Branded lanyards

Choose the Custom Lanyard Based on the Occasion You Need it for

On our website, we offer various types of lanyards, each with different characteristics to suit your needs. Below, we provide a detailed explanation of the available types:

• Simple: This is the most popular and affordable type. It consists of a flat strap with a hook closure to attach your identification card or any other item. This type of lanyard is practical and functional, ideal for conferences or professional events.
• Double Closure: This type of lanyard features two hooks, one at each end. Its main advantage is that it allows you to carry large identifications that require two attachment points, but it can also hold two different items.
• Double: This model consists of two sewn straps—one wider at the bottom and a printed one at the top. Thanks to the combination of both, the printing on the upper strap stands out more than in a simple model. Additionally, the two layers provide greater durability and strength. Perfect for the office or when you’re looking for a lanyard with a more premium image.
• Tubular: This type of lanyard has a tubular or cylindrical design. It is undoubtedly an original and innovative design that allows for the combination of different colours in the fabric to create unique patterns. A distinctive model that will help you stand out.

Express Manufacturing and Delivery

For our collection of custom lanyards, we offer two different types of service. On one hand, there is production in Asia, which offers you the most economical prices in the market. The factories are periodically audited by amfori BSCI to ensure good working conditions. And don’t worry about the quantity, as the minimum is 100 units. Additionally, the price includes air shipping to Europe, so you can expect to receive them in 14-21 working days.

However, we understand that sometimes there is more urgency, and for these occasions, we have our express models. These are produced in Europe, meaning they can be delivered within 3-5 working days. Furthermore, due to the shorter transport distance, the carbon footprint is lower. If you need your printed lanyards quickly, we recommend contacting our customer service, which will assist you with your order.

The Best Materials for Your Lanyards with Logo

In addition to the different types of straps, you can also choose from various materials, from those that offer the best price to more premium or sustainable options.

• Polyester: Polyester is a material known for its strength, lightness, and flexibility. Additionally, it is one of the most economical solutions. It also allows for various customisation options, such as screen printing or sublimation.
• Satin Polyester: It has similar characteristics to the previous material, with the difference that it has a shinier finish and a softer, more pleasant feel than conventional polyester. Recommended for sublimation printing.
• Cord Type Polyester: A different alternative, as its appearance and texture resemble that of shoelaces, giving it a more youthful visual finish.
• RPET: Made from recycled plastic. If your company is committed to reducing its environmental impact, we recommend this option. It also allows for similar marking options to polyester and has a similar feel.
• Cork: A plant-based fabric derived from the bark of the cork oak, known for its resilience and sustainability. Cork is a trendy material that will provide a natural image for your brand aligned with environmental care values.
• Organic Cotton: A fabric known for its softness. Unlike conventional cotton, this comes from organic farming, making it the most sustainable option available in our catalogue.

The Purpose of the Buckle on the Straps

Some models of branded lanyards in our collection feature a plastic buckle located a few centimetres above the hook. This allows for the easy detachment of the hook so you can use the lower part without needing to remove the strap.

This is particularly useful if the lanyard carries identifications, keys, mobile phones, or USB drives.

The Importance of Choosing the Right Badge Holder

When purchasing a corporate lanyard, it is generally desired that it includes a plastic holder for the identification card that will be attached to the hook. This accessory is known as a badge holder. When choosing this item, it is important to consider that there are rigid (sturdy and resistant to avoid bending the card) or soft holders (for cards that do not require protection). It is recommended to choose rigid holders if employees will carry their identifications continuously over time and soft ones (which are more economical) if they will be used at fairs, events, and conferences.

Additionally, holders can be selected in horizontal or vertical orientation, depending on how the card is printed, and they are available in various sizes to fit the accreditation correctly.

Don't Forget the Safety Closure

The safety closure is a plastic piece that sits behind the neck when wearing the lanyard. This accessory will easily open if there is a pull, thereby preventing injury and the potential choking of the wearer.

In Europe, there is no general regulation specifically requiring lanyards to include a mandatory safety closure. However, certain industries and workplaces may have specific requirements regarding the safety of these accessories.

For instance, in the UK, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) recommends the use of lanyards with a safety closure as part of safety measures to prevent accidents in the workplace. Moreover, European regulations on personal protective equipment (EU Regulation 2016/425) establish safety and quality requirements for personal protective equipment, including these straps.

It is important to note that the absence of specific regulation does not mean that using a safety closure is unimportant or not advisable. In fact, including this feature can be a good practice to reduce the risk of accidents and serious injuries.

How We Print Your Business Lanyards for Events and Fairs

When customising lanyards, there are several printing areas you can choose from. The most common area is on the strap, as this is where the logo will be most visible. Straps can be customised on one or both sides. If you only want to print your logo, the most common practice is to repeat it all over the strap. It is also possible to create a specific design that covers the entire strap. We recommend this option if you are looking for good visibility, economical prices, and quick delivery.

There are models where you can also choose printing on the tag. In fact, some only allow printing in this area, as occurs in most tubular lanyards. This personalisation is more discreet but gives a more premium appearance.

Finally, there are some models that, as printing cannot be done on the fabric, feature a round plastic piece on which full-colour printing can be done with a resin drop. This personalisation is very visible and has the advantage that the logo is more protected, thus getting less dirty and wearing out less than other options.

Depending on the chosen lanyard, a different technique will be applied, so it’s important to be clear about the advantages and disadvantages of each.

• Screen Printing: Screen printing is a technique where ink is applied directly to the strap through a stretched mesh. It is the chosen option if the design is from 1 to 4 colours and allows for the selection of a specific Pantone colour for printing. It is economical and popular for all types of merchandise and simple designs.
• Sublimation: Sublimation is the suitable alternative if you want a full-colour design, as the printing is integrated into the lanyard through heat application. Another advantage of this marking method is that customisation can be done over the entire surface of the strap.
• Resin Drop: A resin drop is a full-colour print that is protected by a transparent resin layer on top, providing a rubber-like feel.

Sublimated Lanyards: The Most Popular Choice Among Our Customers

If you can imagine it, you can print it on a sublimation lanyard. Full-colour logos, gradients, or any design proposed by our graphic design team on a strap that supports this technique is the ideal option. Moreover, you are not limited by a printing area, as mentioned, as printing can be done all over the accessory, on one or both sides. Even if you only want to print your logo, this can be a good choice as it is cheap and we offer quick delivery.

The Exclusivity of Woven Lanyards

Lanyards with a woven logo are not those in which the logo is printed using one of the known techniques. In this case, the logo is woven into the strap at the moment the item is manufactured. This alternative ensures that the logo will not fade as it is part of the strap itself

This allows for prints of 1 to 4 colours without small details, as these will not be clearly visible due to the stitching of the weave. Highly recommended for companies seeking a durable and high-quality option.

3 Tips for Using Lanyards to Advertise Your Brand

Two of the most common occasions for using these items are at conferences and fairs. Here are 3 tips we’ve learned from manufacturing lanyards for thousands of customers to promote your company:

1- Identify Your Employees. This is important so that clients can quickly locate team members who can assist them. Additionally, they can carry their security pass or keys to the premises.

2- Give Them Away at Events. They are an inexpensive accessory that is often used daily, making them a valued gift that will provide visibility for your brand.

3- Opt for a Striking Design. To attract your audience's attention. Some models allow for sublimation, meaning you can not only place your logo repeatedly but also make it stand out with a different colour background, gradients, or include a small text.
