What does dye-sublimation printing mean on a full-color polyester ribbon lanyard?

Dye-sublimation infuses ink into the polyester ribbon fibers instead of sitting on top, so the full-color artwork will not crack or peel with daily wear. This process is what allows unlimited colors and photographic detail on both sides of the lanyard. It is the standard method for reproducing gradients and complex logos on fabric.

Can I print a different design on each side of the full color lanyard?

The imprint covers the front and back in full color, and many buyers run a logo on one side and an event name or website on the other. Send artwork for both sides, and the free proof shows each side before production starts.

What is a breakaway on a lanyard and do I need one?

A breakaway is a plastic safety clasp that pops apart under pressure so the lanyard releases if it snags, which lowers choking risk. It is recommended for schools, warehouses, and any setting with machinery or children. You can position it at the back of the neck or on the side of the strap.

Can names or numbers be added to individual lanyards?

Yes, personalization adds individual names or consecutive numbering to each strap. Named staff credentials and numbered access passes are the usual uses. Share your name or number list in a spreadsheet with your artwork.

What attachment should I choose for event badge lanyards?

Choose the attachment based on what it clips to, since this made-to-order lanyard lets you select the hardware along with the material and optional breakaway. A swivel hook suits badge holders, while a bulldog clip grips plastic card sleeves. Tell your rep whether you are attaching ID cards, badge reels, or keys.

How wide and long is the 5/8 inch full-color polyester ribbon lanyard?

The lanyard is 5/8 inch wide and runs 34 to 35 inches long, a standard over-the-neck length for adult wear. The imprint background height is 5/8 inch with text up to 3/8 inch tall. Keep small text bold so it stays readable at that height.

What is the minimum order and how do I match my brand color?

Bulk orders start at 100 units, and any lanyard color can be matched when you supply a PMS reference. Because it is made to order, allow production lead time and request a proof before the full run. Ask for a quote at your quantity for exact pricing.

Description

This full color lanyard is double-sided polyester ribbon, 5/8" wide, with your design sublimated in four-color process on the front and back. Personalization adds a name or a consecutive number to each strap, so one order can cover a whole staff roster or a numbered list of event passes.

At 5/8" wide, it is a flat polyester lanyard that sits light around the neck, and it runs 34" to 35" long. Double-sided ribbon means the print shows on both faces, even when the strap flips. Dye sublimation carries photos, flags, gradients and fine patterns across the whole strap, which suits lanyards for events such as reunions, fundraisers and conferences. For lanyards with names, each piece prints with its own line from your list, and consecutive numbering works the same way for passes and credentials. Any strap color is available when you provide a PMS code. The sample shown repeats a group name over a flag pattern on both sides and ends in a split ring.

Many groups print a full color logo on one side and an event name on the other. For more room, browse all custom lanyards by width, or compare other dye sublimated lanyards in wider straps and recycled fabric. Because sublimation has no limit on ink colors, this polyester lanyard holds detailed art, small type and photos that a one-color print would lose. An optional plastic safety breakaway can sit at the back of the neck or on the side.

Send your artwork and name list for a free, no-obligation quote. A free visual proof shows both sides and the personalization before production, and bulk quotation is available for programs that run all year.
