Are Plain Lanyards good quality Lanyards?

After a major breakthrough in cancer-related drug therapy, the firm I work for, which is an Ireland-based pharmaceutical company, decided to call for a peer review conference. We needed lanyards, but there simply was no time to have custom-printed lanyards delivered to us in time.

So, we decided on plain, simple, single-colour lanyards with nothing printed on them. Essentially, a Plain lanyard, is any non-printed polyester lanyard. These can be quickly cut, and metal clips attached and despatched to the customer; in this case, us.

As far as quality is concerned, the only difference between plain lanyards and custom lanyards is the printing. The material is the same. Therefore, it is safe to say that plain lanyards are as good as custom-printed lanyards and are much faster when up against a tight deadline.

Generally speaking, plain lanyards are made of polyester material. However, many lanyard suppliers out there will supply you with plain, non-printed lanyards made of nylon or woven material too. Of course, the prices will depend on the material you select. As there is no printing to be done, delivery will be extremely quick — usually under 36 hours. Naturally, plain lanyards cost much less than custom-printed lanyards.

There are a huge number of colours you could choose from. Plain black lanyard or plain red lanyard or plain blue lanyard and so forth. Just ask for the colours that are available and choose one or depending on your need, you could also choose a combination of colours. Generally speaking, as there is no printing to be done, the minimum order quantities also tend to be less than for custom-printed lanyards. In fact, we did not require so many lanyards for our conference, so this was another factor which made it easy to purchase the plain type.

So, plain black lanyards or plain lanyards in a variety of colours; the choice is yours to make. Rest assured that the quality of the material remains unaffected. There are various suppliers of plain good quality lanyards. My company buys them online from www.irelandlanyards.com the indicative prices are as follows:

One advantage of buying plain lanyards is that they can be reused. Whereas, depending on what is printed on it, custom-printed lanyards may or may not be reusable in the future. For example, custom-printed lanyards with event name and date mentioned, are probably not reusable. So, we were able to order plain lanyards in Ireland for this event — and then collect them and use them again whenever we need them.

So, if you are thinking about whether plain black lanyards or plain lanyards are made from good quality material then put your mind to rest. The strong polyester material means that the lanyards are very durable and can be worn for months. My personal recommendation would be to order darker colours — so that even if there is some dirt or stain on the lanyard, it will not show up much. See how plain lanyards can work for your organisation either for a one-off event or for day-to-day use.
