Custom Lanyards

Lanyards are affordable promotional items used across a variety of disciplines. Ideal for sports games, corporate functions and educational events alike, these small branded items can make a big impact. Whatever message you want to send out into the world, these lanyards have plenty of space for you to make your mark. What’s more, they are one of the most affordable merchandise items on the market, so you can build brand awareness without blowing your marketing budget.

Although many people wouldn’t recognize a lanyard by name, we’ve all seen them being worn during a charity run or at a clothing store. Their impact is two-fold: firstly, they are comfortable to wear and easy to customize according to style and business type; secondly, they can be used to hang keys or display name cards and ID tags.

Custom lanyard uses

The uses for our custom-made, personalized lanyards are practically endless. Whether you’re running a business, promoting a charity or hosting a corporate function, these low-key accessories are suitable for both one-off events and daily use. Here are some popular uses for our lanyards:

Educational use

Lanyards are frequently used in colleges and universities to differentiate between students and staff, particularly in higher education settings. With our O-ring attachments, you can attach visitor cards, staff IDs and student cards easily. Our snap-buckle release means you can switch between ID cards and reuse your lanyards time and time again. Wearing your school’s name around their necks will help both employees and students identify as part of a community, stating clearly who works there and who doesn’t.

Business functions

Perhaps you’re hosting a business function and you want attendees to be able to come and go as they choose. If so, branded lanyards will make everybody feel included in the event, allowing guests and speakers to show themselves back in by presenting the ID around their necks. You could also attach name tags to make it easier for people to network, especially during training sessions or team-building exercises.

Corporate giveaways

Many people choose to store their keys on lanyards so they don’t lose them when they are away from home. Similarly, some skateboarders and sports players attach their keys on lanyards to a chain in their pocket. This means there are numerous opportunities for you to create brand exposure. Simply choose the color and material of your lanyard, upload your logo and let us do the rest. The result is affordable giveaways that can be used repeatedly, creating multiple impressions on your target audience.

Retail branding

If you work in a retail store, you’ll know the importance of branding. When a customer walks through your doors, they want to know who you are and what you sell before they even think about making a purchase. Therefore, your branding needs to appeal to your target market, and it needs to be clearly visible for all to see.

Of course, one way to do this is to display brand posters and signage, but you shouldn’t underestimate the impact of smaller details and how customers appreciate the extra mile. Friendly staff wearing branded uniforms and lanyards sets the right impression from the offset; it shows they are proud to work for your company, and that they are professional in their roles. Plus, they will have a handy place to store their locker key, electronic fob or name tag.

Sporting events

Lanyards provide an easy way for you to showcase your name or runner number during a charity run or sports event. They can be worn comfortably and easily around the neck, and they won’t impact your performance. This is great for companies who sponsor games or charity events, as it creates exposure and allows people to make positive associations with the brand.

Our custom lanyards are made using the highest quality materials for comfort and durability. This means, no matter what you use your lanyards for, you know they will last. Here are some of the materials we use in the creation of our lanyards:
