What is the cord?
The cord is a cord or strap that is worn around the neck to hold an identification badge, whistle, keys or other small object. Lanyards in use can be seen everywhere according to businesses, schools, hospitals, special events, conventions, meetings and many recreational activities.
Lanyards can also be used as an advertising tool with a customized logo or name printed on the strap. They come in different colors and types with different hardware connected to the bottom for holding the ID of the badge, whistle or the like. The type of cord is the least expensive, but it cannot be printed because it lacks a flat surface of the strap type. Some have a small bulb containing a retractable reel that should be used with a badge ID or key. They may also have torn connectors, so if the cord is caught, they will release before it pulls to the neck.ylon and is often printed with the name of the company or team, product or logo. Generally, three different methods of printing are used: hot, printing or dye sublimation.

The hot mountain stamp is suitable for many applications such as business shows, meetings, student badges, etc.

The screen is laid on the top of the material and the color ink is applied to the screen. Squeeegee pushs ink over the net screen and creates a design of the fabric. Heat heals ink for high -resolution result.
Dye sublimation is an excellent print process that can create multicolored, highly detailed designs. With this method, the customer's design is transferred to the Jempaper that uses inks of sublimation dye. The paper is placed on the cord and the pressure and heat is applied, causing the image to wrap in the material. The design remains smooth due to the method used, allowing a image that is less susceptible to abrasion or fading.
Lanyard can also come up with other hardware. The O-ring is common for use with a whistle or key. It can also have a divided connector, so it is easy to remove and set back to the site. The rotary Snaphook is good for the ID of the badges that have a rectangular hole at the top, and the bulldog clip is a type that, when compressed, both serrated jaws open, similar to how alligator works.
