Custom Lanyards for Businesses, Schools and Events

Custom lanyards provide a practical way to display identification while keeping your organization’s name, logo or message visible. They are commonly used for conferences, trade shows, schools, offices, healthcare facilities, volunteer programs, sports events and visitor identification.

California Lanyards offers choices for simple one-color logos, detailed full-color artwork and woven designs. Available styles include traditional neck lanyards, safety breakaway lanyards and double-ended lanyards designed for badge holders with two clip holes.

Choose the Right Lanyard Printing Method

Silk-screen printed lanyards are an economical choice for clear text and simple logos using one or two imprint colors. They work well for company names, schools, conferences and promotional events.

Dye-sublimated lanyards are designed for detailed logos, multiple colors, gradients and artwork printed across more of the lanyard surface. This printing method is a strong choice when color accuracy and detailed branding are important.

Woven lanyards have the design woven directly into the material. They provide a textured, professional appearance for organizations looking for a durable alternative to a printed design.

Widths, Colors and Attachment Options

Select from popular lanyard widths including 3/8 inch, 5/8 inch, 3/4 inch and 1 inch. Narrower lanyards offer a lightweight appearance, while wider lanyards provide more room for logos, text and detailed artwork.

Attachment choices vary by product and may include swivel hooks, badge clips, trigger hooks, key rings and other hardware. Double-ended styles use two attachments and are ideal for displaying larger badge holders, credentials and event passes without twisting.

Safety Breakaway Custom Lanyards

A safety breakaway closure allows the lanyard to separate when pulled or caught. Breakaway lanyards are frequently selected for schools, healthcare facilities, manufacturing environments and workplaces where additional safety is preferred. Depending on the product, single-, double- and triple-breakaway configurations may be available.

How to Order Custom Lanyards

Start by choosing a lanyard style, width, printing method and attachment. Product pages display the available colors, quantity options and customization choices for each design. Because pricing, production time and minimum quantities can vary by product, review the individual product specifications before ordering.

If you are unsure which option fits your artwork, badge holder, quantity or deadline, contact California Lanyards for assistance. We can help you compare materials, printing methods, safety features and attachments before you place your order.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which printing method is best for a full-color logo?

Dye sublimation is generally the best option for detailed, multicolor artwork, gradients and photographic designs. Silk-screen printing is usually better suited to simpler logos with a limited number of colors.

What lanyard width should I choose?

A 3/8-inch lanyard has a narrow, lightweight appearance. Wider 5/8-inch, 3/4-inch and 1-inch styles provide progressively more imprint space and can make logos or messages easier to see.

When should I choose a breakaway lanyard?

Consider a breakaway closure when the lanyard will be worn in a school, healthcare, industrial or other safety-conscious environment. The closure is designed to separate when sufficient pulling pressure is applied.

What is a double-ended lanyard?

A double-ended lanyard has two attachment points instead of one. The two clips connect to both holes of a compatible badge holder or credential, helping it remain forward-facing and more stable while being worn.
