In terms of visual appeal, the use of printed lanyards can be very effective. For larger corporate companies, they might want their logos or an advertising blurb printed on the lanyards, or for individuals they might use them for things like birthday parties or special events.
There are some things to consider when doing printed lanyards and the most important is to make sure you source the printing and the lanyard from the same company. Trying to purchase plain lanyards and then getting them printed elsewhere can be very difficult to do and not many printers in New Zealand are geared for this type of thing. It can also save you money in the long term as printed lanyards can vary in quality from company to company, so it’s best to choose someone reputable and get them to deal with the materials and colours.
Another important decision with printed lanyards is the colour of the lanyard and the colour of the print. Always try to get a good contrast between the two. A black lanyard with white print will obviously stand out, or red with black print. Just try and avoid similar colours as they will tend to bleed into each other and then you’ll end up with a printed lanyard that nobody can read. This would just end up being a waste of both your time and money. Always consult hte lanyard manufacturer as they will be able to advise on colour mixes to achieve the best results
I agree on getting help if you’re doing printed lanyards. I had to organise some for work and had no idea what I was doing. The company I used was really helpful and came up with a colour combination that looked great and made our business name easy to read. If you’re going to get printed lanyards done, then I would highly recommend consulting with whichever lanyard supplier you decide to go with
Lanyards are becoming popular with event organizers here in Timaru on the south Island.Have been presented with lanyards on arrival at the last few events we have attended.
We got some lanyards printed up a while ago – the lanyard company we used gave us some great ideas for using our logo and print on the lanyard – we ended up with our phone number and website on them instead of just the logo which is all we originally thought we could have.
It does pay to ask for advice.
