Custom printed lanyards are branded polyester, silicone or woven neck straps used to hold ID badges, keys and access cards at conferences, schools, tradeshows and workplaces. Teams across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth use branded lanyards at registration desks, staff inductions and corporate events where hands-free ID display matters. They keep your logo moving through a crowd all day, making them one of the most cost-effective giveaways in any event kit.

The range covers a wide variety of styles to suit every brief and budget. Full Colour Printed Lanyards use sublimation to deliver vibrant, photo-quality artwork across the full width of the strap. Jacquard Lanyards weave the branding directly into the fabric for a premium, long-lasting finish. Woven Lanyards stitch your logo into a fabric strip in up to 2 PMS colours for a structured, professional look. Silicone Lanyards offer a modern, tactile alternative with a spring-loaded metal clip. Colour Max Lanyards are available in 16mm and 20mm widths with full-colour branding on both sides at no extra charge. Duplex Lanyards use two-tone polyester for a bold, dual-colour effect. Reflector Lanyards add a hi-vis strip for night-shift and outdoor safety use. Glow in the Dark Lanyards suit night events and after-dark functions. Soft Touch Lanyards carry silicone ink printing for a textured, vibrant finish. Shoe Laces and Recycled Shoe Laces round out the range for branded footwear programs.

Most lanyards are branded using sublimation for full-colour designs or woven and screen print methods for spot-colour logos. Widths run from 12mm through to 20mm to suit different badge and clip styles.

How to Choose Custom Lanyards That Match Your Brief and Budget
Lanyards for Conferences, Tradeshows and Corporate Events
Conferences and tradeshows are the single biggest driver of lanyard orders in Australia, and the style you choose shapes how your brand reads in a room full of delegates. Event coordinators handing out badge packs at registration desks need a lanyard that looks polished, holds an ID card securely and keeps the logo legible across a crowded exhibition floor all day.

Full Colour Printed Lanyards using sublimation work well here, delivering a photo-quality repeat pattern or gradient logo across the full strap width. The Colour Max Lanyard in 20mm is popular with event teams working to a tighter budget, offering full-colour branding on both sides at no extra charge. For premium conferences where branded credentials matter, Jacquard Lanyards weave the logo directly into the fabric in 1 colour, giving a structured, boardroom-ready finish that holds up through a multi-day event.

Most sublimation and Colour Max styles run on standard production schedules, so flag your event date early to confirm the timeline fits. Sublimation captures full-colour designs without adding to per-unit cost, making it the go-to method for event runs where artwork is complex.

Full Colour Printed and Colour Max styles are the strongest fit for conference and tradeshow packs. Jacquard is the better call when the event leans formal or the client expects a premium finish.
Best Lanyards for Schools, Universities and Government Organisations
Schools, universities and government departments are consistent lanyard buyers because they need large quantities for staff, students and visitors across multiple sites and programs. A school principal ordering lanyards for a 1,200-student orientation week needs a durable, affordable option that takes a bold logo in school colours. A council events team running a community open day needs something that can be handed to volunteers and collected at the end of the day.

Woven Lanyards appeal to education and government buyers who want a structured, professional finish in up to 2 PMS colours. They sit flat, stay consistent across large print runs and are a strong fit for staff ID programs where the lanyard is worn daily. Colour Max Lanyards in 16mm or 20mm handle high-volume school and council orders well, with full-colour branding on both sides keeping artwork options open for multi-department use. Recycled Shoe Laces suit sustainability-focused programs at universities and councils where eco credentials matter to stakeholders.

Woven methods stitch the artwork into the strap itself, so the branding does not crack or fade through repeated use, which matters for lanyards worn across a full academic year or a multi-day community program.

For large-volume orders across education and government, Colour Max and Woven styles offer the best balance of durability, colour accuracy and cost per unit.
Branded Lanyards for Safety, Night Events and Specialty Applications
Not every lanyard order is a standard conference pack, and specialty applications call for styles built around function first. Construction site managers, night-shift warehouse supervisors and event crews working after dark need lanyards that do more than carry a logo. Safety and after-dark visibility are the brief.

Reflector Lanyards use a 20mm polyester base with a reflective strip on the front, making them a practical fit for outdoor crews, security teams and anyone wearing the lanyard in low-light conditions. A logistics company outfitting its night-shift distribution team or a construction firm running a safety induction program will find the Reflector the most defensible choice when hi-vis standards apply. Glow in the Dark Lanyards are a strong fit for night events, beach parties and festivals where the novelty factor doubles as a wayfinding tool. Duplex Lanyards in a two-tone polyester shell suit brand teams wanting a bold dual-colour effect without the cost of a woven or jacquard finish. Soft Touch Lanyards carry vibrant silicone ink that gives a tactile, raised feel, appealing to creative agencies and tech firms running product launch events.

