Polyester Lanyards

Polyester lanyards are probably the most common lanyard you can find. This material is a favourite among both manufacturers and buyers because it is cheap and is very easy to work with.

Polyester has been around for more than sixty years. It was first patented in 1941 under the name terylene. This magic material was invented by a British chemist by the name of John Rex Whinfield and James Tennant Dickson. These two were able to expand on the research of Wallace Carothers an American scientist who is credited with inventing nylon. John Dickson and James Tennant were working for the British company British Callico Printers. This company then sold the research and patent to the American company DuPont. This acquisition occurred in 1945. After DuPont purchased the rights they expanded their efforts into development of this revolutionary fabric.

Polyester is a resilient fabric. It does not wrinkle or crease. It is easy to care for and can be washed and dried by machine. One of the reasons that many companies buy lanyards is so that they can use them as a promotional item. Polyester lanyards are perfect for this application. They can be completely customized by the client. If the client desires to have an extremely detailed image printed onto their lanyard then the polyester material will make a great choice. If they would prefer that their lanyard be only one color and that the lanyard be dyed using the more traditional method of silk screening then polyester will be more than adequate.

A polyester lanyard is small and easy to store. Due to the fact that you do not have to worry about the material becoming crumpled or creased you do not have to worry about literally stuffing the lanyards into a very small space. You will also not have to worry about the temperature where the lanyard is stored. Neither the heat not the cold will affect the lanyard in any way.

One of the other great things about lanyards is the fact they are light and do not cost a lot when it comes to shipping. You can purchase hundreds of lanyards and the cost to send them half way around the world will still is minimal. Compare this to the price of shipping another heavier promotional item like a coffee cups. You will also not have to worry about the lanyards becoming damaged in any way during shipping. They are not fragile and even the roughest handling will not damage them.

Polyester lanyards are inexpensive. Even if you want to customize the lanyard and have both your company name and logo put on the lanyard they will still cost very little per unit. You can even decide to upgrade your choice of attachment and the increase will hardly be noticed. As a business you want to get the most from every dollar that you spend. If a promotional item is what you are looking for then a custom polyester lanyards are perfect.
