Frequently Asked Questions


What are your main types of lanyards?

Our most popular custom lanyard is our Silkscreen Microweave Lanyard; it is the best choice for value and presentation where you can have your choice of text or logo printed onto the material. Second would be our Dye Sublimated Lanyard, which is a full colour print lanyard, where the ink is ‘dyed’ into the material.We also offer many more material choices such as woven lanyards, tube polyester lanyards, vinyl lanyards and much more. Woven lanyards have extra strength due to their woven polyester weave, where your logo is embroided into the material.

Is there a minimum order?

Our custom lanyards all have a minimum order of 500 units.

What attachment options are available?

We have such a wide range of attachments, that in all likely hood, if you are looking for one, we have it. Some of the more popular attachment clips are bulldog clips and swivel hook clips, as well as trigger swivel hook clips and split rings.

What is the best lanyard for a complex logos?

Our Dye Sublimated Lanyards are the best for complex logos. Where fine details and complex colours are required, the dye transfer process ensures these details are transferred to the material. To ensure you’re getting what you need in terms of print quality, we encourage you to speak to our team to ensure you get the best possible outcome.

How long are your lanyards?

Our standard lanyards are approximately 91.4cm before being sewn and looped together. We have ensured that these are the ideal length for most adults to wear comfortably around the neck. Ask us about options for lengths as we are able to make them shorter or longer to suit your requirements.

What kind of lanyard widths do you offer?

Our lanyards come in a range of standard widths, but range from 5mm to 25mm depending on your material choice. Talk to someone from our team about what width is best for your needs.

How long will my order take?

Custom Lanyard orders normally take about 3 weeks to arrive after final artwork approval. If you have an urgent deadline, please reach out to our customer service team.

What colours can I choose?

We have a selection of 12 standard stock material colours for our products, but can colour match any colour via the Pantone Colour Matching system. Simply let us know your PMS numbers and we’ll do the rest.

Do you have safe lanyards for medical settings?

People working in hospitals or other medical settings usually need to carry some form of ID for security purposes. However, wearing a lanyard might seem unsafe in a medical setting due to the choking hazard they provide inherently. We offer lanyards with single or multiple “break away” clips that quickly detach preventing the lanyard from choking the wearer. Speak to one of our team so they can assist you in ordering the right specification for your requirements.
