Choosing Event Badges: Woven vs Printed Lanyards
When hosting a VIP summit, a multi-day conference, or outfitting a large corporate headquarters, the lanyard is the most prominent piece of branding you will purchase. It rests directly on the chest of every attendee or employee. Selecting the right manufacturing style is critical. You must choose between the traditional prestige of Woven Lanyards and the graphic versatility of Printed Lanyards.
The Prestige of Woven Lanyards
Woven lanyards are created using classic textile manufacturing methods.
- The Process: Your corporate logo and text are physically stitched directly into the heavy polyester fabric using colored threads.
- The Benefit: They are incredibly thick, highly durable, and offer a very classic, permanent aesthetic that feels expensive to the touch.
The Detail of Printed Lanyards
Printed lanyards utilize modern screen printing or heat transfer technology.
- The Process: Smooth ink is silk-screened directly on top of a flat fabric strap.
- The Benefit: This method allows for significantly finer details, complex fonts, and highly intricate logos that thick weaving needles simply cannot replicate clearly.
The Raven32 Recommendation
Your choice depends on the image you want to project. As printing and promotional experts, we believe that if your logo allows for it, woven lanyards exude an elite, Olympic Village level of prestige that simple printed polyester just cannot match. They feel like a premium gift rather than a cheap entry pass. Contact our team today to design the perfect credentials for your organization.
