We have printed hair ribbons for cheerleaders also! ugh!
The best tip I can give is to imprint several at one time - as many as you can fit on the platten. Then how many images you can fit on the screen.
We printed one side at a time - depending on the repeated pattern of text/logos you maybe able to print both sides (left & right not front & back) at once. That would be the very best.
Do a "dry run" & literally lay the lanyards on the platten & lay the screen down - does anything keep the screen off contact too much?
Print a test - would you have missed any lanyards? Get some cheap ribbon & test out the plan.

Actually printing lanyards always seemed like a pain in the butt. We get them from ad specialty suppliers. You can get them printed,sublimated, or woven.

wow thanks so much for the link.
wish I could buy all the toys. Will have to be ingeniuous and come up with a plan.
Honestly, you might work out better by checking out a dedicated printer of promo materials. Kaeser-Blair does lanyards, among other things, often at a pretty cheap price.
Also, they sell mostly through resellers, which is mostly what you will find by googling it. Set yourself up as a reseller, make the profit off the customer, and make the profit off KB!
Thanks, I actually have used people to do it for me. The only gripe here is that they take 3 -4 weeks. I really want to keep my customers happy by being able to supply in the shortest time possible. This is the only reason why I want to do it myself. The other thing is that there is always a large minimum order! Some of my guys only want 50 units. I really appreciate all the feedback though, its been amazing. I am going to carry on plugging away at this. In the meantime I will give them the option of having a few that I can sublimate myself.
Hello
Could you advice what type of ink you use for direct screen printing on lanyards. we especially have problem for printing bright colours on dark lanyards.
Thank you.
