Promotional Lanyards
Promotional lanyards are one of the most widely used identification products for conferences, exhibitions, workplaces, schools and events. The range includes Printed Lanyards and Woven Lanyards, together with eco friendly lanyards, pre printed lanyards, unprinted lanyards, card holders and retractable card holders. Available in a variety of materials, attachment styles and branding options, lanyards provide a practical way to display ID cards, visitor passes, security credentials and event badges while keeping them accessible throughout the day.
Lanyards are used across a wide range of industries because they simplify identification and credential management. Businesses use them for staff access cards, schools for student identification, while conferences and exhibitions rely on lanyards to display attendee badges and event credentials. Their combination of visibility, convenience and everyday use continues to make them one of the most popular event and workplace products.
Some Popular Lanyards
Why Different Lanyard Styles Are Used
Not all lanyards are designed for the same purpose. Printed lanyards are commonly used when logos, event branding or sponsor messaging need to be highly visible, while woven lanyards are often selected when durability and a more premium finish are important. Eco friendly lanyards provide an alternative for organisations looking to incorporate recycled or sustainable materials into their event and workplace products.
Attachment choices can also influence how a lanyard is used. Some lanyards are paired with ID card holders for conferences and exhibitions, while others are used with access cards, visitor passes and security credentials in workplaces and educational environments. These differences help explain the variety of lanyard styles available across the category.
Printed lanyards are often the most popular choice for conferences because they allow event names, sponsor logos and branding to be displayed clearly. They are commonly paired with card holders containing attendee badges, visitor passes and conference credentials.
Printed lanyards are generally preferred when detailed logos, gradients and full-colour artwork are important. Woven lanyards are often selected when a textured finish and long-term durability are priorities, particularly for staff identification and workplace use.
Breakaway clips are designed to release when the lanyard is pulled with force, helping reduce the risk of snagging. They are commonly used in schools, healthcare environments, manufacturing facilities and workplaces where safety requirements are a consideration.
For access cards and swipe cards, many organisations use retractable card holders because they allow credentials to be presented without removing the card from the lanyard. Trigger clips and lobster clips are also common attachment options depending on the type of credential being carried.
Many eco friendly lanyards are manufactured from recycled PET materials and offer durability similar to standard polyester lanyards. The choice often comes down to environmental objectives, branding preferences and the intended usage period.
David from our sales team says: The most common issue isn't usually the lanyard itself—it's choosing the wrong attachment or card holder. We recommend confirming how the event badges will be used before ordering, as access cards, visitor passes and conference credentials often require different fittings.
