Choosing the Right Lanyard Style

Lanyards are versatile tools for just about any office, school or workplace. They’re also powerful promotional items. Choosing the right lanyard style is the key to using lanyards successfully for promotional purposes.

Lanyards are available in a range of materials and lettering styles. The right type for your application depends on several factors, including the complexity of your logo or text design, the environment in which the lanyards will be used and of course, your budget. Our experienced staff will help you find the right custom lanyards for your needs. We are your one-stop source for lanyards of all kinds.

Lanyard Styles

Our range of lanyard styles includes multiple material types and printing methods. Start with the basics:

Polyester lanyards are the workhorses of the lanyard world. This is the most popular lanyard material, offering the best balance of performance and price. Polyester gives you excellent wear comfort, outstanding logo or text image quality at an affordable price. They’re suitable for most applications.

Tubular lanyards are the most economical style we offer. They’re made of tube-stitched polyester, similar to a shoelace. Because they’re lightweight and comfortable, this style is particularly popular with sports enthusiasts. If your budget is limited, tubular lanyards offer good performance and outstanding value.

Woven lanyards add a touch of classic elegance to custom lanyards. Rather than screen printing the design onto the lanyard, it’s woven into the material in a process similar to embroidery. Due to the nature of the weaving process, this style is best for simple logos or text. More intricate designs will not be legible in this style.

Nylon lanyards offer the highest quality of any style we offer at Wholesale Lanyards. With a smooth, supple feel and high-sheen surface, they offer outstanding visibility for small text and intricate logos.

Cord lanyards offer outstanding comfort for the wearer and excellent text or logo visibility with a classic look.

Full Color lanyards are the SUVs of the lanyard world. These rugged, high-performance lanyards use a process known as dye sublimation to infuse your design all the way through the material. That means your design will never crack, peel or fade, even under extreme conditions.

Attachments

Lanyards alone aren’t enough, of course. You also need attachments to make them functional. At Wholesale Lanyards, we offer a full range of attachments to create the perfect lanyards for your needs.

Safety Breakaways are a must for just about any application. These are always free. In some environments, lanyards can be potentially lethal without them. For health care workers and others who sometimes face disoriented or potentially violent individuals, the reusable breakaways pull free before they can be choked with the lanyard.

Similarly, in factory applications with running machinery, the breakaways can pop loose before an employee gets dragged into operating equipment. They literally can be a lifesaver. We offer free safety breakaways on every lanyard style we sell.

Bulldog clips are one of our standard free options. These handy clips are ideal for I.D. badges and keycards.

Key rings are another free choice. Keep keys handy and within easy reach.

Swivel J Hooks and thumb triggers are two more free options. They offer maximum flexibility for attaching whatever you need to your custom lanyards.

Carabiners are among several options available at a slight extra cost. You can also order custom attachment options for your specific needs. Contact one of our experienced sales staff for more information.
