A couple months ago, we received an order at Lanyard Lab from Disney’s hit TV show Desperate Housewives on ABC for lanyards to be used in an upcoming episode. They were to be part of a “convention” on the show. I didn’t know to what extent we’d see the lanyards in the episode, assuming they would simply be worn casually throughout some of the scenes. Well, that episode (season 7, episode 19) aired tonight and I was pleasantly surprised to see our lanyards not only prominently featured, but also tightly integrated into the episode’s story line. The lanyards actually played a rather important role!

Below is a single frame from the episode where star Felicity Huffman is pulling her lanyard out of an envelope to put it on. Yep, we made that! (We didn’t make the badge with her character’s name on it, only the lanyard itself.) Throughout the episode, you’ll see plenty of red and black lanyards, all with the same text design that reads “Weisman LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE” which the fictional convention where Huffman and a few of the show’s other stars attended. Yep, we produced all of them.

Thanks to the show for the order!
