LANYARDS CAN BE A WORKPLACE FASHION STATEMENT

Lanyards are often a basic workplace requirement. Organizations require employees to wear them to hold I.D badges in clear view. But modern materials, colors and the ability to customize means lanyards can be an accepted part of contemporary fashion as well.

Obviously, no one expects custom lanyards to become a favorite of the New York and Paris fashion runway set. But the ability to customize a lanyard's message or logo, custom colors and the variety of materials available mean lanyards need not be a fashion faux pas.

Make a statement with lanyard colors. If you work in a formal atmosphere such as a law office, you can't go wrong with basic black. A black custom lanyard with white lettering adds a touch of elegance. If your workplace is more casual, consider other colors either for the lanyard itself, the lettering, or both. If you're adventurous and work in a place that allows creativity, go with something bright - purple, maybe, or fluorescent green. A bright custom lanyard is a real attention-grabber. It all depends on your purpose. For example, if you're retailing to young adults, bright colors are a perfect way to go.

Your selected lanyard material also affects the fashion equation. Woven polyester lanyards, for example, feature text and designs woven into the lanyard with thread. This gives the lanyard and the message a classic look similar to embroidery. Yet because intricate designs aren't legible on the woven material, it also requires a relatively simple message.

Flat polyester lanyards are the most popular lanyard type. These are available in many colors and the silk screen printing process will reproduce crisp, clear detail for logos and text.

Nylon lanyards are the highest quality lanyards available. They feature the highest brilliance and smoothest finish, for the clearest silk screen printed details with even the most intricate designs.

For those who want to blend in - or stand out - camouflage-pattern custom lanyards the way to go. In standard desert or green, camo lanyards blend in. In other colors, such as hot pink, the camo pattern offers an unexpected visual "pop". Once again, it all depends on the message you want to convey.

Granted, you probably won't see custom lanyards on a fashion runway or a designer reality show. But with a little forethought, custom lanyards can add a dash of fashion to the workplace.
