What Printing Methods Are Available for Printed Lanyards?

Printed lanyards can be produced using screen printing, which is ideal for simple logos, bold text, and solid colours, offering durability and cost efficiency for large orders. Dye sublimation supports full-colour artwork, gradients, and detailed graphics, making it suitable for high-impact visual designs.

Heat transfer printing provides vibrant and sharp imagery on selected materials, while woven branding integrates the artwork directly into the fabric for long-lasting results. These methods allow organisations to select the finish that best aligns with their visual identity and intended use.
