A small accessory that makes a big impact
In today’s workplace, where every detail counts, a simple custom lanyard can be a powerful communication tool.
Whether used to welcome new employees, manage access to your offices or represent your brand at a trade fair, lanyards combine functionality, professionalism and visibility in one essential item.
What is a custom lanyard and why it’s become a must-have
A custom lanyard – also called a branded neck strap or ID badge holder – is a fabric cord worn around the neck to hold an ID card, keys or even a phone.
Beyond practicality, a lanyard featuring your company logo is an effective branding tool: it increases visibility, reinforces identity and creates a sense of belonging.
From offices and conferences to coworking spaces and large events, lanyards have become a symbol of organisation, safety and brand presence.
The benefits of custom lanyards for companies and HR teams
Brand visibility
A logo printed along the length of the lanyard ensures your brand is always on show — in meetings, at events or during everyday work.
Professional image and belonging
Handing out branded lanyards during onboarding shows attention to detail and helps new team members feel part of the company culture from day one.
Versatility
Perfect for trade fairs, conferences, office use or promotional events, custom lanyards adapt to any professional environment.
Durability and comfort
Made from high-quality materials, these lanyards are designed to last and to feel comfortable all day long.
How to design an effective custom lanyard
Ideal size and proportions
The most common dimensions are 15–20 mm wide and around 45 cm per side.
A wider strap allows better logo readability, while a slimmer version offers a minimalist and lightweight option.
Materials and sustainability
With Pixartprinting, you can choose between a range of materials:
- Polyester for versatility and strength.
- Satin for a smooth, premium look and feel.
- Recycled RPET (e.g. Lanyard Tom) for eco-conscious companies.
The material you choose says a lot about your brand — opt for sustainable fabrics if environmental responsibility is part of your identity.
Printing options and accessories
Personalisation can be done through sublimation or screen printing, both delivering vivid, durable results.
Enhance your lanyard with practical accessories such as:
- Metal hook or clip for ID badges and keys.
- Safety breakaway for added security.
- Quick-release buckle for convenience.
- Phone holder attachment (models Sagan, Kubi, Yogi).
The result: a custom lanyard that’s both functional and perfectly aligned with your company image.
