Custom Lanyards, Badge Holders and Event Wristbands

Every conference, school and workplace with an ID badge needs a lanyard, and the lanyard is the one thing in the room that shows a logo on every chest. RELYmedia prints more than 7,000 lanyard and badge products: polyester lanyards with a one-color print, dye-sublimated lanyards with full-color artwork, woven lanyards, nylon and tubular lanyards, breakaway safety lanyards, badge holders in vinyl, plastic and leather, retractable badge reels, Tyvek and silicone event wristbands, and preprinted blank stock for fast shipping.

Custom Lanyards Buying Guide

Lanyard Materials and Widths

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 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 cheaper. 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. Custom made lanyards are produced to order in the material, width and print you choose.

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 cheap, 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. 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. Magnetic and pin backs hold a name badge on a shirt without a lanyard.

Wristbands for Events

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

How much do custom lanyards cost?

Printed polyester lanyards start under $1 each in bulk and most styles land between $0.75 and $2 each depending on width, print and quantity. Woven and sublimated lanyards cost a little more. Request a quote with your quantity for an exact price.

What is a breakaway lanyard?

A breakaway lanyard has a clip at the back of the neck that pulls apart when the lanyard is caught or tugged. It is the safe choice for hospitals, schools, factories and anywhere a lanyard could get pulled.

Can I print full color on a lanyard?

Yes. Dye-sublimated lanyards print full-color artwork through the fabric on both sides, so multiple logos, gradients and sponsor marks reproduce clearly.

How wide should my lanyard be?

Three-quarter inch is the most popular width and fits most logos. Half inch is lighter and cheaper, and one inch gives the most print room for sponsor logos at large events.

Do you sell badge holders and wristbands too?

Yes. Vinyl, rigid plastic and leather badge holders, retractable badge reels, and Tyvek, vinyl and silicone wristbands are all available and can be ordered with the lanyards.

Can I design my own lanyard?

Yes. Choose the material, the width, the print and the attachment, and send your logo. Our graphic designers can help with the artwork.
