Nylon with screen print: Spot colors only, thicker ink layer, limited to 4-6 colors, less comfortable on skin. For event badges with complex logos and gradients, polyester + thermal transfer is superior. For simple 1-2 color text, nylon screen print may be lower cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHard Plastic ID Card vs. Paper Badge\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHard plastic: Durable, reusable, waterproof, professional appearance, supports full-color printing.

Requirements: breakaway clips for safety, PMS color matching for brand colors, and QR code printing on badges. They chose 1.5cm polyester lanyards with thermal transfer printing and metal hooks. Breakaway clips were added. The hard plastic badges were printed on both sides. Sample approved in 6 days. Production took 10 days. Each set was OPP bagged. The breakaway clips passed the 10N pull test. The conference ran smoothly with easy attendee identification.

Production lead time: 12 days for 1000 sets. The badges were shipped via sea freight to the venue. The trade show reported efficient check-in.

A 20ft container (28 CBM) holds approximately 37,000 sets theoretically. With master cartons of 200 sets each (carton approx 40x30x25cm = 0.03 CBM), about 930 cartons = 186,000 sets. For 500 sets, sea freight LCL from 2 CBM is cost-effective.

The breakaway clip must release at 10N ±2N (approximately 1kg). For orders above 500 sets, we provide a video of the test. The clip is made of acetal plastic, designed for repeated use. It re-engages after release. This meets workplace safety standards for lanyards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbutton data-open-header-quote=\"\" type=\"button\" class=\"header-cta-btn header-cta-btn--quote\"\u003eGet a Quote\u003c\/button\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; padding: 9px; background: #E9E4E0; color: #2c2c2c;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background: rgba(112, 74, 76, 0.89); color: white;\"\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAttribute\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eNotes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLanyard material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolyester\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSoft, durable, washable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eID card material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHard plastic (PVC)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard credit card size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLanyard width\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.0 \/ 1.2 \/ 1.5 \/ 2.0 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCustom width available\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLanyard length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e90 cm (standard)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCustom length accepted\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrint method\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThermal transfer (sublimation)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull color CMYK\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eColor matching\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePMS (Pantone) customized\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand colors\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAccessories\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e11+ options: breakaway, metal hook, plastic buckle, carabiner, lobster claw, safety buckle, etc.\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSelectable\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBreakaway pull test\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e10N minimum\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSingle package size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e15 x 10 x 5 cm\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSingle gross weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e0.035 kg (35g) per set\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePlace of origin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eGuangdong, China\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"SupplyBatch","offers":[{"title":"as customer request \/ 2cm*90cm or as your request","offer_id":48441591398557,"sku":"106072651097","price":0.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0761\/1354\/3325\/files\/H6235489848544d7484ad00c43dbe7d3bU.webp?v=1781501991","url":"https:\/\/www.supplybatch.com\/products\/custom-lanyard-hard-plastic-id-card-set-pms-color-breakaway-clip-thermal-transfer-for-events","provider":"SupplyBatch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
