Categorie Op maat bedrukte keycords

The complaint about keycords is almost never about the print. It is about the edge — a flat woven strap has two of them, and after eight hours they are the thing the wearer notices. Tubular keycords veiligheidssluitingove the edge entirely.

The construction

Instead of weaving a flat band and stitching its sides, the loom weaves a closed tube. The fabric is doubled and hollow, exactly like a shoelace, with a soft round profile and no seam. Nothing on it can catch, fray or cut in.

Where it belongs

Volunteers and crew — long shifts, high quantities, comfort decides.
Schools and universities — worn all day by people who did not choose to wear it.
Grote evenementen — the cost per head at 5 000 pieces is what makes the budget work.
Anywhere colour codes the crowd — the tube takes strong colour well, so tiers read at a glance.

What to expect from the print

Bold and simple. High-contrast single-colour text on a saturated tube is what this construction reproduces cleanly and what it is designed for. If the artwork has fine detail or more than two colours, a flat sublimated lanyard is the right answer instead.

Which lanyard construction

Bedrukte keycords, polyester en nylon	Screen print or sublimation on a flat woven strap. The default: cheapest per piece, unlimited artwork, and the widest choice of widths.
Jacquard geweven	The logo is woven into the webbing with dyed thread. Costs more, lasts years, and cannot peel because there is no ink.
Tubular	Woven as a hollow tube with no sewn edges. The softest and usually the cheapest; print is bold and simple.
Ronde koordkoorden	A rope rather than a strap, printed directly along its length. Minimal and modern; artwork has to be short.
Keycords van natuurlijke materialen	Unbleached cotton with a matte, textured finish. The material carries the sustainability message before the print does.

Veelgestelde vragen

Why are tubular keycords more comfortable?

Edges. A flat woven lanyard is cut and stitched, and those edges are what saws at the side of the neck over a long day. A tubular lanyard is woven as a closed tube, so there is no edge anywhere on it — the same reason a shoelace does not irritate.

What kind of printing works on them?

Bold screen print in one or two colours. The surface is soft and slightly textured, and the tube is round rather than flat, so fine detail and photographic artwork do not reproduce well. Short text and a simple logo in high contrast is what this construction does properly.

Are they durable enough for staff use?

For a season, yes. They are softer and looser than flat woven straps, which is what makes them comfortable, and it also means they stretch and fluff with heavy daily use. For permanent staff ID, a jacquard woven lanyard will hold its appearance considerably longer.

Why are they cheaper?

Less material and a simpler process — no cutting, no edge stitching, no separate finishing step. That is why they are the standard choice for volunteer teams, school events and anything ordered in the thousands where cost per head decides the specification.
