Hot stamping is the
most economical lanyard imprinting method. It’s also best suited for shorter
term lanyard applications. The reason for this is the amount of color laid down
on the material.
Color is transferred from a thin film using pressure and heat
applied by a metal plate which bears the imprint information and is held inside
an automatic press. The color applied
is just enough to cover the material. The material best suited for hot stamping
is polyester which feels and looks more like cotton than nylon due to its
texture and non-shiny appearance. Polyester is available in a variety of colors.
The most popular widths are 3/8” (shoelace) and 5/8” (budget). If your budget is
tight this is the lanyard imprinting method for you. You will almost allows find
these lanyards printed in a single color on one or both sides. With single sided
printing being the most common and cost effective.
