Printed lanyards are the ever popular way of wearing a pass or id badge. Used in the office as well as at events, lanyards are durable and cost effective. They are also ideal to convey a message or advertise a particular event and can be adapted so that mobile phones, keys and even whistles can be attached to the end.
Security Solutions UK Ltd are the UK's leading manufacturer and supplier of printed lanyards. Cusomers choose from two different printing methods, silk screen printing or via the dye sublimation printing method.
Silk screen printing is when the text and image is surface printed onto the lanyard (as per the above image) using a silk screen. This printing method gives excellent replication and along with the lanyard can be pantone matched to existing artwork or designed to any requirement. A wide range of attachments are available as well and can be viewd at http://www.securitysolutionsuk.com/screen-attachments.html .
Dye sublimation or heat transfer printed lanyards are the most durable style/type of printed lanyards available. The printing process involves the ink being bled onto a white lanyard and like the screen prining process can be matched to any pantone colour. Put quite simply this is the Rolls Royce of lanyards, as per the image below.

Silicone wristbands continue to be as popular as last year, with companies and smaller organisations ordering the bands to promote their brand, cause or raise money for charity. Our wristbands are made from 100% silicone which makes them virtually allergy proof as well as comfortable to wear.
Jo Willoughby Sales Director comments "the phenominal sales growth seen over the last 2 years, when the bands were first introduced, continues to outpace growth on any other identification product we manufacture and supply. With the differing styles and sizes available silicone wristbands are truly a bespoke product, something which appeals to corporate clients as well as smaller organisations. The manufacturing process has the molten dyed silicone being poured into different sized and shaped moulds which allows the colour and effect to be adjusted and made to the clients specification.
Security Solutions UK Ltd has now supplied well in excess of 20 million silicone wristbands this coupled with our client feedback makes us the first choice for silicone wristbands."
