Polyester, Sublimated or Woven

Flat polyester is the standard lanyard and prints a one or two color logo on one or both sides. Dye-sublimated lanyards print full color through the fabric, so gradients, photos and multiple sponsor logos come out sharp. Woven lanyards stitch the logo into the fabric for a premium feel that does not wear off. Nylon and tubular lanyards are softer and lower priced, and recycled cotton and corn-fiber lanyards cover sustainability programs. Widths run from half an inch to one inch, and the three-quarter inch width is the most popular because it gives room for a logo without feeling heavy.

Clips and Attachments

The attachment decides what the lanyard can carry. A swivel J-hook or bulldog clip holds a badge. A split ring carries keys. A carabiner holds a water bottle or a phone case. Detachable buckles let the badge come off without removing the lanyard. A breakaway clip at the back of the neck pulls apart under force and is required in hospitals, schools and factories.

Badge Holders and Reels

Clear vinyl holders are the low-cost, flexible standard. Rigid plastic holders protect a card for months of daily use. Leather and leatherette holders suit executive and sales staff. Custom badges for lanyards start with the holder: pick a vinyl, rigid plastic or leather holder, then match the lanyard clip to it. More badge clips and holders are in our clips and holders section, and printed name badges are on our custom name badges page. Retractable badge reels keep the card at the belt and pull out to the reader, and they take a printed or domed logo on the face.

Lanyards for Events

For a conference or a festival, the lanyard and the badge are ordered together so the colors match and the clip fits the holder. A sublimated lanyard carries the event name on one side and the sponsor logos on the other. Breakaway clips are the safe choice for crowds. Blank stock lanyards in solid colors cover a last-minute event, and printed Tyvek wristbands handle entry control at the gate. For the rest of the booth, see our trade show displays.

Wristbands for Events

Tyvek wristbands are the disposable paper band for festivals, pools and one-day events, printed with the event name and supplied in sequential numbers. Vinyl and plastic bands last several days. Silicone wristbands are the reusable, debossed or printed band for fundraisers and cause campaigns, and sublimated elastic wristbands with a card suit VIP access.

Bulk Pricing

Lanyards are priced by quantity tier, and bulk custom lanyards cost far less per piece at the top tier than a small run. Bulk pricing starts at $0.23 per lanyard at the largest tier, and most printed polyester lanyards land under $2 each depending on width, print and attachment. Woven and sublimated lanyards cost a little more, and badge reels and leather holders sit above that. Quote-only items show a form instead of a price; send the quantity and we will price them.

Decoration

Silkscreen printing puts one or two spot colors on polyester and nylon. Dye sublimation prints full color edge to edge on both sides. Woven lanyards are jacquard-stitched in up to a few thread colors. Badge reels take a printed or domed logo, and wristbands print one color or full color. Send a vector logo and we will send a free proof before production.
