Not Just for Holding Passes—For Keeping Your Brand in Sight, Literally All Day Lanyards are a bit like chairs. Nobody talks about them much. They’re not exciting, they’re rarely the centre of attention—and yet, events don’t work without them. Offices don’t function without them. You probably have three of them in a drawer already, even if you don’t remember where they came from. And that’s exactly the point. Branded lanyards don’t need to shout. They just need to show up. Around necks. At events. At receptions. In back offices and front-facing teams. They don’t demand attention. They earn it quietly, just by being constantly there.

People wear lanyards to do their job. To attend events. To access buildings. To carry ID or swipe cards or even keys. And they wear them in some of the most visible contexts—receptions, trade shows, team photos, public events.
Which means your brand ends up in more pictures, videos, livestreams, and “oh I remember them” moments than you probably realise.
But here’s what’s clever—unlike most promotional products, branded lanyards sit front and centre. Literally across someone’s chest or shoulder. And nobody questions it. Nobody thinks it’s odd to have a logo there. It’s expected.
So, when you customise a lanyard with your logo, your name, your colour palette—it doesn’t feel forced. It feels natural.
And that’s rare in branding.
Honestly, if your business or organisation interacts with people in-person—at all—you should probably be using branded lanyards.
But more specifically:
Conferences, exhibitions, and networking events
Corporate offices, coworking spaces, or HQs
Retail teams and in-store staff
Schools, universities, and training centres
Festivals, sporting events, and tours
Hospitals, clinics, and healthcare events
Security staff, contractors, and temporary access teams
Charities, fundraising campaigns, or volunteer outreach
It’s more than just a badge holder. It’s a subtle way to say, this person is with us.
We’ve put together a range of lanyards that cover all the bases—budget-conscious, sustainability-focused, comfort-driven, and premium styles. They all do the same thing, but how they feel and look? That’s where the variation comes in.
The classic. Woven or printed polyester, available in just about any colour.
Why people choose them:
Reliable, durable, affordable
Available in 10mm, 15mm, 20mm, or 25mm widths
Great for large teams or big events
Printing options:
Screen printing (solid colours, sharp edges)
Dye sublimation (full-colour, gradients, complex designs)
Double-sided printing available
Fasteners and clips:
Metal trigger clips
Plastic J-hooks
Breakaway safety clasps
Lobster claws, swivel clips, and even bottle openers if you want them
Standard lanyards are often used once—but kept. People don’t throw them out. They end up in homes, hung near keys, or tossed into bags "just in case".
Sustainability doesn’t mean boring. We offer environmentally conscious lanyards made from:
Recycled PET (from plastic bottles)
Bamboo fibre blends
Cork and organic cotton options
Biodegradable materials (yes, really)
Why they matter:
Demonstrates eco values to attendees and staff
Pairs well with sustainable event messaging
Still durable enough for real-world use
Print methods remain just as sharp. And they feel different—so people notice.
These are for designs that pop. Think gradients, photo-style branding, or abstract prints. You’re not limited to one or two ink colours—this is edge-to-edge, full spectrum printing.
Ideal for:
Creative brands, design agencies, or tech startups
Festivals, art shows, or bold corporate events
Multi-brand collaborations or sponsors lists
We can also print custom patterns, QR codes, or alternating designs across the length.
A bit different to printed ones—these have your logo or text stitched in to the fabric. Not printed on top.
They’re usually:
Thicker and more tactile
Subtle in appearance (limited colour contrast)
More premium feeling
Great for:
Long-term staff use
Hospitality teams
Brand-led organisations where texture matters
These take longer to produce, but they last. And they look serious.
Want to stand out a bit more? No problem.
We’ve made lanyards with:
Built-in USB drives
Reflective strips for night events or cycling teams
LED lighting for visibility or branding flair
Bottle openers (yes, really)
Mobile phone loops or stylus attachments
Sometimes it’s not about wearing a pass. It’s about utility. Or personality. We’re here for it.
Don’t forget the add-ons. Sometimes it’s the little detail that makes the difference.
Card holders (PVC, biodegradable, rigid)
Name badges and ID inserts
Retractable reels
Safety breakaways (mandatory in many settings)
Double clips (for wide badge displays)
Custom packaging for retail-style presentation
These are more than extras—they help your lanyards function better, feel better, and last longer.
