When planning an event, running a business, or managing a school or hospital, it’s often the small details that matter most. One of those details is the lanyard — a simple strap worn around the neck to carry ID cards, badges, or keys.
With lanyard printing, this everyday item turns into something much more: a tool for branding, organisation, and professional presentation. In this blog, we’ll explore the power of custom lanyards and why they’re the smart choice for modern organisations.
What Is Custom Lanyard Printing?
Lanyard printing means customising a lanyard with your company logo, name, design, or message. These lanyards are used by staff, event attendees, students, visitors, or anyone who needs to carry ID or small items.
They’re more than just practical — they show people who you are, what you stand for, and give your business a clean, united look.
Why Printed Lanyards Are Worth It
Brand Visibility
Every person wearing your printed lanyard becomes a walking advertisement. Whether in the office, at an event, or out in public, your logo and message are seen.
Professional Image
Branded lanyards make your team look more professional. It’s a simple touch that shows you care about presentation and details.
Improved Security
Easily identify staff, visitors, volunteers, or teams by their lanyards. You can even print different colours for different roles or departments.
Convenient & Useful
From holding ID cards to USB drives and keys, lanyards are lightweight, comfortable, and practical for daily use.
Cost-Effective Marketing
Lanyards are affordable — especially in bulk — and give long-term value compared to other types of branding.
