Custom Lanyards for Companies, Conferences and Events
A custom lanyard is around every attendee's neck throughout the event. Choose width, material, clasp and badge holder, approve the design on screen, and we deliver it to the venue on the day, with each person's badge already assembled if needed. Minimum order of 10 units.
The Most Seen Piece of Conference Merchandise
A custom lanyard appears in every event photo: on every badge, in every group, at every talk. Of all the promotional merchandise at a conference, it's the brand seen most per euro spent — as long as the strap isn't thin, doesn't fade, and the clasp lasts two days of the conference.
We offer sublimation lanyards in satin polyester and lanyards in organic cotton or recycled polyester (RPET), with your logo in full colour or woven, metal carabiner, swivel hook or safety clasp, and matching badge holder. We send them with the rest of the event merchandise: goodie bags, convention kits and gifts for events and conferences.
Corporate Lanyards for the Office, Not Just the Conference
The same corporate lanyards that badge an attendee can be used throughout the year as a personalised key strap, for the office access card or to identify visitors and suppliers. If you've already used them at an event, you can repeat the design for the team without starting from scratch.
Customising a lanyard for the office is the same process as for an event, and the order is placed with the rest of your corporate merchandise: each person receives their lanyard along with the rest of the kit, either at the office or at home.
What You Can Choose for Your Customisable Lanyard
- Strap width of 10, 15, 20 or 25 mm, in satin polyester, RPET or cotton, and colour matching your brand.
- Full colour sublimation printing (logo and slogan repeated) or woven logo for large runs; in both cases, you approve the design on screen before production.
- Clasps: metal carabiner, swivel hook, clip and safety clasp, which releases if the strap is pulled. Rigid or flexible badge holders, matching the strap.
- Sustainable version in recycled polyester (RPET) or organic cotton with single-colour marking, matching the rest of your eco-friendly merchandise.
Which lanyard width to choose: 10, 15, 20 or 25 mm
| Lanyard width | What reads well | Common use |
|---|---|---|
| 10 mm | A small logo in single ink, no slogan | Keychain and access card lanyard |
| 15 mm | Single ink or sublimated logo, repeated along the lanyard | Office and internal events |
| 20 mm | Full colour sublimation logo with a short slogan | Conferences and trade shows: the most common width |
| 25 mm | Large logo, slogan and sponsor logos | Conferences with sponsors or multiple profiles |
What fits depends on your logo. We'll show you the lanyard on screen before production, and you can adjust the size until it's readable from a distance.
How It Works
- Send us your logo, colours, width, quantity and event date; we show you the custom lanyard on screen and you adjust it until it's just right.
- We produce the full run in two to three weeks, with badge holders if needed.
- We deliver to your office or the conference venue, along with the rest of the event merchandise.
Personalised accreditation: one lanyard per attendee, with their name
At a conference, the lanyard is not a gift; it's the accreditation. If you provide us with the attendee list, we deliver each badge printed with their name and profile, already mounted on the lanyard and organised for the reception desk: the door team hands them out instead of searching.
When there are multiple profiles — attendee, speaker, staff, press — they are separated by lanyard colour with the same background design and can be distinguished at a glance, without reading the card. Each profile has the quantity you need, so the few speaker lanyards don't require matching the attendee quantity, and everything is included in the same delivery as the event identification wristbands and the rest of the trade show and conference merchandise.
Lanyards Alone or Within the Accreditation Kit
You can order just the lanyards or create the complete accreditation kit with us: strap, badge holder, programme, notebook and promotional gift in a bag or box with your brand, ready for the reception desk.
For internal events — conventions, kick-offs, training sessions — the lanyard also helps identify teams by colour, and the rest of the kit can be chosen by each attendee on the portal before they arrive. If you want each team member to have one for their access card, it fits just as well in the new employee welcome pack.
Sublimation, woven logo or single ink: which technique to choose
| Technique | Colours | Recommended quantity | Estimated lead time | Ideal for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sublimation (satin polyester) | Full colour, gradients and photos | From small quantities | Two to three weeks | Conferences and events with colour designs |
| Woven logo | Solid colours | Large quantities | Slightly longer than sublimation | Annual conferences and continuous use |
| Single ink marking (RPET or cotton) | One colour | From small quantities | The fastest | Last-minute events and sustainable version |
Estimated times with design approved. If the event is imminent, consult us before choosing the technique.
Customised lanyard from 10 units
The minimum order is what turns a small event into a box of leftover lanyards stored in a cupboard until next year. Here, there's no minimum figure: you order the lanyards you need, even if it's just a few, and repeat the same design when the event returns.
Customising a lanyard works the same for a small run as for a large one: the same on-screen design and the same approval before production. And if the lanyard isn't alone, it's included in the same order as the rest of your corporate merchandise — textiles, stationery, goodie bags — with a single invoice.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a minimum order for custom lanyards?
Yes: 10 units per reference. The order as a whole must also come to at least €100 excluding VAT. From there, we produce short runs for an internal meeting and thousands of units for a conference. For short runs, sublimation allows marking without screen costs; for thousands, screen printing lowers the unit price.
How long does a lanyard order take?
With the design approved, two to three weeks for sublimation and a bit longer for woven logos. If the event is imminent, contact us: there are fast production options with single-colour marking.
Can you include the badge holder and printed accreditation?
Yes. We supply matching badge holders and, if you provide the attendee list, deliver printed accreditations assembled on the lanyard, sorted for the reception desk.
How much does a customised lanyard cost?
It depends on the material, marking technique, closure, whether it includes a card holder, and especially the quantity: from a few hundred units, the price per piece drops significantly. We'll provide an estimated price along with the on-screen design before production.
What is the difference between sublimation lanyards and woven logo lanyards?
Sublimation prints the design in full colour on polyester, allowing for gradients and photos, and is cost-effective from small quantities. The woven logo is integrated into the lanyard itself, withstands continuous use better, and offers a more premium finish, but requires a large quantity and slightly longer lead time. For an annual conference with thousands of attendees, weaving is usually more cost-effective; for others, sublimation is ideal.
Which width of customised lanyard should I choose: 15, 20 or 25 mm?
The 20 mm width is the most common at conferences: it accommodates a full colour sublimation logo with a short slogan and is readable from a distance. The 15 mm width is suitable for office and internal events, with a single ink or sublimated logo. The 25 mm width provides space for a large logo and sponsor logos. The 10 mm width is for keychain or access card lanyards, with a small single ink logo.
Do you make lanyards from recycled polyester (RPET) or cotton?
Yes. In addition to satin polyester, which is used for sublimation, we offer recycled polyester (RPET) and organic cotton lanyards with single-colour printing. This is the sensible choice if your other merchandise is already selected for recycled or certified materials.
What type of fastening does a personalised lanyard have?
You can choose from a metal carabiner, swivel hook, clip, or safety breakaway. The safety breakaway releases when the lanyard is tugged, making it ideal for factories, warehouses, and environments with machinery; for a two-day conference, a carabiner is usually sufficient. The badge holder, whether rigid or flexible, is chosen separately to match the lanyard.