We’ve all seen it—the lanyard that looks faded after a few wears. Or the logo that starts peeling. That’s not us.
We use:
Long-wearing inks and heat-cured printing
Tight weaving for embroidered designs
Pantone-matching to keep brand colours consistent
Sample testing (real people wearing them in real conditions)
Your lanyard isn’t just a one-day item. It’s a roaming, visible, wearable piece of your brand. We treat it with the care that deserves.
Let’s be honest—they’re not always the hero product. But when used right, they’re the thing people remember wearing, not just receiving.
The lanyard is often the first thing attendees see. It's the thing they touch the most. It gets worn in every photo.
Want staff to feel unified without the full uniform? Branded lanyards walk that line perfectly.
Not everyone wants to wear a branded polo shirt. A lanyard’s a subtle alternative.
Helps distinguish roles—visitor, staff, volunteer, student—and keeps your institution’s name front of mind.
Makes access easy, professional, and organised.
Even temporary volunteers feel official with a branded lanyard. And they keep them afterward.
What’s the minimum order?
Typically 100 units for most styles. Larger orders reduce per-unit costs quickly.
Can we match our exact brand colours?
Yes—just provide your Pantone references and we’ll match them.
Are all lanyards the same length?
Standard is around 90cm total (45cm drop), but we can customise length and width.
Can we print on both sides?
Absolutely. It’s common—and often smart for visibility.
Do you supply eco options with recyclable packaging?
Yes. We’re happy to align with sustainability goals at every step.
Because we don’t think lanyards are boring.
We think they’re one of the most quietly effective branding tools available. They’re useful, wearable, visible—and when designed well, even stylish. They don’t just hold name badges. They carry your identity. They walk around in crowds, sit in meetings, show up in photos, and quietly say, This is who we are.
At BulkBranded, we’re not interested in just selling “stuff.” We help businesses, events, teams, and causes show up—and be recognised. Lanyards are just one of the tools we use to make that happen.
And we think they deserve a bit more credit than they usually get.
Yes, most of the time. The more you order, the better the price per unit — that’s kind of the whole idea behind BulkBranded. That said, pricing can depend on the product, the complexity of branding, and honestly, just the timing. If you’re placing a big order, it’s always worth getting in touch for a custom quote.
Usually, yes. We can often send out a plain sample so you can get a feel for the quality. Branded samples are sometimes possible too, though they might come with a small fee, mainly to cover setup and production. It’s best to ask; we’ll let you know what’s doable.
It varies. Some products are super quick, a few days, while others take a bit longer depending on customisation and stock. We’ll always aim to give you a realistic timeline, not just the fastest one. If you’ve got a deadline (especially a tight one), let us know up front so we can see what’s possible.
No problem. If you’ve got a rough idea or just some text, we can help tidy it up or recreate it in a print-ready format. We’re used to this. A lot of clients don’t have perfect files to begin with. We’ll work with what you’ve got.
Yes, and we’re trying to expand that range all the time. From recycled notebooks to reusable drinkware, there are some solid sustainable choices — though, to be honest, not every product has an eco version yet. We’ll show you what’s available.
For a lot of items, yes — especially clothing or bags. You can often mix sizes or colours in one order, as long as the branding stays the same across all of them. Just note that some colour mixes might require a bit more time or cost slightly more.
Not everything, no. Some items are branded by us directly, while others go through trusted partners — it depends on the product and print method. Either way, we stay involved through the whole process and quality-check everything before it reaches you.
Mistakes are rare, but they can happen. If something’s not right — misprint, wrong item, damaged in transit — just get in touch. We’ll sort it out. We know how important branded merchandise is for events, launches, or just your reputation in general, so we don’t take it lightly.
Mostly within the UK, but we can sometimes arrange international shipping if needed. It depends on the destination and the type of product. Best to ask before ordering so we can give you accurate info and costs.
Absolutely. That’s kind of what we’re here for. If you’re stuck between a few options or don’t know what would suit your brand best, just drop us a message. We’ll walk you through it — product suggestions, mockups, whatever you need.
From jackets to stationery, we create high-quality branded merchandise that reflects your business. Share your requirements with us today & our expert team will deliver solutions that impress and last.
