Choose your lanyard

Breakaway lanyards: most of the pre-printed role lanyards are 15mm breakaway styles. NHS lanyards come with single, double or triple health and safety breakaways.

Lanyard options in detail

Pre-printed role lanyards are the largest group: 15mm breakaway styles in several colours, marked Staff, Visitor, Contractor, Student, Sixth Form, Volunteer, First Aid, Police and VIP, in packs of 100. Black plastic clip as standard, with metal clip and metal lobster clip versions for heavier use.

NHS lines include #hellomynameis lanyards for NHS Scotland, NHS Wales and Health and Social Care, plus NHS Blue with single, double or triple health and safety breakaways.

Printed lanyard widths are 10mm, 15mm, 20mm and 25mm. Screen printing gives one colour in 14 to 21 days. Dye sublimation handles full-colour logos and artwork in the same widths, taking 15 to 20 working days or 10 to 12 days on the express option.

Eco choices are recycled RPET and bamboo fibre, plus antimicrobial and hi-viz reflective finishes. Plain lanyards come in packs of 25: 20mm plain (06-1006), metallic, hi-viz and rainbow Pride, with plastic dog clip, metal dog clip or crocodile clip fittings.

Card holder sets (packs of 10) take a CR80 credit-card-sized card, 85.6 x 54mm. Open-ended lanyards with a metal trigger clip (329-4200) come in packs of 100. Badge reel styles come as a 15mm RPET lanyard with badge reel (packs of 50) or 16mm with reel (packs of 25).

10mm Polyester Lanyards with Crocodile Clip (Pack of 25) This 10mm lanyard is made from tubular polyester, which is rounder and softer against the neck than a flat lanyard and comfortable for all-day wear. The metal crocodile clip opens with a simple spring action to grip a card or badge holder directly. There's no threading or fiddly attachment needed, just clip it on. A health and safety breakaway is fitted as standard, so if it ever gets caught or pulled, it releases cleanly rather than pulling on whoever's wearing it. A crocodile clip is a lighter-duty fitting than a metal trigger or lobster clip, so it's better suited to thin cards, paper passes, and simple badge holders but also works well for thicker technology cards that get swiped repeatedly through the day. So, no matter what you're issuing, whether it's a visitor pass, access control cards or a straightforward staff badge, this keeps them in place and on display while being comfortable for the wearer all day. Key Features: Made from high-quality tubular polyester 10mm wide lanyard Sold in packs of 25 Available Colours and Pantone Reference: Black White Royal Blue (294C) Yellow (115C) Red (200C) Green (348C) Navy Blue (289C)..

10mm Screen Printed Colour Lanyards -1 Colour Print - 14-21 day delivery  Lanyard colour can be Pantone matched to your exact colour requirements Single or double-sided print Durable Polyester lanyard Health and safety breakaway as standard – increased safety for the wearer and peace of mind for you! Metal dog clip fitting as standard – lightweight and easy to use The minimum order quantity is just 100 lanyards No maximum order quantity Cheaper, the more you order About 10mm Screen Printed Colour Lanyards Screen-printed lanyards are the most cost-effective option for personalised lanyards. Our lanyards are all Pantone matched to your exact base colour requirements.  Screen printing then allows for a one, two, three or full-colour print to be applied to the lanyard. Our polyester lanyards are also extremely hard-wearing, making them suitable for prolonged wear and resistant to wear and tear. Our lanyards come with a metal dog clip (also referred to as a J clip) as standard.  If you would like another type of fitting, please select this option from the drop-down list. Health & Safety First! All of our lanyards come with a single health and safety breakaway as standard.  Whilst currently not compulsory, we believe H&S breakaways are essential for protecting the wearer in case the lanyard gets caught or trapped.  In high-risk environments, such as health care and manufacturing, we recommend opting for additional breakaways, meaning the lanyard will break in multiple places if it’s pulled or caught in machinery.  You can select more breakaways or indeed remove them altogether) by selecting the relevant option in the dropdown box. Bulk Order Lanyards Our lanyards are cheaper the more you order!  Simply enter the quantity required in the order quantity box, and the price will automatically be recalculated in your cart. How To Order Personalised Lanyards As soon as we receive your order, a member of our team will be in contact with you to discuss the design and your specific requirements.  Alternatively, you can specify your artwork requirements in the notes field of the checkout process and email your artwork to us at sales@plastic-id.com. You will be sent a colour and artwork proof for sign-off before they are sent to print to ensure that the lanyards will be exactly to your specification. Our standard delivery is between 14-21 working days.  An express service is not available on screen printed lanyards, so if you need personalised lanyards quickly, please look at our Dye Sublimation lanyards, which can be produced in as little as 3 working days...

