer rich and vibrant reproductions of art and designs.
• Art can be replicated digitally on premium lanyards to ensure exact reproduction of graphic details. This is especially useful for industries where fashion and art plays a critical role in recognition and identity.

If you think of lanyards as a simple tool to display credentials, it’s time you take another look.
