Student Pride 2009

18th March 2009

Lanyard Factory in Brighton for National Student Pride!

 

Our specially customised wristbands were proudly displayed by thousands at the event of the year!

 

Leaving it to the last minute… express printed lanyards

 

When requests for “miracles” kept on flooding in, i.e. to have customised lanyards in impossible time frames, we decided to tackle these tough deadlines head on! Finally after much experimenting and trials, we finally found a way to produce good quality printed lanyards fast.

Thank YOU for placing trust in us to deliver in such tight deadlines and not compromising in quality.
Thank YOU for pushing us to improve upon our service!

Having said that, please try NOT to leave lanyards printing to the last minute as our Express Lanyard Printing Service has its limitations, such as fixed strap colours, 1 sided printing and simpler logos.

More importantly, the tighter the deadlines, the faster our hearts beat!

What is a Lanyard?

28th July 2008

“Lanyard” is derived from the French word lanière in the 14th century, meaning “strap”.

When we first started Lanyard Factory, everyone we met was saying, “What factory again?”

For the uninitiated, a lanyard is indeed the string you hang around the neck at conferences, in offices, at hospitals, in schools, at festivals and even parties. However, as with most essentials in life, the lanyard has often gone unnoticed.

Dress up Mondays

15th July 2008

Staying in touch with our corporate roots.

The Lanyard Factory is proud to be in Hoxton – flip flops, outrageous t-shirts, the very occasional picnic lunch at WIFI-ed Hoxton Square, the pleasure of witnessing the random artist furiously sketching away in one of our local cafes – in short, we believe through some sort of diffusion, us being in Hoxton makes US trendy/creative.

From Bottle to Lanyard

12th June 2008

Going Green seems to be all the buzz now and although we try not to follow fads blindly, we unashamedly announce that Lanyard Factory is going green too!

Why?

Just check out the facts from Waste Online below:

  • In UK alone, 3 million tonnes of plastic waste is being generated every year. Out of that, an equivalent of 25.2 BILLION 2-litres bottles are being thrown away by folks like us!
