ID Lanyards Or Embroidered Patches For Corporate Identity

Social clubs and other groups exist because like-minded members enjoy the same activities. The members share an identity that they are proud of. They may go places together or plan and execute projects. Pride in their identity and achievements gives the group solidarity. This solidarity is enhanced as they display their identity for all to see through the use of ID lanyards, embroidered patches, and iron on patches.

ID lanyards, which are strips of fabric with the name of the organization and a small logo woven in, serve a dual purpose. Their main purpose is to display the individual's ID card, but they also identify the individual's organization via the name and logo woven into the fabric. In addition, the lanyard can be woven in the organization's identifying colors. Wearing the ID card around the neck is much more convenient and makes the card more easily visible than clipping it to the belt or purse.

Groups like embroidered patches and iron on patches because they are a colorful way to share with the world their achievements and activities. These patches are often applied to club jackets and vests. There are many examples of groups that make extensive use of patches. Two that come immediately to mind are the Boy Scouts and the Girl Scouts. Every enthusiastic Scout proudly wears many, Custom Patches No Minimum many patches. Some of these patches are the official merit badges earned by the Scout and awarded by the Scouting organization. Other patches identify trips taken. Souvenir shops at all tourist attractions sell patches that can be purchased for a few dollars. However, the best patches of all are custom made to commemorate a group activity.

Another example would be a cycling club. Bicycling enthusiasts love to race and are proud of their achievements. They want each race to provide a colorful, uniquely designed patch to commemorate their involvement in the race. And, of course, the winners deserve the biggest, best patch of all.

The best patches have the design embroidered in bright, beautiful colors. If embroidery isn't feasible, the design can also be screen printed. They can be attached to the vest, jacket, or sash in two ways. They can be sewn on or ironed on. Mothers always prefer the iron on variety because of the ease of application. However, sewn on patches are more secure and less likely to fall off. A lost patch is a lost memory that can't be replaced.

Iron on patches are best ironed on to cotton material. Set the iron to the cotton setting. Then dampen a pressing cloth. A cloth napkin makes an excellent pressing cloth. Place the patch in the desired location on the vest or jacket. Place the damp pressing cloth over the patch. Press the hot iron down on the cloth over the patch. Don't move the iron back and forth; just press it in place for a few seconds. Allow the patch to cool, and test to see that all edges are tightly adhered. For the security of the patch, you may want to thread a needle double and tack the patch in a few places around the edge.

A group identity is important to its members. It promotes camaraderie within and lets the world see who they are. ID lanyards and embroidered patches and iron on patches provide an excellent identifier for these groups.
