Choosing Event Lanyards: Flat vs Tubular Styles
When organizing a major convention or outfitting a massive corporate office, lanyards are a mandatory purchase. They hold essential ID badges and provide constant brand exposure. However, ordering the wrong style can result in a warped, unreadable logo. The two main styles available are Flat Lanyards and Tubular Lanyards.
The Clarity of Flat Lanyards
Flat lanyards are exactly what they sound like. They are woven flat like a ribbon.
- The Canvas: This flat surface provides a much wider, smoother print area for your corporate branding.
- The Benefit: It allows for highly detailed logos, crisp text, and multiple sponsor names to be printed clearly without any visual distortion.
The Economy of Tubular Lanyards
Tubular lanyards are woven in a tube shape, feeling very much like a standard shoelace.
- The Cost: Because of the simple manufacturing process, they are significantly cheaper for massive crowds and large-scale festivals.
- The Drawback: The rounded, tubular shape means that wide or complex logos will wrap around the edges, making them difficult to read from a distance.
The Raven32 Recommendation
You must match the lanyard to the complexity of your logo. As printing and promotional experts, we strongly advise that if you have a detailed corporate logo, you must choose flat lanyards. Tubular lanyards will warp complex designs and make your brand look unprofessional. Contact us today to design the perfect credentials for your next event.
