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 your 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 numbers of color have no limit for dye-sublimated lanyards. All dye-sublimated lanyards are applied to the advanced dye-sublimated printing process, which means it is dyed with different inks. The dye-sublimated printing process is finished by two steps; the first step is to print your design paper using the inks, and the second step is to use the strong pressure and high temperature to print graphics to the surface of lanyards from the ink printed paper. These links 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 included full color photographic and gradient.
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 it’s famous for its good quality and cheap price. Polyester lanyards are the first option for sports because of its high absorption. Nylon lanyards are the top-quality lanyards. It is thicker but has the lowest softness. If you have enough budget, we suggest that you can choose nylon lanyards.
Question Three: Can the silkscreen printing process be applied to the dye-sublimated lanyards?
Silkscreen printing and dye-sublimated printing are two kinds of printing techniques. But the final results are the same: adding the graphics on the surface of the lanyards. Silkscreen means attaching the graphics with ink by using the silkscreen print to the lanyards. Dye-sublimated printing uses a special film to penetrate the dyes to the lanyards along with 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 logo color is quite simple, like 1 or 2 colors logo, we suggest you choose the silkscreen printing lanyards. If the logo color is more complicated, we suggest choosing dye-sublimated lanyards. Also, for the huge QTY order, we suggest dye-sublimated lanyards as well for its quicker delivery date. It’s ok to make dye-sublimated lanyards and then add some information by using another silkscreen printing process. These two printing processes can combine, but the production time will be longer and the cost will be higher. Unless you want to emphasize some logo specially after dye-sublimated the main background color already, the general dye-sublimated lanyard could satisfy you enough and present the goods nicely.
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 take into consideration when order lanyards. One of them is the interval of two logos printed on the lanyards.
Technically, the interval between the two logos has no limit. It depends on the maximum range of the machine allows. As for the standards and specifications for typesetting, it is completely dependent on personal aesthetics.
