Printed lanyards are typically made of polyester, nylon, or cotton and
are of a flat braid tubing. This style of lanyard provides ample flat
surface area for the placement of names, logos, slogans, or symbols.
There are thousands of businesses that specialize in the production
and printing of lanyards. Printing techniques vary from a hot stamp
(basic quality) and silk screen (medium quality) to a more costly dye
sublimation process that results in a premium quality print. Printed
lanyards are also available in a wide variety of patterns including
leopard print and cow print. The standard width of printed lanyards is
3/8", 5/8", ?" or 1".

For those who desire a lanyard made from a material other than
polyester, nylon, or cotton, there is a wide variety of other material
to choose from. Atypical lanyard materials include PVC, fleece, denim,
satin, and leather.

Printed lanyards are typically inexpensive and, if purchased in great
quantity, they are available for as little as a few cents per piece.
Individuals are able to choose the length, color, width, material, and
customization of their printed lanyard. As common sense would dictate,
the intricacy or amount of print has a large affect on the final price
of the lanyard.

There is a high demand for printed lanyards and a large number of
companies that supply them. Most businesses are able to accept an
order for a printed lanyard and produce and ship it to the buyer
within one to three business days.

When choosing a printed lanyard there are many decisions to make. In
addition to selecting a specific style, it is important to decide on
the best type of device to secure the object. Some examples of
attachment hardware are swivel hooks, key rings, and badge holders.
Typically the object to be secured will dictate which device should be
used. For example, most appropriate for securing keys would be a key
ring or split ring. It is extremely important to choose a high quality
device when securing an object of importance.
