Who Needs Express Lanyards?
Lanyards are helpful across a range of multiple sectors and are a vital part of staff uniforms! They make your teams easily identifiable improving customer trust and addressing security concerns.
Express custom lanyards can be used in schools to improve student safety by making staff, students and visitors easily distinguishable. Schools, colleges and universities may need lanyards on a short notice at the start of terms or throughout the term for replacements.
Other sectors that might need custom lanyards quickly include NHS, the defence and military sector, security teams, or even utilities companies who need their teams to be identifiable to customers.
We also supply a lot of express lanyards to trade shows, corporate events and charity fundraisers where customised lanyards are usually needed on short notice to hand out for promotional purposes. In these situations, we work to your deadline to make sure the lanyards are ready in time for your event date.
Fast Turnaround with Heat Transfer Printing
Our express printing service uses a heat transfer process – it’s the secret to our success! Unlike traditional screen printing that requires lengthy setup and drying times, heat transfer printing allows us to get to work quickly as soon as your artwork is approved.
Heat transfer printing (sometimes called full-colour or dye sublimation) uses a combination of heat and pressure to digitally print your pattern with unmatched accuracy. It involves using heat to transform ink into a gas to impregnate plain white fabric, printing your design and your background colour simultaneously. The result is a seamless finish with vibrant colours. Because the dye is integrated with the fabric, there’s no risk of cracking like you’d see with traditional iron-on methods.
Heat transfer printing technology allows us to deliver clear, crisp results with high quality colour. Whereas other techniques can produce grainy results, our heat transfer press always creates a clear image, so you can be sure your logo looks spectacular.
We also print on both sides of our lanyards for maximum brand visibility!
Whether you need event branding, staff uniforms, or promotional freebies to hand out, we work hard to keep our quality high and our customers happy regardless of any timeline pressures.
Express Lanyard Delivery Options
We offer two express options to match your urgency requirements:
5-Day Express Service
Our 5-day express lanyard printing service offers quick delivery, ideal for events where you need quality lanyards without waiting. Production begins the day after artwork approval with guaranteed dispatch within 5 working days.
3-Day Rush Service
Our 3-day rush lanyard printing service handles urgent situations where every day counts! Select this premium option at checkout for priority production and dispatch within just 3 working days of approval.
Both services offer the exact same high-quality service you expect from us – we never compromise on materials or craftsmanship to meet faster deadlines.
Our Express Lanyard Artwork Approval Process
Following artwork submission, our in-house design team will review your artwork/logo to make sure that it is suitable for printing.
Whilst you can upload JPEG, PNG, or even GIF files to our online lanyard designer, for the best possible printing quality we require editable PDF, EPS or AI (Adobe Illustrator) files. If you don’t have these, we have an in-house art designer who will convert your logo to the correct format. We offer this service for free, though charges may apply if you decide not to go ahead with your order.
We begin production only once artwork is approved, so for the fastest possible service, please familiarise yourself with our FAQs and follow our guidelines closely. The less time we spend at the artwork approval stage, the quicker we can put your order into production.
