Custom Lanyards: A Buyer’s Guide

Four choices make the order

Ordering custom lanyards comes down to material, width, attachment and timing. The design is usually the quick part once those are settled.

Pick the material

Polyester is the everyday choice. Woven gives a raised premium logo, sublimated allows full color, nylon feels smooth and soft, breakaway adds safety, and wristlets suit keys and giveaways.

Choose the width and attachment

Wider straps show a bigger logo. Swivel hooks suit most badges, bulldog clips suit heavier holders and key rings suit keys.

Think about the badge

Add clear badge holders or badge reels so the lanyards arrive ready to hand out. For events, consider a different strap color for each group.

Plan back from the date

You will get a free mockup within 24 hours, unlimited free revisions, and production takes about 2 weeks after approval — with faster turnaround available on express shipping. Minimum order is 12 lanyards.
