Here is some further interesting information on our products including printed lanyards and printed ribbon; Printed lanyards Most people have no idea what a lanyard is. A lanyard’s history goes back to the old shipping days. It was a piece of string worn around one’s neck and used to secure objects – usually a whistle or to the hook attached to a cannon. Pistol lanyards were attached from a sailors pistol to one’s holster. Wikepedia has lots more interested information on the history of lanyards. In the modern context lanyards are used to attach to one’s keys, phones, USB flash drives, MPR3 players or ID cards. The marketers in this world like Bigeye Branding have seen the opportunity to create branded lanyards or printed lanyards as these lanyards become a marketing tool for promoting one’s brand. Just think, a printed lanyard is carried with the customer wherever they go. Schools in South Africa in particular have a huge requirement for lanyards, these lanyards are used for carrying one’s keys, phones, Apple iPods or ID passes. Bigeye Branding supplies a lot of printed lanyards to events in South Africa, as the printed lanyards are branded and attached to an ID card for identification and security at an event. There are many different printed lanyard options including screen printing or digital printing onto the lanyard. Screen printed lanyards are usually one, two or three colour printed lanyards. Digital printed lanyards are usually full colour printed lanyards. PRINTED RIBBON As Bigeye Branding manufactures printed lanyards, a natural extension was into printed ribbons. Bigeye Branding printed ribbons include printed poly-satin ribbon, printed florist ribbon and printed organza ribbon. This printed ribbon is usually used in the gifting and packaging market and a customer’s brand or logo is printed onto the ribbon. The printed ribbon is usually wrapped around corporate gifts or product packaging. Here are some interesting links to help you find out more about our products.
