Custom lanyards (personalised lanyards, ID lanyards) are branded neck straps used to hold ID badges, keys, USB drives, or access cards. They are the most widely used identification accessory at conferences, corporate offices, hospitals, schools, and events worldwide. Common widths are 15mm (slim, economical), 20mm (standard, most popular), and 25mm (wide, maximum branding area). Printing methods include screen printing (1–2 colours, most economical), full-colour dye sublimation (photo-quality, unlimited colours, permanently bonded), and woven (logo woven into fabric, premium feel). YesPromotion specialises in full-colour sublimation lanyards produced with Italian Monti Antonio equipment. Our process bonds CMYK dye directly into polyester webbing, creating lanyards with photo-quality printing that will never fade, crack, or peel. Available in 15mm, 20mm, and 25mm widths, with breakaway buckles, swivel hooks, and badge holders. MOQ 100 pieces, worldwide shipping.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a sublimation lanyard?
A: A polyester lanyard where CMYK dye is heat-transferred at 200°C+, bonding directly into the fibres. Unlike screen printing where ink sits on top, sublimation dye becomes part of the fabric — photo-quality, unlimited colours, and the print will never crack, peel, or fade.
Q: What is the minimum order?
A: 100 pieces. No setup fee — each lanyard can feature a different design at no additional cost.
Q: Do your lanyards include breakaway buckles?
A: Yes, included as standard on all orders at no extra charge. They disconnect under pressure, meeting workplace safety requirements.
Q: How long does production take?
A: 2–3 weeks after artwork approval. Australia 7–10 days (sea), 3–5 days (air); US 10–14 days (sea), 4–6 days (air).
Q: Can I print photos or complex graphics?
A: Yes. Sublimation supports full CMYK at up to 1440dpi — photos, gradients, and complex artwork reproduce with sharp detail. A key advantage over screen printing.
