Printed lanyards are lanyards customised with your logo, text or branding. They are designed to hold ID cards, access passes, keys or badges while also helping to clearly identify staff, visitors, contractors or event attendees.

Printed lanyards are widely used in workplaces, schools, healthcare settings and events because they combine practical everyday use with a professional, consistent look across your team.

Printed lanyards can feature company logos, brand names, event titles, department names, safety messages or short taglines. Many organisations also choose to print motivational phrases or wording aligned with their values, mission or organisational vision.

The available print method, colour options and artwork requirements depend on the lanyard style selected. Examples include Personalised Flat Polyester Custom Printed Lanyards and UK-made full-colour lanyards, both of which are well suited to detailed logos and text.

If you’re unsure what will work best for your design, we can advise on the most suitable lanyard and print method for your artwork.

Printed lanyards can be supplied with a variety of end attachments, depending on how you plan to use them and what items you need to carry. Common options include:

• Trigger clips for attaching ID badge holders or card wallets.

• Swivel clips that allow the badge holder or pass to rotate freely.

• Split rings for attaching keys or small accessories.

• Retractable badge reels, such as those in the retractable lanyards range, which allow your access card or ID to extend for scanning or swiping without removing the lanyard.

The right attachment depends on whether you’re carrying ID cards, access passes, keys, or a combination of items, and how often you need easy access throughout the day.

Printed lanyards are available in a range of widths depending on the product and printing method. Common options include:

• 10mm – ideal for lightweight wear and smaller, subtle branding.

• 15mm – a popular choice offering a balance of comfort and logo visibility.

• 20mm or wider – suited to bold branding and larger logos.

Wider options are often available on full colour printed lanyards, where a larger print area helps your design stand out clearly.

Yes. Many printed lanyards can be used to carry both ID cards and keys, provided the correct attachment is chosen.

• Split rings are best suited for attaching keys.

• Trigger clips or swivel clips are ideal for ID badge holders or card wallets.

• Combination fittings can also be supplied — for example, a split ring for keys attached to a trigger clip — allowing both keys and an ID badge to be carried on the same lanyard.

This makes printed lanyards a flexible, practical solution for staff who need to carry multiple items throughout the day.
