Need multi color imprints design? Dye sublimated lanyards are for you! Dye sublimation technology uses heat sensitive paper to transfer print onto the lanyards that can carry fine lines, intricate logos and multiple colors on the fabric. Another advantage of dye sublimation over hot stamping and screen printing is that the imprint does not sit on the surface of the material, but gets transferred into the material. So it is less likely to become scraped and worn.
The starting lanyard material for dye sublimation is always white polyester. The "ground" or base lanyard color as well as the imprint are applied during the transfer "sublimation" process. It should be considered for anyone who requires more than one imprint color on both sides. The choice of fabric colors is virtually unlimited, and it is the best choice for photo quality and no-edge printing. Also it's not that expensive as you may think it to be, it can be the most economical method for multi-color imprints on large quantities.
Our dye sublimated lanyards are available in 5/8", 3/4", and 1" widths at our standard 36" length. Due to the set-up requirements dye sublimated lanyards tend to have higher minimum purchase quantities than the other imprint methods, typically around 100 pcs. And we can not supply rush service, which usually needs 7-10 days for production.
