To let more customers understand the customization process of customizing lanyards, we have collected some frequently asked questions mentioned by customers in different ways. These questions and puzzles must come to mind when you try to design lanyards for the first time. We have summarized and generalized these common questions below. Our professional team will provide solutions for you in detail. We hope that the answers can help customers solve problems promptly.

Question One: How many colors can the dye-sublimated lanyards make?

The number of colors has no limit for dye-sublimated lanyards. All dye-sublimated lanyards are applied to the advanced dye-sublimation printing process, which means they are dyed with different inks. The dye-sublimation printing process is finished in two steps: the first step is to print your design on paper using the inks, and the second step is to use strong pressure and high temperature to print graphics onto the surface of lanyards. These inks with different colors can penetrate the surface and sink into the fabric of lanyards, which is why the dye-sublimated lanyards have a smooth surface. Additionally, the dye-sublimated lanyards allow us to print any graphics, including full-color photographs and gradients.

Question Two: Which kind of lanyards is softer?

Lanyards can be classified into many types, such as polyester lanyards, nylon lanyards,dye-sublimated lanyards, and so on. The softness of lanyards is different. Dye-sublimated lanyards are the softest among all the lanyards. The texture of dye-sublimated lanyards is smooth and soft due to the dyeing technology. The polyester lanyards have medium softness, and they’re famous for their good quality and low price. Polyester lanyards are the first option for sports because of their high absorption. Nylon lanyards are the top-quality lanyards. They are thicker but have the lowest softness. If you have enough budget, we suggest that you choose nylon lanyards.

Question Three: Can the silkscreen printing process be applied to the dye-sublimated lanyards?

Silkscreen printing and dye-sublimation printing are two kinds of printing techniques. But the final results are the same: adding the graphics to the surface of the lanyards. Silkscreen printing means attaching the graphics with ink by using the silkscreen to the lanyards under strong pressure. Dye-sublimation printing uses a special film to penetrate the dyes into the lanyards at high temperatures.

Generally speaking, the awesome lanyards used by the dye-sublimated printing process are available for all kinds of graphics. But the silkscreen printing lanyards will be limited by color. If the order is small, we suggest you choose the silkscreen printing lanyards. Larger orders should choose dye-sublimated lanyards. It’s ok to make dye-sublimated lanyards and then add some information by using another silkscreen printing process. These two printing processes can be combined, but the production time will be longer, and the cost will be higher.

Question Four: What’s the maximum interval between two logos of lanyards?

Although we offer a full selection of customization options for your custom lanyards, certain standards need to be taken into consideration when ordering lanyards. One of them is the interval between two logos printed on the lanyards.

Technically, the interval between the two logos has no limit. It depends on the maximum range the machine allows.

As for the standards and specifications for typesetting, it is completely dependent on personal aesthetics.

However, the interval between logos needs to have a degree. The longer the distance between two logos, the larger the space will be, and it will unavoidably destroy the overall sense of the lanyards. The logos cannot be seen clearly if placed too close. We suggest you take a look at GS-JJ.com. There are lots of good lanyards for reference. Don’t worry about it. We have what suits you the best.

Question Five: What is the minimum size of the fonts on the lanyards?

Normally, the surface of customized lanyards often includes the name and logo of companies. These are the basic contents for printing.

As for the size of fonts, there is no specific size, but some standards do exist.

First, we have to confirm the length and width of the lanyards you want to make. Then, you will decide how many spaces should be used for printing your graphics within a certain length and width. Finding a suitable size for the font. If the text is longer, you can use two lines to print the text. If the text is shorter, you can use a large size of the font to print it. Don’t worry about the typographic design of the text. Professional people can give you the best solutions.
