What Are Custom Lanyards Used For?

Custom lanyards are used across Guildford for identification, branding, access control, and promotion in workplaces, events, schools, and healthcare.

They help staff and guests wear ID cards, keycards, or badges while maintaining a consistent branded appearance. They’re especially popular for trade shows, school admin, volunteers, and corporate teams, where role clarity and visual identity matter. They’re also great for giveaways and internal campaigns.

What Customisation Options Are Available For Lanyards?

Common custom lanyard choices include:

• Matching brand colours using Pantone codes
• Uploading logos and taglines
• Choosing between screen, sublimation, or woven designs
• Selecting clip types: swivel, lobster, or breakaway
• Adding extras like badge holders or retractable reels

How Much Do Custom Lanyards Cost?

Custom lanyards cost between £0.30 and £1.70 per unit, depending on design complexity, order size, material, and printing technique.

Basic polyester with single-colour screen printing is the most affordable. Prices rise with options like dye-sublimation, double-sided print, or accessories such as badge reels and breakaways. Larger orders benefit from lower unit costs, and we’re always happy to quote based on your exact custom setup.

What Printing Methods Are Best For Custom Lanyards?

The best print method for custom lanyards in Guildford depends on your design: screen printing for simplicity, dye-sublimation for colour complexity, and woven styles for long wear.

Screen printing is fast and budget-friendly, great for 1–2 colour logos. Dye-sublimation allows full-colour printing across the whole strap, ideal for gradients and photo-style branding. Woven lanyards stitch your logo directly into the fabric, offering durability and a classic look for repeated wear.

Which Materials Are Best For Custom Lanyards?

Top materials for custom lanyards include:

• Polyester – Cost-effective and compatible with all printing methods, making it the most popular choice.
• Nylon – Glossy and smooth, ideal for high-end, professional-looking lanyards.
• Satin – Soft and silky, perfect for luxury branding and stylish event use.
• Bamboo – Natural and biodegradable, offering an eco-friendly option with solid print quality.
• Recycled PET – Made from recycled plastics, supports sustainability while maintaining print clarity.

What Is The Turnaround Time For Custom Lanyards?

Turnaround time for custom lanyards in Guildford is typically 7–10 working days, with rush production available in as little as 3–5 days. This includes design approval, printing, and tracked shipping. We’ll confirm your timeline before starting and can adjust production to fit urgent schedules or event deadlines.

Are There Eco-Friendly Options For Custom Lanyards?

We offer eco-friendly custom lanyards in Guildford made from recycled PET, bamboo, and biodegradable materials.

These options help reduce your carbon footprint and support responsible branding. Our eco lanyards look just as professional and perform just as well as traditional options while aligning with green values and sustainable event standards.

How Do I Choose The Right Attachments For My Custom Lanyards?

In Guildford, choosing the right attachments for custom lanyards depends on their intended use, durability, and security requirements.

Key factors to consider include:

• Badge type – Swivel hooks or J-hooks work well for standard ID cards, while bulldog clips are ideal for rigid or laminated badges.
• Security needs – Breakaway clips add safety in high-risk environments like schools or hospitals.
• Ease of access – Retractable badge reels are great for frequent scanning or key access.
• Event duration – Plastic attachments suit short-term events, while metal clips offer long-term durability.