For safety-driven briefs, go Reflector. For night activations, Glow in the Dark. For standout colour at a launch, Duplex or Soft Touch are the right call. Call 1300 85 50 35 to talk through the right style for your brief and get a free branded proof before production begins.
FAQs About custom printed lanyards
What is the difference between sublimation printed and woven lanyards for corporate events
Sublimation lanyards use heat to transfer full-colour ink into a polyester strap, making them ideal when artwork includes gradients, photographs or a complex repeat pattern across the full width. Woven lanyards stitch the design directly into the fabric in up to 2 PMS colours, giving a structured finish that holds its look through daily wear over months. For a multi-day conference where visual impact matters, sublimation wins on colour range. For a staff ID program worn year-round, woven holds up better because the branding is in the fabric, not on the surface.
Which lanyard style is best for schools and universities on a tight budget
The Colour Max Lanyard in 16mm or 20mm is consistently the strongest fit for education buyers working to a tight per-unit budget because it includes full-colour branding on both sides at no extra charge. This means school logos with multiple colours, crests or gradients print cleanly without additional artwork fees. The 20mm width gives a larger print area for detailed crests or dual-language artwork. For sustainability-focused universities and councils, the Recycled Shoe Lace option uses 50% recycled material, which suits programs where eco credentials form part of the brief.
What is the difference between a Jacquard lanyard and a Woven lanyard
Both Jacquard and Woven lanyards embed the branding into the fabric rather than printing on the surface, but they use different construction methods. A Jacquard lanyard weaves the logo into the full strap in 1 colour as part of the loom process, giving a seamless, premium feel with no visible seam. A Woven lanyard stitches the artwork into a separate fabric strip in up to 2 PMS colours, which is then sewn onto a polyester backing. Woven allows a second accent colour, while Jacquard delivers a cleaner integrated look for single-colour executive logos.
Are reflector lanyards suitable for construction sites and safety compliance programs
Reflector lanyards are designed specifically for low-light and outdoor environments, making them a practical fit for construction inductions, security crews and night-shift warehouse teams. The 20mm polyester base carries a reflective strip on the front that catches light in dim conditions, helping identify personnel at a glance. They include a metal clip and safety breakaway clip, which meets standard workplace safety requirements. For full hi-vis compliance on regulated sites, check with your WHS officer whether a lanyard alone meets the visibility standard or whether additional hi-vis apparel is required.
How are logos printed on custom lanyards
The branding method depends on the lanyard style chosen. Sublimation is used on polyester lanyards like the Full Colour Printed and Colour Max styles, pressing ink into the fabric fibres for a vibrant, edge-to-edge finish that does not sit on the surface. Silicone lanyards use silicone digital printing for a raised, tactile logo. Woven and Jacquard styles embed the branding at the thread level during manufacturing. Soft Touch lanyards apply silicone ink in a raised layer over the polyester strap. Each method suits different colour counts and finish preferences.
Can I order custom lanyards with different coloured styles for different departments
Yes, most lanyard styles can be ordered in multiple colourways within the same order, which is useful for distinguishing between staff, volunteers, VIPs and contractors at a conference or on a large workplace site. The Colour Max range is the most flexible option for this, as the base strap is available in a broad colour palette and full-colour branding is included on both sides. Duplex lanyards also offer a two-tone finish that can be varied by department. Speak to the team about minimum quantities per colourway before finalising your order.
How long does production take for custom printed lanyards
Production times vary depending on the lanyard style selected. Polyester stock lanyards with a local inventory are the quickest to turn around, typically within a couple of weeks of artwork approval. Sublimation printed, Colour Max and reflector styles run on standard production schedules. Woven, Jacquard, 3D Logo and Silicone lanyards involve more complex manufacturing and require approximately 25 working days from artwork sign-off. Flag your event date when requesting a quote so the team can confirm whether the standard schedule works or whether an express option is needed.
What is the difference between a Glow in the Dark lanyard and a standard printed lanyard for night events
A Glow in the Dark lanyard uses a 20mm polyester base printed with glow-in-the-dark white ink that absorbs light and emits it in low-light conditions, making it a functional novelty for night events, beach parties and after-dark activations. A standard sublimation or Colour Max lanyard uses full-colour ink that reads clearly under normal lighting but offers no visibility in the dark. For a festival, night run or evening product launch where the lanyard doubles as a wayfinding or novelty element, the glow version adds a practical angle. For a standard daytime conference, a Colour Max or sublimation style is the better value choice.

Free Artwork Mockup Before Production
Every lanyard order starts with a free digital artwork mockup so you can see exactly how your logo, colours and layout will look before a single unit goes into production. Our in-house design team builds the proof to match your supplied artwork, showing the correct PMS colours, print placement and strap width. If anything needs adjusting, we revise at no charge until the proof is right. This step is especially important for woven and jacquard styles where colour matching is done at thread level, and for sublimation runs where the full repeat pattern needs to sit correctly across the strap. You approve the proof, then we proceed. No surprises at delivery.
Competitive Pricing and Expert Guidance
Our Price Beat Promise means if you find a lower price on a comparable lanyard from another Australian supplier, we will match or beat it. Indent production on larger lanyard runs can deliver significant savings per unit compared to local stock pricing, and our team will tell you honestly when the volume makes an indent order worth the lead time. Most stock lanyard styles are ready within about two weeks once artwork is approved, with express options available for urgent event briefs.
