Why are lanyards often twisted?
Lanyards often get twisted due to the way they are manufactured, stored, or used. Several factors contribute to this:
Manufacturing Process: When lanyards are produced, the material (often polyester or nylon) is wound onto spools in a continuous length. If not carefully managed during the winding and packaging process, the lanyard material can be wound in such a way that it has a tendency to twist.
Storage and Handling: After production, if lanyards are stacked, folded, or stored loosely, the natural weight of the fabric and friction can cause them to twist. This is especially true if the lanyards are not packaged in a way that keeps them flat and free of tangles.
Usage: When people wear or use lanyards, especially for carrying keys, ID cards, or event passes, the weight of these items can pull on the lanyard unevenly. This can cause the material to twist over time as it moves around the wearer’s neck or body.
Design or Material Choices: The way a lanyard is designed or the material chosen can also influence whether it twists. A round or smooth material, like certain synthetic fibers, is more prone to twisting than a flat, ribbon-like material, which is less likely to wind up on itself.
To minimize twisting, ilanyardMFG often suggest to use flat lanyard designs, and some lanyards include features like anti-twist mechanisms or special finishes that prevent the twisting effect. If you have any suggestion please kindly share with us!
