Types of Lanyards at Ultimate Promotions

Polyester Lanyards – Dye Sublimated

Dye-sublimated lanyards deliver rich, full-colour printing across the entire strap, making them ideal for detailed artwork, gradients, and multi-tone branding. The print permanently bonds with the polyester, creating smooth, long-lasting, fade-resistant graphics. These custom-made lanyards are popular for conferences, festivals, staff IDs, and promotional merchandise where visual impact matters. 

Choose from multiple attachment options, add breakaways, and upload your artwork for free proofs. Perfect when you want a premium, fully customizable lanyard that stays vibrant through daily use. They’re also a great option if you plan to buy custom lanyards online or order personalized lanyards online for large events.

Polyester Lanyards


Polyester lanyards offer a classic, durable option with clean, single-colour imprinting - ideal for simple, bold, high-visibility branding. Available in 16 stock colours, this style is strong enough for daily office use and versatile enough for trade shows, schools, clubs, and on-ground events.

Choose from ¾-inch or 1-inch widths, depending on how prominent you want your custom lanyards to appear. Add attachments, breakaways or badge holders as needed. These lanyards are cost-effective, reliable, and perfect for bulk orders, especially for organizations planning to buy personalized lanyards in larger quantities.

What Makes Our Custom Lanyards Stand Out

  • Crisp, durable imprints - full colour for sublimated and sharp single-colour printing for standard polyester.
  • Multiple attachments: swivel hooks, lobster claws, key rings, badge clips and safety breakaways.
  • Free artwork proofing (up to 5 rounds), vector-ready support, and easy revisions.
  • Soft, comfortable polyester that’s long-lasting for daily wear.
  • Flexible customization: PMS matching, double-sided prints, upgraded attachments.
  • Our custom lanyards are built to maintain clarity, colour and comfort, no matter how often they’re used.

Benefits of Bulk Ordering Custom Lanyards

Ordering custom lanyards in bulk ensures consistent branding for teams, events, and large organizations. Bulk pricing reduces cost per piece, allowing you to scale affordably while keeping quality uniform. Lanyards are lightweight, easy to distribute, and essential for accreditation at conferences, concerts, sports events and offices. Long-term clients also appreciate how quickly reorders can be produced once artwork is approved. Bulk orders also help standardize access control and staff identification across multiple locations, making it easier for companies that regularly buy custom lanyards or buy personalized lanyards for recurring events.

Available Sizes & Options for Custom Lanyards

Choose between ¾-inch and 1-inch lanyards depending on how bold you want your imprint to appear. Dye-sublimated options allow full-colour coverage, while classic polyester offers strong single-colour imprinting. Attachments include swivel hooks, badge clips, key rings and lobster claws. Add breakaways for safety, or pair your lanyard with badge holders or pouches for complete identification kits.