15mm Blue Employee Pre-Printed Breakaway Lanyard with Plastic Clip (Pack of 100) This blue lanyard is pre-printed with "EMPLOYEE" in white text, so anyone in your building can tell who works there at a glance. A plastic clip holds an ID card holder or ID badge securely, and a health and safety breakaway is fitted as standard. If it ever gets caught or pulled, it releases safely, then clips straight back together. Blue is a natural fit for staff lanyards because it represents calm, trust and reliability, so in banks, offices and professional services, these lanyards not only separate your staff from your visitors but also make your staff look more trustworthy. The word "EMPLOYEE" also reads more formally than "STAFF," which suits organisations that need to portray a formal environment. Order a pack of 100 to cover a whole team in one go, and ensure your staff ID complements your organisation perfectly...

If it ever gets caught or pulled, it releases safely, then clips straight back together.Blue works well here for the same reason it's such a common choice across offices, schools, and healthcare settings: it represents calm, trust, and reliability, so a visitor wearing it feels welcomed rather than singled out, while your team can still identify them clearly. The metal clip adds a bit more durability than plastic, which is useful as these lanyards will go through a lot of hands during their lifetime.Order a pack of 25 to keep your reception well stocked, and give every visitor a professional first impression from the moment they walk in. Don't forget to order ID card holders to hold your visitor badges while you're here. ..

About our Contractor LanyardsThis lanyard is pre-printed with "CONTRACTOR" and comes in six colours: yellow, green, red, orange, grey, or blue, with a plastic clip for attaching ID cards, access badges, or a set of keys. A health and safety breakaway is fitted as standard, releasing safely if it's ever caught or pulled, then clipping straight back together.Choosing the Right Colour for Your ContractorsYellow and orange both carry the international association with caution and hazard warnings, the same colours used for hazard tape and high-visibility workwear, which makes them a natural fit for construction sites, warehouses, and manufacturing environments where contractors need to stand out at a glance. Red works similarly well on busy industrial floors where quick visual identification matters most.Grey and blue suit contractors working in office or corporate settings, IT support, maintenance, or cleaning contractors, for example, where a hi-vis colour would look out of place against a smart reception area. Green offers a calmer, more neutral alternative if you're already using the brighter colours elsewhere in your colour-coding system and need one more that doesn't compete for attention. We also stock ID card holders and blank ID cards to complete your contractor identification setup, whichever colour you choose...

This one's different. A gold or silver lanyard adds a touch of polish to an awards ceremony, a VIP area, a product launch or any event where presentation matters as much as identification. Bronze offers the same premium finish with a warmer, more understated tone if gold feels too bold for the occasion.Whichever you choose, you'll be adding a sign of quality to your event without the longer lead times of custom printed lanyards. Not sure which colour you need for your event? Get in touch with our team, and we'll help you choose the perfect design.

Open Ended Lanyards with Metal Trigger Clip (Pack of 100)Pack size: 100 lanyardsLength: 95cm end to endWidth: 20mmThese lanyards are designed for conferences, trade shows, and any event where a pass has to be checked repeatedly and visibly, security and staff can read it at a glance without asking someone to turn their badge round. Most lanyards form a closed loop, which means an ID badge holder can spin round and end up facing backwards without anyone noticing. This one doesn't. Being open-ended, a straight strap with a metal trigger clip at each end rather than a joined loop, it keeps a badge holder hanging flat and facing forward at all times, so an exhibitor badge or attendee pass stays readable throughout the day rather than needing constant straightening...

About our Volunteer Lanyards  A volunteer at a formal event, like a charity gala, a corporate fundraising day or a professional conference, needs to look the part alongside paying guests and staff, not stand out as a separate category of person. This lanyard does that: "VOLUNTEER" is pre-printed clearly in white on black, with a plastic clip for attaching a card holder or ID badge and a health and safety breakaway fitted as standard. If it ever gets caught or pulled, it releases safely, then clips straight back together. The black volunteer lanyard with white print works well for any event where the volunteers need to look smart and professional rather than playful, and where the dress code and general atmosphere lean formal.  The dark green lanyard still looks nice and smart, but works well for events outside in nature, or to colour code volunteers differently from guests. It sits comfortably alongside black-tie attire, corporate branding, and polished venue signage, identifying a volunteer without making them look like they've been handed something left over from a school fete. We also stock ID card holders and badge reels to complete your volunteer identification setup in one order...
