In this short video, our lanyard expert Nick, is going to explain in more detail what a lanyard is, what they are also known as, and give you a quick rundown of the three types you can buy from Digital ID.
Browse the 5 different options below, and pick the best material, and finish for your needs.
Our plain and pre-printed range are made from a durable polyester material that offers the user both flexibility and comfort
Made using the same polyester material as our plain lanyards, the only difference here is the ink is screen printed onto the surface of the lanyard, therefore giving a more slightly raised printing effect.
A popular choice for conferences and networking events our dye sub lanyards. They use a smoother and silky type of polyester material, which helps to give a more professional look and feel.
This style of the lanyard is made from a loosely stitched polyester material that is then formed into a tube. Once formed,your logo, slogan or text is then printed directly onto the surface.
Woven lanyards are made using a more durable polyester material and are restricted to 1 colour only. A logo or text can only be printed on one side of the material.
We offer 5 variants of clips that can be added to the bottom of the lanyard. Each clip type has their own benefits, so take a closer look and see what each one has to offer.
These are primarily used to attach a badge reel or key reel to a lanyard. This is our standard clip for personalised lanyards, and is also the lowest price option within the range.
The metal lobster clip is available on every lanyard within our range and is primarily used to securely hold an ID card holder to the lanyard.
Trigger clips are a popular choice for conference, festival and event lanyards as the user can easily remove a pass or card using the clip.
Plastic J-clips have the same functionality as our metal J-clips but are seen as a safer option for the user, especially within the education sector.
Card reels are a popular choice for users who are primarily using a lanyard for access control purposes. The holder, or card can be easily attached to the reel, and will extend meaning better functionality.

“I work for a large educational institution (around 10,000 students) and we use Digital ID all the time for the purchase of our staff, student and visitor lanyards. On a previous order, we'd ran out of student lanyards and the person that ordered was off. I phoned them up and they sent a courier across to us within an hour of so with our replacement stock. So as they are winners on price, service and delivery, I don’t need to go anywhere else.”
“I have been ordering badge accessories from Digital ID for many years and found them to be most helpful. Quality of products, price and service is second to none. Most recently at our Annual Conference we ran out of lanyards and I had to order an emergency batch from Digital ID through my main contact Michael Nash. Life saver! The boxes of lanyards arrived next day before 10am for which I thank Michael and Digital ID.”
Digital ID are our main suppliers for schools lanyards and staff ID cards. Customer sales and service has always been thorough and excellent, as well as their Digital team. Communication is very good. Our sales contact Lawson and designer Marcin are very good. Would definitely recommend.
