Printed & Custom Lanyards

Printed lanyards in Ireland are a straightforward way to put a company name, logo or event identity directly onto the strap. They suit offices, conferences, trade fairs and organisations that want consistent branding across an order.

Custom lanyards are more specification-led. You can choose the material, width, colours and attachment around the way the finished lanyard will be used.

The two options serve different buying needs.

Choose printed lanyards when the main requirement is branded artwork.

Choose custom lanyards when the product itself needs to be specified around a particular application.

Sublimated Lanyards

Sublimated lanyards in Ireland are a strong option for designs where the lanyard itself forms part of the event branding.

Use detailed artwork, colour-heavy graphics, logos or repeating patterns across the lanyard. This suits Irish festivals, arts programmes and large public events where organisers want staff, crew or delegates to look visually consistent.

For example, a festival such as Electric Picnic can use branded lanyards to reinforce the event identity beyond tickets, signage and passes.

Choose sublimation when the design is the priority rather than a simple logo or text treatment.

Plain Lanyards

Plain lanyards in Ireland are useful when you need the identification function without adding custom printing.

They suit schools, offices, healthcare organisations, visitor desks and businesses issuing ID cards or access credentials. Different colours can also help separate departments, teams or visitor groups.

They make particular sense when the badge already contains the branding or information and the lanyard simply needs to hold it securely.

For organisations dealing with an unexpected shortage before an event or staff requirement, stocked plain options can also provide a faster route than producing a fully printed order.

Personalised Lanyards

Personalised lanyards in Ireland are for situations where the information needs to identify the wearer, not just the organisation.

Depending on the selected product and production setup, you can add individual names or other approved variable information to the order.

That can be useful for named staff identification, delegate management and controlled visitor programmes, where handing everyone the same branded lanyard does not provide enough information.

For larger organisations, this approach can also keep identification consistent across multiple teams or locations while giving each wearer an individual lanyard.

Lanyard Materials

For an office in Dublin, a school in Galway, or an exhibition in Cork, the right specification depends on how the ID lanyards are used. And what needs to be displayed and how much branding the design requires.

Nylon lanyards suit straightforward branded identification and are available alongside satin, woven and sublimated options. Screen-printed lanyards work well for bold, simpler logos and text. Woven lanyards build the design into the material using coloured threads.

For detailed artwork, dye-sublimation lanyards allow full-colour designs, including gradients, intricate logos and other graphics. They are a strong choice when the lanyard itself needs to carry a more detailed visual identity.

For organisations looking at lower-impact options, recycled lanyards made with recycled PET are another route. Bamboo options are also available within the wider Irish product range where the required specification suits.

Lanyard type	Best suited to
Screen-printed	Bold logos and simple text
Dye-sublimated	Detailed, full-colour artwork
Woven	Thread-based logos and simpler designs
Recycled	Organisations seeking recycled-material options

Width is another specification requirement. 15mm, 20mm and 25mm lanyards are available for delivery all over Ireland.

Lanyard Attachments & Badge Holders

Choose the attachment around what the lanyard needs to carry.

• Lanyard clips can connect directly to ID cards and other credentials.
• Buckles provide another attachment option for cards, electronic fobs and similar items.
• Pull reels can be useful where the attached card needs to be extended without removing the lanyard.
• Safety breakaways are also available for applicable lanyards. They allow the strap to release if it becomes caught or pulled.

You can also pair lanyards with badge holders for visible ID cards and passes.

Printed Name Badges

Printed name badges in Ireland work well alongside lanyards when attendees need their identity visible without relying on the lanyard design alone.

They can suit conferences, exhibitions, trade events and professional gatherings where delegates may need to display their name, organisation or role.

For a large exhibition at the RDS, a business conference in Cork or a regional trade event elsewhere in Ireland, name badges can make registration and identification simpler.

Choose printed name badges when each attendee needs unique information rather than the same details repeated across the whole lanyard order.

Lanyards for Events, Conferences & Workplaces

Event lanyards in Ireland are used for more than conferences. They can identify staff, delegates, exhibitors, volunteers and visitors across busy environments.

At a large public event, a branded lanyard can distinguish crew from attendees without relying on a separate uniform. For trade fairs, exhibition lanyards can carry delegate badges while keeping sponsor or organiser branding visible.

They also have a practical role outside events. ID lanyards can hold employee cards, access fobs or visitor passes in offices, schools, healthcare settings and other Irish organisations.
