What are dye sublimation lanyards?

Dye sublimation lanyards are the latest way to personalise a workplace uniform. The lanyards are personalised using a dye sublimation process that takes place during manufacturing.

This vaporisation means that the material of the lanyard string remains the same, but it is now coloured with waterproof ink.

Companies can use dye sublimation to create lanyards that are completely unique to them. Through sublimation, manufacturers can replicate picture-perfect logos onto the lanyard. You may have seen this being used already by the NHS, which uses dye sublimation to print their logo onto employee lanyards. Most systems of dye sublimation use a CMYK process to ensure exact colour matching so that logos remain unaltered and recognisable.

Why are dye sublimation lanyards so popular?

Dye sublimation is a great method for printing complicated or intricate images. The ink dyes the fabric, which means that logos will not fade or rub off with use. This makes the lanyards a popular option for workplaces that want a sleek, professional-looking logo printed onto the lanyard. Dye sublimation also offers the ability to print unlimited colours onto the string and colours are matched to the original image that is required for printing. This excellent colour match means that all logos and colour palettes can stay on brand, which is an important part of a professional-looking uniform.

In dye sublimation, ink is vaporised onto the lanyard string, which means that the material of the lanyard maintains the same. Comfort is a huge consideration to take into account when choosing work accessories, and dye sublimation means that the silky, soft texture of the lanyards remains the same, even after printing. This makes dye sublimation lanyards comfortable and easy to wear.

Dye sublimation lanyards are mainly used to identify staff members and to create a sense of community in the workplace. Having your logo printed onto employee lanyards will help them to feel part of the workplace team and will make them easy to identify when out in the wider community. This sense of belonging will ultimately help to improve workplace morale, teamwork and communication which are all essential parts of running a successful workplace.
