Student Lanyards

Student lanyards are a simple and effective way to help keep schools, colleges, or universities safe, as they make it easy to spot anyone who shouldn’t be on site.

They come in either Black or Purple and are an affordable way to improve your students’ security.

Our lanyards are great for the security of the pupils because they display “STUDENT” across both sides of the lanyard material.

Alongside the security benefits of our pre-printed lanyards, identifying students will be more streamlined while creating a sense of community.

Providing each student with a new lanyard not only promotes a sense of belonging but also encourages greater engagement within the school or college community. Here’s what you can expect from our lanyards:

• Our lanyards come with two types of clips: a metal lobster clip or a plastic J clip. They are 15 mm wide, about 90 cm long, with a traditional 45 cm hanging drop.

• Our school lanyards are also eco-friendly, making them a good choice for those who want to make environmentally responsible decisions. 

If you need a photo ID card to go with the lanyard, we can handle the printing for you with our ID card printing service.

FAQs

Are student lanyards a requirement in schools or universities?

While policies vary, many of the schools, colleges, and universities we work with choose to make student lanyards compulsory. They’re an effective way to ensure everyone on site is easily identifiable, which supports safeguarding and site security.

Are your student lanyards safe to wear?

Yes, all of our student lanyards come with a safety breakaway as standard. This feature ensures the lanyard will release quickly if pulled or caught, making it safe for use in busy school environments.

Can students use the same lanyard throughout the year?

Definitely. Our lanyards are designed to be durable enough to last the entire academic year, and beyond. Of course, some institutions prefer to refresh their lanyards each year to reflect new designs or intake.

Do your lanyards come with card holders?

Yes, we offer a range of plastic card holders that can be supplied alongside your lanyards. You can choose from single-sided or double-sided holders, available in a wide choice of colours to match your lanyard or branding.

What happens if a student loses their lanyard?

We recommend schools and colleges keep a small stock of spare lanyards and card holders on hand. If you need quick replacements, our team can supply additional lanyards at short notice, often with next-day delivery available.
