For starters, a Woven lanyard is made in the same way say, a sweater or any embroidered t-shirt or top is made. Coloured threads are used to weave the material and at the same time, form a design. The individual threads come together to form the product and the design. They are similar to feel as a garment of clothing and can even go in the washing machine!

Naturally, since the process involves weaving and not printing, the designs and colours it can support are very basic. In most cases, companies prefer to just have the company name and department of the wearer woven into the lanyards. While they are limited in terms of design, they are extremely durable and the strongest type of lanyards on the market.

In the case of my company, we opted to have a Personalized woven lanyard. We are an Irish based pharmaceutical company and we decided to get our name printed on the lanyard, “Aerie Pharma Ireland Ltd”. We also opted to include the name of the department too, for example sales, or lab, or maintenance. It’s all text and there is no logo or corporate monogram.

The reason we chose Custom Woven Lanyards for the staff is because these lanyards are very comfortable to wear, and they can last up to a year or more. Custom woven lanyards are made from natural fibre and therefore do not cause skin irritation. Fast colour dyes are used for each of the threads, and this means the Custom woven lanyards can be washed and the colours won’t dissolve or become discoloured in the soapy water. Moreover, the brightness is maintained wash after wash which makes Custom woven lanyards very reliable and long lasting – ideal for our busy premises.

Our product delivery staff on the other hand, are issued what is called the Boeing carbon fiber woven lanyard. The carbon fiber material is an important component in modern airplanes such as the 787 Dreamliner, providing superior strength with less weight. In reality, the Boeing carbon fiber woven lanyard is not made from carbon fiber but is actually a fully polyester lanyard that looks like carbon fiber. On one side it is stamped with the Boeing logo in silicone and includes a detachable metal buckle, metal oval hook, and plastic safety breakaway feature.

In my company, we issue these to the delivery staff to identify them separately because the delivery staff along with the delivery vehicles, are not direct employees but are on contract. Anyway, the Boeing carbon fiber woven lanyards are also extremely durable and comfortable to wear. They can be supplied with all types of accessories and clips to hold ID badges, phones or keys.

The prices for custom woven lanyards are mid-range and the following charge is indicative of how much it will cost. My company buys them online at www.irelandlanyards.com as they have over 500 reviews on Trustpilot and the prices are very fair. As you can see – the larger the order the cheaper the overall price and we normally order 200 every 6 months or so. I have had my lanyard for over a year now – but some of the other staff loose theirs so we have to re-order regularly.
