Custom Lanyards Buying Guide - Yiyixing

Why Buy Promotional Lanyards?

Outside of a flashing sign, few promotional items provide as much visibility for your logo or message than custom lanyards.

Lanyards are cords or straps, worn around the neck, that allow important items to be carried comfortably. They have become the preferred means for anyone who must wear ID badges, like employees or trade show attendees and vendors, to display their identification, as they won’t poke holes in clothing (or skin!) like old-school badges. Many people also use lanyards as a convenient way to carry keys, cell phones, and other necessities that weigh down the pockets.

Functional and convenient, custom lanyards are everywhere, worn every day right at potential customers’ eye-level. Best of all, a personalized lanyard provides a long, wide printable surface where your logo can be displayed repeatedly or your message can be as long as you want. Talk about visibility!

Deluxe offers a wide selection of promotional lanyards, ID badge holders, and eyewear retainers in a variety of materials, sizes, colors, and economical prices.

This guide will next discuss the different materials available for custom lanyards before moving onto describing the varying clips you can use onX your lanyards. Finally, we’ll go over the ordering process, including the things you’ll need to watch out for when ordering.

Promotional Lanyard Materials

Cotton
For those who prefer cotton or denim, we offer personalized lanyards in those materials. Soft and pliable, these lanyards offer the same long and visible print area for your brand, company, or event’s name to appear as many times as you like.

Elastic Lanyards
If you’re looking for something a bit different, we offer great-looking promotional lanyards in vinyl and neoprene, as well as stretchy elastic lanyards. All of these materials will take your personalized imprint with no compromise in quality or effectiveness.

Reflective
For added eye-catching appeal, we have custom lanyards in reflective versions that will display your message to terrific effect.

Cord lanyards
An attractive alternative to our strap lanyards are promotional cord lanyards which utilize a sliding cinch button that displays your logo right where others can see it.

Promotional Lanyard Clip Types

The variety of material for your personalized lanyards is only part of the equation. Depending on your intended use, whether as ID badge holders or as convenient carriers for keys or cell phones, you’ll want to choose from our wide selection of clips. You can equip your custom lanyard with a bulldog clip, which will clamp securely to badges or badge pockets, a swivel hook, which will hold onto a perforated badge pocket or a key ring without tangling, a metal split ring for keys, or a handy loop for holding cell-phones, pagers, or pens for easy access. Each of our lanyard listings includes the types of clip available, so you can maximize functionality as well as promotional impact.
