Branded lanyards and keychains keep your brand visible at entrances, conferences, in production areas and in the office. Neck lanyards comfortably carry a badge, name tag or keys, while also helping people quickly identify organisers, employees or guests. You can match the lanyard to your company colours and add your logo, slogan or full-coverage graphics. If you are handling attendee identification, also see badge holders. You can find branding methods and other marking options clearly listed on the printing methods page.
More about lanyards and keychainsHide extended text
You only notice a quality lanyard after wearing it for several hours. It should not scratch, twist or pull on your neck, even when carrying a badge or a bunch of keys. For a one-off event, a lighter version with bold branding is enough; for employees and regular use, a sturdier material, safety breakaway and the right end fitting are worth it depending on what will hang from the cord. Branded keychains then easily complete the whole identification set.
Material, width and comfort
Narrower lanyards are light and cost-effective for training sessions, trade fairs or short-term events. A wider strap offers more space for your logo, sits better for all-day wear and looks more premium for employees, hostesses or the organising team.
Ends, clips and holders
A carabiner, ring, buckle and detachable part should all match whether the lanyard will carry a badge holder, plastic card or keys. A safety breakaway is practical in schools, workplaces, warehouses and events where the cord could get caught.
Branding that stands out
The logo can repeat along the full length, appear subtly on one side or form part of a full-colour design. For events, colour-coding visitors, exhibitors, staff and VIP guests works well because it helps people orient themselves at a glance.
Keychains as a set or on their own
Branded keychains are ideal for access cards, reception keys, service kits and training attendee packs. If you want a wider choice of shapes, materials and styles, see also keychains and charms.
