Why Choose Custom Printed Lanyards

Branding On Every Person

Branding On Every Person

A lanyard puts your name at chest height on every member of staff, all day, every day.

Breakaway fittings release under pressure, which matters wherever lanyards are worn daily.

Dye Sublimation VS Screen Printing

Colour & Artwork

Colour & Artwork

  • Dye Sublimation: Unlimited colours, gradients, and photographic artwork printed edge to edge.
  • Screen Printing: Best with one to three solid spot colours and no gradients or fine shading.
Print Durability

Print Durability

  • Dye Sublimation: Dye bonds into the fibres, so the print cannot crack, peel, or wear off.
  • Screen Printing: Ink sits on the surface, which holds well but can show wear over heavy daily use.
Coverage

Coverage

  • Dye Sublimation: Prints both sides and the full width, including the background colour.
  • Screen Printing: Prints onto a pre-dyed ribbon, so the background is limited to stock colours.
Cost & Quantity

Cost & Quantity

  • Dye Sublimation: Priced the same regardless of how many colours the artwork contains.
  • Screen Printing: Charged per colour, so it is cheapest for simple one-colour logos at volume.

Why Choose Custom Printed Lanyards

Six colorful printed keychains or lanyards with silver metal lobster clasps, arranged diagonally on a white background. The designs include geometric gradients, a Toronto skyline print, tropical leaves with flowers, a rainbow, a starry space scene, and a black hexagonal pattern with red lines.

Dye Sublimated Lanyards

Full colour printing bonded into the fabric, front and back. The right choice for detailed logos, sponsor rows, and any artwork with gradients or more than three colours in it.

Five fabric lanyards with silver lobster clasp keychains arranged diagonally on a light gray background. The lanyards are black, blue, green, red, and gray, each printed with a white geometric logo.

Screen Printed Lanyards

A solid spot-colour logo printed onto a coloured polyester ribbon. The most economical option for simple branding at higher quantities, and still the volume standard.

Five woven lanyards with black plastic quick-release buckles and silver lobster clasps, arranged diagonally on a white background. The lanyards are blue with dark blue triangles, green with dark green diamonds, red with dark red diamonds, navy blue with dark blue diamonds, and black with a gray reflective stripe.

Woven Lanyards

The design is woven into the ribbon rather than printed onto it, giving a textured finish that will not wear off. Suited to simple text and logos where a premium feel is wanted.

Four fabric lanyards in green, mint, navy, and beige colors, laid out diagonally on a light beige surface with decorative leaves, a cloth, and a small bowl of beads.

Eco & Recycled Lanyards

Produced from recycled RPET or bamboo fibre and printed the same way as standard polyester. Increasingly requested by public sector buyers and organisations reporting on procurement.

Staff ID & Access Control

Branded lanyards holding access cards and ID badges, which makes staff identifiable to visitors and lets security see credentials without asking for them.

Events & Exhibitions

Delegate, exhibitor, and crew lanyards are colour-coded by access level, printed with event branding and sponsor logos across the full length of the ribbon.

Five customizable fabric ID lanyards in navy, gray, teal, purple, and black, each with a clear plastic ID holder and a silver metal clasp, arranged on a white surface next to a small potted plant and a navy bag.

Schools & Healthcare

Settings where daily wear makes a safety breakaway essential rather than optional, supplied with quick-release fittings and durable badge holders.

Why Choose The Custom Patches For Custom Printed Lanyards

01

The Custom Patches advises on width, fitting, and safety features against how the lanyard will actually be used, rather than taking an order and letting you discover the clip was wrong once five hundred have arrived.

02
A classic Ferrari shield logo featuring a yellow background, a black rearing horse, and the letters 'S F' at the bottom, bordered by green, white, and red stripes.

We use durable polyester and quality fittings so clips do not fail and print does not fade through months of daily wear. Recycled material options are available across the full range.

03

Our team proofs your artwork at actual print size, confirms the fittings and accessories before production, and handles both single-site orders and multi-location distribution.

Custom Printed Lanyards For Apparel

Refine your order with a range of options so the lanyard suits how it will be worn. Choose your width, fittings, safety features, and accessories to match.

Four adjustable woven web lanyards in black, blue, red, and navy, each with a silver lobster clasp and shown with labeled widths 10mm, 15mm, 20mm, and 25mm on a white background.

Widths & Lengths

Available from 10mm to 25mm wide, with 20mm the most ordered because it carries a logo comfortably. Detailed artwork or sponsor rows need 20mm or more to stay legible at arm's length.

Six webbing lanyards in black, blue, gray, and green, each shown with different metal clasp attachments including lobster clasps, swivel clips, carabiners, and split rings, arranged on a white background.

Clips & Fittings

Choose a swivel clip, J-hook, bulldog clip, trigger clip, key ring, or carabiner. Fitting choice depends on what is being held, and a card holder needs a different clip from a set of keys.

Two adjustable nylon lanyard straps, one black and one blue, shown with black plastic quick-release buckles and silver metal swivel clasp hardware on a light gray background.

Safety Features

A breakaway at the neck releases under pressure, and a quick release buckle lets the badge be removed without taking off the lanyard. Both are recommended wherever lanyards are worn all day.

Accessories & Add-Ons

Add rigid or flexible card holders, retractable badge reels, phone holders, or double-ended clips. Accessories are usually what determines whether a lanyard is actually used as intended.

Frequently Asked Questions

A safety breakaway is a fitting at the back of the neck that separates under pressure, so the lanyard releases rather than pulling tight if it is caught. It is strongly recommended anywhere lanyards are worn throughout the day, and in schools, healthcare settings, and many workplaces it is treated as a requirement rather than an option. We fit them as standard unless you ask us not to.

20 mm suits most logos and is the most ordered width. 10mm and 15mm work for simple text or a compact mark, while 25 mm is worth choosing if your artwork carries fine detail, a long name, or a row of sponsor logos. Send us the artwork and we will confirm what it needs.

Badge holders are supplied separately and chosen to match the clip. Rigid holders protect cards better and suit daily use, flexible wallets are lighter and cheaper for events, and retractable reels suit anyone tapping a card on a reader repeatedly. We will recommend based on how the badge is used.

Printed lanyards carry a minimum order, and unit pricing improves considerably across quantity breaks, which is why most customers order for a full site or event rather than a department. Send us your quantity and specification and we will confirm both the minimum and the break points.
