CentralCustom prints custom lanyards in your brand colours with your logo, event name or slogan repeated the full length of the strap — supplied with the clip, badge holder or accessory you actually need. Whether you're running a conference, issuing staff ID passes or organising a school trip, we turn your artwork into professional, hard-wearing lanyards without the faff.

Tell us the quantity, colours and attachment you want, and we'll send an artwork proof back within one working day so nothing goes to print until you're happy.

Why choose CentralCustom for your lanyards

  • Full-colour logo printing. We print detailed logos, sponsor names and Pantone-matched brand colours the whole way along the lanyard, not just a single tag.
  • Any quantity. From a small run for a committee or classroom to several thousand for a festival or exhibition — the more you order, the lower the unit price.
  • The right attachments. Choose from metal trigger clips, swivel J-hooks, retractable badge reels and card holders, all fitted for you.
  • Safety as standard. Add a breakaway safety clip so the lanyard releases if it's pulled — essential for schools and busy workplaces.
  • UK-based and quick. Design, decoration and dispatch handled in the UK, with clear lead times you can plan an event around.

Who custom lanyards are for

Branded lanyards are one of the most practical promotional items you can order, because people wear them for a reason rather than tucking them in a drawer. They're a fit for:

  • Conferences & trade shows — delegate passes, exhibitor badges and speaker identification that keep your brand visible all day.
  • Staff ID & access passes — a smart, consistent way to carry ID cards and door fobs across an office, warehouse or site.
  • Schools, colleges & universities — student and visitor passes, trip identification and open-day teams.
  • Festivals, sports days & events — crew, volunteer and VIP lanyards that are easy to spot in a crowd.
  • Charities & fundraising — collector ID and awareness lanyards that double as a talking point.

Frequently asked questions

What's the minimum order for custom lanyards?

We handle both small and large runs. Get in touch with the quantity you have in mind and we'll confirm pricing and the most cost-effective option for you.

Can you match my exact brand colours?

Yes. Send us your logo and Pantone references and we'll colour-match the strap and print so your lanyards line up with the rest of your branding.

What widths and styles do you offer?

Popular widths are 15mm, 20mm and 25mm. Wider straps give logos and multiple sponsor names more room, while narrower ones suit a cleaner, lighter look.

Do the lanyards include a safety breakaway?

They can. We recommend a breakaway safety clip for schools and workplaces so the lanyard releases safely if snagged — just let us know when you order.

What attachments can I have on the end?

Metal trigger clips, swivel J-hooks, plastic J-clips, retractable badge reels and plastic card holders are all available, fitted before dispatch.

How quickly can I get them?

Lead time depends on quantity and finish. Tell us your event date and we'll confirm a turnaround and flag if a faster option is needed.
