The Lanyards Store

When it’s time to plan your event you’re going to need some way to differentiate your staff from the event goers.  If you’re on a budget or you want something that stands out because your staff will be wearing the same type of clothing as the guests, then a lanyard could be the very thing you need.  A lanyard is a simple accessory that can do so much and they are incredibly cost effective.  A custom lanyard with a motto, event title, or business name can run you as little as 17 cents!

T-shirts cost a small fortune to make, especially if you only need a few.  Perhaps you need to make an order of 20 units or less.  You will need to spend an upwards of two or three hundred dollars in order to have shirts printed and shipped.  Lanyards, on the other hand, are easily printable and shippable for a far lower cost and have the exact same effectiveness as a t-shirt in marking your staff.  In addition to this, t-shirts can’t do some of the things a lanyard can do without any additional costs and additions.

A lanyard can be made with a cell phone strap in the end so that staff can keep their phones close by in case of emergency and a t-shirt cannot have this functionality.  Perhaps you run a catering staff, security, or even a host of ushers for a fashion event.  A t-shirt can certainly differentiate them from the attendees, but they cannot be reusable from event to event.  A lanyard can be printed with your company name and the employee’s position for every event you might work, but they can also come with ID badge holders that attach at the end.

These sheaths can hold any number of cards you can print which means you can customize these to each event and make it possible to reuse them from event to event.  These plastic badge holders can also be used to carry around promotional items such as free tickets to the bar or discount cards for the host’s business to be given to the attendees.  Lanyards really are versatile items for a business to use in place of more expensive identifiers.  They are especially good when your events are such that your employees are temporary for each event.

If you want to deck them out to show who and what their purpose is without spending a fortune to uniform them, then printed lanyards are absolutely the way to go.  Get creative with colors, wording, and lanyard accessories.  The cell phone cords and the clear plastic badge holders aren’t the only options.  You can also get light-up LED attachments that are printable and highly visible.  Enjoy the versatility of a lanyard again and again, from event to event, and year after year.

Badge lanyards and various name badge holders are important accessories for conventions, expos, conferences and many other large scale functions. They immediately indicated which type of participant the person is, not only by text, but also with the use of different colors. Ordering for large functions can be overwhelming, even to an experienced planner. The following tips should make the entire process much easier and ensure perfect execution of your large lanyard order.

When beginning your plan, it’s important to step back and think about your event. Exactly who will be attending? What are the categories of people attending and do they all need name badges?  Vendors, exhibitors, and patrons may come to mind first. However, support staff, such as security, caterers, cashiers and help desk staff will also need to be appropriately labeled as such. Clearly indicating who is who, ensures that your event will run much more smoothly.

The use of color is a great way to visually indicate who is who. The fabric of the lanyard may be different colors as well as the name badge itself. Quality lanyard providers offer name badges with a colored strip at the bottom, which is a very effective visual cue.

So which colors to use? Basic solid colors are best. The color should clearly and quickly allow the viewer to assess who that person is. For instance, many are familiar with seeing security staff wearing black with white, which makes this the ideal color scheme for indicating security staff. In this instance, the best option would be to order black lanyards with black and white name badges. Another option is to order black and white name badges that pin onto the persons shirt. There is an enormous variety of lanyards and name badge combinations and attachments that are possible to order. However, its advisable to keep colors and styles fairly basic considering that the main objective is to simply and quickly communication of who is who.

Take complete inventory or who is attending. Write down each categories that will need name badges. Ordering name badges and lanyards for staff, vendors or exhibitors is fairly simple. Most likely you will have a pretty accurate count already due to the fact that vendors and exhibitors generally are required to sign up for the event.

Guests, however, may be more complicated to estimate. You really have no way of knowing just how many people will decide to attend until the event takes place. In order to estimate how many name badges you might need, refer to records of previous events of a similar type. How many people attended those events? Was your marketing endeavor as thorough and will it attract a similar quantity of people? Careful comparison and assessment may help you to come to a realistic estimate. It’s always a good idea to order a little extra.

Once you’ve figured out your numbers, you’re ready to work on any design you may need. If you’re ordering lanyards, you may wish to order a message, slogan or motto on the lanyard itself. A message can also be added to printed name badges. If the event itself has a slogan or catchy phrase, the message will be enforced by printing it where possible. Not only are these printed lanyards helpful, but can become souvenirs of the event as well.

When placing your complex lanyard and name badge order be sure to order early enough so that they are ready in time for your event.
