We’ve all heard the expression, but what exactly are bootlace lanyards. On an expense scale they are cheap lanyards to purchase. Similar to your shoelace, they are usually tubular and are a woven lanyard that you print onto. Most common widths are 10mm, 12m and 15mm. It’s unusual to find them wider than this as they become hard to print with the tube section moving around. Only restriction on these cheap lanyards is the types of lanyard attachments you can add. Clip connectors are too wide and they are not robust enough for water bottle holders or other heavy attachments. Due to their cost and being cheap to purchase they are popular for bulk purchase for larger scale events where budgets are important.
These lanyards are constructed from up to 12 different spools of thread and are commonly done with polyester material. Y ou can find some more unusual materials on the market such as bamboo or cotton, but the most commonly used material is polyester because they end up being the cheapest lanyards to produce due to the cost of the raw material. So, if you’re looking for cheap lanyards, the bootlace style is definitely one to consider
I was recently in Australia and I noticed bootlace lanyards were very popular. Did not know you called them bootlace lanyards, just thought they were printed laces. Bloody good idea though.
