Custom Printed Lanyards

Your Go-To: 20mm Dye-Sublimation Printed Lanyards

This is our most popular and bestselling lanyard — and for good reason.

Starting with white material, we print full colour on both sides, giving you essentially unlimited creative freedom. Patterns, text, logos, gradients, photographic images — if you can design it, we can print it.

Every lanyard includes a safety breakaway as standard (because safety matters), and we typically fit them with trigger clips. Need retractable card reels instead? Detachable buckles? No problem — just let us know what works for your setup.

Lead time: Around 1 week (plus a couple of days for art working, if needed)

A Few Things to Know

• Repeating patterns work beautifully with this method — they're our favourite type of design for dye-sub lanyards.
• Very small text won't come through clearly, so we'll flag that during artwork review.
• Slight colour bleed can happen, particularly with orange tones next to white. We'll give you a heads-up if we spot potential issues.
• When printing both sides, avoid pairing very light colours on one side with very dark on the other — the white backing can be slightly transparent, and you'll see through.
• Side matching: If you need elements positioned identically on both front and back (beyond what a repeating pattern naturally achieves), that's possible but runs about 30% more due to the precision and time involved. Most clients find repeating patterns solve this beautifully without the extra cost.
