Start your lanyard project ↓Build a lanyard around the way it will be used
Start with the artwork and use case, then choose the material, width, print method and attachment that fit the job.
- Make logos and text easy to read at a glance.
- Choose full-color printing for detailed artwork or woven designs for a fabric-integrated look.
- Match the clip or holder to the badge, key or accessory being carried.
- Include a breakaway feature when the wearing environment calls for one.
Custom Lanyard Printing Options
Choose a finish that suits your artwork, brand colors and intended use. Our current lanyard program lists sublimation, screen printing and woven construction.
Dye sublimation
Best suited to colorful logos, gradients, illustrations and repeating patterns. Artwork is printed across the fabric for a vivid, continuous design.
A strong choice for festivals, creator merchandise and event branding.
Screen printing
A practical option for clear logos, short messages and designs using a limited number of colors. It keeps the artwork direct and easy to recognize.
Useful for staff IDs, school groups and straightforward corporate branding.
Woven lanyards
For logos or text integrated into the fabric itself. The result has a tactile, textile look rather than a surface-printed appearance.
Consider for club identity, uniforms and long-term staff use.
Tubular lanyards
A rounded cord-style look rather than a flat woven strap. If this is the style you need, include it in your request so the team can confirm current availability.
Perfectly suited for holding lightweight items like ID cards, access badges and keys.
Materials, Widths & Attachments
The right combination depends on how the lanyard will be worn, what it needs to carry and how much space your artwork needs.
Material Options

Material availability and exact fabric specifications are confirmed with the quote.

Make Your Custom Lanyard Design Easy to Read and Ready to Print
Lanyards are narrow, curved and frequently viewed while being worn. A little planning helps keep logos, text and repeating artwork clear.
- Use high-resolution artwork. AI, EPS and PNG files are accepted on the current lanyard quote workflow.
- Keep small text and fine details to a minimum, especially on narrower straps.
- Use strong contrast between the fabric color and your logo or lettering.
- For gradients, photographs and detailed illustrations, ask about sublimation printing.
- For simple logos and fewer colors, compare screen printing with woven construction.
Review the digital proof carefully
Check the artwork repeat, logo direction, text spelling, strap width, attachment position and safety feature before approving the final layout.
- Confirm the front and reverse artwork, if applicable.
- Check the design at the actual lanyard width.
- Make sure the chosen attachment suits the badge or accessory.
- Confirm quantity, delivery deadline and shipping destination.
