Dye Sublimation Lanyards
Our dye sublimation lanyards are one of the most popular choices for custom promotional products. Using advanced heat transfer printing technology, your design is permanently embedded into the polyester fabric, ensuring bright colors, sharp details, and no fading over time.
Unlike standard printing methods, dye sublimation supports full-color, high-resolution artwork with no limit on the number of colors, making it ideal for detailed logos, gradients, and photographic designs. Widely used for corporate events, trade shows, festivals, schools, and staff identification.

Screen Printed Lanyards
Custom screen printed lanyards are one of the most economical and widely used promotional products for businesses, schools, trade shows, conferences, and corporate events. Using high-quality silk screen printing, your logo or message is printed directly onto durable polyester webbing, creating bold, vibrant colors with excellent durability.
Screen printing is the ideal choice for simple logos, text, and solid-color designs, offering outstanding color consistency at a highly cost-effective price for large-volume orders. At TQ Lanyards, every step from artwork approval to production is carefully managed to ensure reliable quality and on-time delivery.

Woven Lanyards
Custom woven lanyards offer a premium and durable solution for organizations looking to showcase their brand with a professional finish. Unlike printed lanyards, the logo or text is woven directly into the polyester webbing using colored threads, resulting in a clean, textured appearance with exceptional durability.
Woven lanyards are best suited for simple logos, text, and graphic designs with limited colors. Because the design becomes part of the fabric itself, it will not crack, peel, or fade over time, making it ideal for employee ID lanyards, schools, government organizations, and healthcare facilities.
| Material | Polyester Webbing |
| Logo Method | Woven Logo / Custom Text / Simple Graphic Designs |

Crossbody Lanyards
Our multifunctional rope lanyard is designed for modern daily use, combining style and practicality. It can be worn as a crossbody phone strap, a neck lanyard, or a key holder, making it a versatile accessory for everyday life.
Made from durable rope material with strong attachments, it provides comfort and security while carrying your essentials. The adjustable length design suits different wearing styles, and it’s widely used for daily phone carrying, key holders, travel accessories, streetwear brands, and promotional giveaways.
