     Nylon and polyester are both commonly used materials for the webbing part of lanyard products. How to distinguish between the two?

     Nylon - Nylon (polyamide fiber), with high strength, high abrasion resistance, high chemical resistance and good resistance to deformation, anti-aging, the gloss of the fabric is brighter, and the hand feel is smoother.

     Polyester - polyester fiber, which is characterized by good air permeability and moisture removal, as well as strong acid and alkali resistance and UV resistance. Usually nylon used in lanyard products has high purity, due to its delicate and smooth surface characteristics, which is very suitable for silk-screen LOGO processing on the surface; some are mixed with other types of yarns, such as polyester.

     Due to the common use of nylon and the convenience of customizing decimals, there are many commonly used color ready-made materials on the market. Such materials are not limited to order, and can meet the needs of different customers.
