Custom lanyards for events and staff ID

Printed lanyards and badge accessories for events and staff ID, with one account manager handling the order from artwork to delivery anywhere in Canada.

A lanyard is the piece of event merchandise every attendee wears all day, and a staff ID lanyard gets worn every working day. We make custom lanyards for conferences, trade shows, offices and job sites, including the yellow and black DEWALT lanyards for Stanley Black & Decker and WealthONE's red and black ones.

Your account manager helps you pick the right style and clip for how the lanyards will be used, and our in-house Professional Graphic Designers lay out your logo and send a proof before anything is made. Badges, badge reels and the rest of your event merchandise can go on the same order.

If you have a quote from another supplier, send it to us and we will compare it line by line.

Lanyard styles

Flat polyester

The standard conference lanyard: 3/4 inch ribbed polyester with your logo screen printed along the strap.

Full colour

Dye sublimated edge to edge, so gradients, photos, a row of sponsor logos or a QR code all print cleanly.

Tubular

A soft, lightweight knit that stays comfortable through a full day of wear.

Bamboo

Soft bamboo fibre, for teams and events with sustainability goals.

Drape style

Clips to both top corners of the badge, so it stays facing forward instead of flipping around.

Lanyard wallets

Recycled felt wallets with card pockets and a zippered pouch, worn on the neck or the wrist.

Clips, safety and badges

Breakaway clip

A safety release at the back of the neck that comes apart under a sharp pull. We recommend it for staff ID and anywhere a lanyard could catch on something.

Detachable buckle

Unclip the badge or keys without taking the lanyard off.

Hooks and clips

J-hooks, swivel hooks, bulldog clips and lobster claws for badges and keys.

Badge reels

Retractable reels on a 30 inch cord, printed with your logo.

ID and neck tags

Laminated tags printed on both sides, with a slot that fits most lanyards.

Magnetic name badges

Printed in full colour with a strong magnet on the back, so there are no pin holes in shirts and blazers.

Custom lanyards questions

What is the minimum order for custom lanyards?
Most styles start between 100 and 250 pieces. Full-colour dye sublimated lanyards start at 100, and the standard 3/4 inch lanyard with a breakaway clip starts at 250. Badge reels, ID tags and name badges have their own minimums, usually 100 to 250.
How long do custom lanyards take?
Standard production is 10 to 15 working days after you approve the artwork, plus shipping. Some styles have faster options, so tell us your event date when you ask for a quote and we will confirm what is achievable before you commit.
How much do custom lanyards cost?
Printed lanyards run about $2 to $7 each, depending on the style, the decoration and the quantity, and the price per piece drops as the quantity goes up. If you have a quote from another supplier, send it and we will compare it line by line.
Which lanyard is best for a conference?
For most conferences, a 3/4 inch flat polyester lanyard with a breakaway clip. It carries a badge comfortably all day and prints a logo cleanly. If the artwork has gradients, photos or a row of sponsor logos, choose dye sublimation, which prints in full colour from edge to edge.
What is a breakaway lanyard?
A lanyard with a safety clip at the back of the neck that comes apart under a sharp pull, so it releases instead of pulling on the wearer if it catches on something. We recommend it for staff ID, schools, warehouses and job sites.
Can you make the badges and the rest of the event order?
Yes. ID and neck tags, magnetic name badges and badge reels, along with booth displays, giveaways and staff apparel, can all go through your account manager on one order. See the full trade show and events range.
