Custom Lanyards Are a Great Way to Show Support for Your Local Team

January 31st, 2012

Custom lanyards are functional and attractive.  They are a great way to show support for your local sports team and they can even have a badge holder attachment connected to them for student IDs and other forms of identification.  This is one way to keep track of attendance at games and tournaments where students are admitted for free.

There are a number of different ways to make lanyards stand out.  First of all, you can use the colors of your favorite team.  This helps others recognize which school or university you are rooting for.  Next, you can add a logo or a slogan and pass them out at pep rallies and games as a way of gaining the public’s support.

Custom lanyards are easy to transport and you can pin trading pins to them and use them to meet and greet other players or spectators.  This is a great way to break the ice and get others to take notice of your team and talent.  Because they are custom made, they will get attention wherever they go.

There are a number of different styles of lanyards and attachments available.  You can choose the one that appeals the most to you. For example, here is what we have to offer in regards to attachments:

  • Lobster Claw
  • Bulldog Clip
  • J-Hook
  • Split Key Ring
  • Cell Phone Loop

Order your custom lanyards today.  Visit http://www.lapelpinsrus.com/lanyards.html/.  You can also email info@lapelpinsrus.com or call 1-800-480-6822 toll-free.  Whatever style of lanyard you choose to go with, know that you’re getting the best when you order from Lapel Pins R Us.  In addition to a free digital proof and full color digital proof, we also offer free UPS Red Label shipping to the US.

Custom Lanyards Help Welcome in a New School Year

August 8th, 2011

With the new school year fast approaching, administrators around the country are getting prepared to tackle student needs. At campuses small and large, custom lanyards are making their debut. Used for identification purposes, these lightweight accessories often come with a badge holder attachment which helps the pupil store and display their personal identification.

From driver’s licenses to student IDs, custom lanyards remain popular with people of all ages because they are easy-to-wear, colorful, and imprinted with some sort of image and text. Instead of having to carry these items in a pocket or a purse, the student can place the lanyard over his or her head and be ready to walk out the front door in the morning. This eliminates any confusion administration might have as to which individuals belong in the school at any given time.

This creates a safe environment for students and faculty members. Being able to identify one another based on a lanyard and clear pocketed badge holder attachment makes all of the difference. Having these items in plain view makes it easier to maintain a visual record of what is going on at the school at any given time. One flash of an ID can really make a difference in how things operate during the school year.

Custom lanyards can be created in different colors to help differentiate students, faculty, and volunteers. By simply stating that they would like to use the same design but create two or three different colors of lanyards, schools are able to take advantage of savings. They receive discounts whenever they order certain amounts of lanyards for their students and staff.

School mascots and other types of logos make great images to include in your school’s unique custom lanyard design. You can also dictate what size and type of font that is incorporated into the design. Once these items are perfect and look the way that you specified, we begin the manufacturing process. This allows us to get your school’s lanyards to you as fast as we can.
