Transfer Printed Lanyards – High Precision Custom Printing
Welcome to the category of transfer printed lanyards. This technology is the perfect choice if your logo contains small details, multiple colors, or requires high opacity on a dark background. Unlike sublimation, which is impalpable, transfer printing creates a fine, slightly raised layer on the strap surface, giving it a very luxurious and professional look. Check out our range of sublimated lanyards for comparison.
Transfer printing on lanyards works on the principle of indirect printing. The design is first printed in reverse onto special transfer paper and then fixed onto the polyester tape using a heat press. This allows us to achieve extreme edge sharpness and color saturation that direct screen printing often cannot provide for complex designs. This method is ideal for logos with multiple non-overlapping colors or for thin lines and text.

When to Choose Transfer Printing for Promotional Lanyards?
Transfer printing is the right choice if you need to place a logo on the lanyard that must be 100% opaque and bold, even on a black or dark blue strap. While sublimation dyes the fiber (great for white backgrounds), transfer "sits" on the surface. It is the ideal solution for corporate identity that requires precise color matching and sharp contours, but you do not want to use full-surface full-color printing.
This technology also allows printing on various types of materials and strap structures, including those with a coarser weave where direct printing might "bleed". It is a compromise between the durability of screen printing and the detail of digital technologies.
Durability and Features of Transfer Lanyards
Transfer printing is very durable and flexible. Thanks to fixation at high temperature and pressure, it bonds with the strap material and withstands normal use without cracking. Straps with transfer prints are comfortable to wear, and the print is smooth to the touch. We recommend them for conferences, trade fairs, and as functional ID card holders for employees. If you are looking for accessories, don't forget our card and business card holders.
Configuration Options and Carabiners
We offer transfer lanyards in standard widths (10, 15, 20, 25 mm). You can choose from a wide range of carabiners – from classic metal ones to designer oval ones, and plastic variants. A very popular add-on is the safety breakaway behind the neck, which disconnects when pulled, or a plastic buckle for detaching the bottom part with keys or a card.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Transfer Lanyards:
What is the difference between transfer and sublimation on lanyards?
Transfer is a surface print (you can feel a layer of ink), which has high opacity and is ideal for logos on colored straps. Sublimation dyes the fiber of a white strap, is impalpable, and allows for full-surface full-color printing including photos.
Is transfer printing durable?
Yes, transfer is very durable and flexible. Thanks to heat fixation, it holds well on polyester and does not peel even with frequent use. However, we recommend gentle handling.
Can I print multi-colored logos with transfer?
Yes, transfer allows printing multi-colored designs with high registration precision. It is more suitable for detailed logos than direct screen printing.
What is the minimum order?
The minimum order for custom production of transfer lanyards is usually 100 pieces. Smaller quantities are economically inefficient due to production preparation (templates, press setup).
What artwork files do you need?
Ideal are vector data (curves) in .ai, .eps, or .pdf format. If you don't have them, our graphic designer will help you prepare them as part of our free service.
