If you are planning an event or reviewing internal ID processes, this is where you start.

We group products here by function, so you can quickly decide what you need.
- Custom Lanyards – Wearable straps for holding ID cards, access passes or keys. Ideal when staff or attendees must carry credentials at all times.

If you are unsure whether you need straps, badges or both, the simplest rule is this: If people must carry ID, start with lanyards. If people must display information clearly, start with name badges. Many events require both.
How to Choose the Right Lanyards and Name Badges for Your Organisation
Start with your operational goal, not the product. If you are managing building access, durability and attachment type matter most. Consider the clip or fitting. Standard lobster clips suit most ID cards. Retractable reels work well in secure offices. Breakaway safety fittings are common in schools and healthcare settings. For conferences and exhibitions, visibility is key. Wider lanyards allow larger print areas and stronger logo presence. Clear plastic wallets protect printed inserts and keep details readable throughout the event. Think about scale. Large events often require consistent colour coding for staff, VIPs and attendees. A simple colour system reduces confusion and speeds up on-site management. Material also influences perception. Polyester is cost-effective for high-volume orders. Woven or dye-sublimated finishes give a sharper result for corporate launches or sponsor-heavy events. If sustainability reporting is part of your brief, recycled materials may be the better route. Finally, consider longevity. Printing your organisation name rather than a single event date extends usefulness beyond one campaign.
Branding and Practicality: Designing Lanyards and Printed Name Tags That Work
Lanyards are long and narrow. Designs need to suit that shape. Landscape logos and clear wordmarks perform best. Fine lines can distort on textile surfaces, so bold graphics tend to reproduce more cleanly. Colour choice is practical, not just aesthetic. A strong base colour improves visibility in crowded venues. High-contrast printing ensures your logo remains readable from a distance. This matters at exhibitions where staff need to be identifiable quickly. For name badges, legibility comes first. Use clear fonts and logical layout: name, company, role. If you are printing inserts in-house, choose holders that allow easy swapping without damage. Attachment choice affects usability. Carabiner-style clips are popular for reusable ID solutions. Standard clips are efficient for high-volume events. Extendable hooks allow quick access to card reader
