Product Design, Customisation, and Tech Pack
As we talked about earlier different materials suit different purposes.
In the same way, now that we are in the design phase, you need to think about how different colour schemes and prints will suit you best.

We then place our mesh, which has a print of your design on it, over the top of the lanyards.
After we have transferred the paint onto the Lanyards we place them into a heat press below a silicone sheet so that the ink sets firmly.
Dye Sublimation is the most up to date technology when it comes to printing Lanyards.
This process will produce a printed image that is very smooth to the touch. It works like this because the dye bleeds into the material rather than sitting on top.
This printing process creates edge to edge prints across your lanyards.
Dye Sublimation uses the full Pantone colour range. This means that your design can be as complex as you wish without any loss of detail.
The process starts with a designer adapting your design to the lanyard’s sizes.
The next step involves printing your design onto heat resistant transfer paper as a reverse image of your final design.

This result in a textured more natural feel.
Simple designs are best to prevent the distortion of the design.
It gives a very professional and classic look if done well.
We start by putting the design into the machine.
The machine is adjusted to suit your design.
After this, the lanyards are fed through the machine and your design is stitched onto them.
The end product is a very strong high-class Lanyard that will feel soft to touch but will last a long time.
Fastenings, Adjusters, and Breakaways
Wholesale custom lanyards come with both metal and plastic options. You can also in some cases have different colour finishes.
What you use as a fastener will depend on what you want your fastener to hold.
This is also important as you also don’t want your lanyard fastener to be too heavy or too weak because you chose wrongly.
A safety aspect needs to be considered for your lanyards if they might be used with children, around heavy equipment or in medical centers.
These extra options come at a cheap cost. But they add much more value to the end product.
Consumer Goods Regulations and Standards
Here are some of the laws that need to be thought about in the US and Europe.
Europe – In Europe, there is a law called REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and restriction of Chemicals) which restricts the use of chemicals and heavy metals in all products, including textile goods.
Third party testing is not required by law, but non-compliance results in fines and a forced recall.
US, California – In California Proposition 65 restricts more than 800 substances in products, including textiles. Compliance is vital for all companies with more than 10 employees, selling in, or to buyers in, California.
US as a whole – In the US a law called FHSA (Federal Hazardous Substances Act) restricts many substances, some of which are found in textiles goods.
We have shown the laws in Europe and the US as these areas tend to be the strictest.
Even so, it is worth checking with the lanyard manufacturer and/or lanyard supplier to make sure that their lanyards meet the laws in the place where you are.
Lanyard Trade Shows in China
If you are going to be a regular customer or you are ordering a large number of lanyards then you might want to visit a trade show.
These events are good because you can meet many lanyard suppliers in one place and compare their products.
You can talk to the lanyards manufacturers and lanyard suppliers about your needs and get a lot of answers on the day.
It is often easier to get clear answers when you meet face to face.

Use Cases for Lanyards
It may surprise you to see the number of uses wholesale custom lanyards have. As we explain some of the most popular uses you will begin to see why they are such a versatile product.
Lanyrds for Keys – One of the main use cases for lanyard users is as a tool to hold their keys. Lanyards offer a secure method that ensures your precious keys don’t fall out of your pocket.
Lanyards for Sale – Lanyards don’t just have to be handed out for free. They are great items to stock in your gift shop as souvenirs from a certain place. They could also be sold to raise money for charity with the charity logo on them.
You could design a variety of original patterns and sell them. You could also sell them as novelty items with funny phrases on them. There is a big market for customers who want to buy lanyards.
Lanyards for Women/Men – You can have gender-specific lanyards. You might come up with different slogans that each gender specifically.
This could even be used for husbands and wives or mothers and fathers.
Lanyards for Cruises – When you go on a cruise your room key-card is also used to purchase food and drinks on the boat. Seeing as you have to carry these cards everywhere you go and they are needed for everything you do on the boat you don’t want to lose them.
This is where lanyards become very useful. You can use a lanyard with a cardholder to make sure you don’t lose your room key-card. It also means you don’t have to take your wallet everywhere as your key-card is used as cash on the boat.
Lanyards for Phones – If your phone has a strap hole on it then you can attach a lanyard to it which stops you from losing it or dropping it.
If your phone doesn’t have a strap hole then some phone cases do which will make it extra safe as you have the protection of both the case and lanyard.
Lanyards for Glasses – Glasses are delicate and the last thing you want to do is drop them as they will likely break. This is where lanyards come in.
You can make attachments at the end of the lanyard that will attach to the arms of the glasses. This ensures that your glasses will remain securely around your neck.
Lanyards for Badges – When you carry an ID badge for work you don’t want to always get it out of your pocket. Also, it may not clip on properly to your jacket or shirt and therefore might fall off.
A lanyard is a perfect solution for carrying your ID badge as it will sit around your neck comfortably always visible to whoever needs to see it.
