Branded Lanyards

At Steel City, we supply branded lanyards every week for events with fixed deadlines, staff onboarding, urgent reorders, and marketing campaigns. When you are ordering lanyards, timing, print quality and consistency matter. This is where we focus our time.

With over 40 years experience, we know where lanyard orders usually fall down: missed delivery dates, unclear artwork approvals, the wrong material for the job, or a product that looks fine on screen but disappointing when it arrives. Everything below reflects how we prevent those issues for you.

Why buy your lanyards from Steel City?

These are the practical reasons organisations work with us again and again.

  • Clear visuals before anything is printed: We provide free visuals and proofs on every order, so you can sign off logo size, colours and layout with confidence before production begins.
  • One dedicated account manager throughout: From artwork and timings to production and delivery, you deal with one person who knows your order. This keeps event schedules, onboarding timelines and reorders running smoothly.
  • Built around UK delivery schedules: We handle deadline-led orders every day. When timing is tight, we will tell you exactly what is achievable and steer you toward the safest option.
  • Consistent reorders, year after year: We retain your approved designs so repeat orders stay consistent - especially important for staff ID lanyards, facilities teams and recurring events.
  • BPMA accredited, established since 1980: Our accreditation and history give procurement teams clarity and reassurance from the outset.

Choose the right lanyard for your situation

We group our range by how you will use the lanyards, not just by material. If one of these situations matches yours, the recommendation is intentional.

Event & Conference Lanyards

For fixed deadlines, large quantities and clear identification

If you are organising an event, conference or exhibition, we recommend full-colour printed polyester lanyards as the safest option.

These lanyards work seamlessly with badge holders, are straightforward to approve, and suit tight event schedules.

Staff & ID Lanyards (Daily Use)

For onboarding, contractors, offices and facilities

If your lanyards will be worn every day, durability and fittings become far more important than a novelty appearance. Here are our best products for that:

We recommend these ranges when consistency, comfort and repeat orders are part of your plan.

Promotional & Campaign Lanyards

For marketing giveaways and brand visibility

If you are running a campaign or promotion, the visual impact and unit cost of a lanyard will usually be your priority. Here are our picks:

These are most often chosen for short-term use and high-visibility campaigns.

Eco-Friendly Lanyards

For sustainability-led procurement and public sector orders

When sustainability is a requirement, it needs to be clear from the outset, here are our best lanyards for this:

These options meet sustainability requirements while maintaining clear, professional branding.

Express & Short-Notice Lanyards

For urgent events and last-minute requirements

If something has been missed or timelines have changed, speed becomes the priority.

This is the safest option when time is tight, with lower minimum quantities and UK production.

FAQs

How quickly can you deliver branded lanyards in the UK?

Delivery times vary by product and quantity, and we confirm this before you place an order.

If your deadline is close or fixed, start with the Express 20mm rPET Sublimated Lanyard. For standard timelines, Event & Conference Lanyards are the safest option.

Will our logo print clearly and match our brand colours?

Yes. We supply free visuals and proofs on every order so you can approve artwork before production.

If colour accuracy is critical, start with dye sublimation or full-colour bootlace lanyards.

Are these suitable for daily staff use?

Not all lanyards are designed for all-day wear.

If this is for employees or contractors, start with Woven, Rope, or Pull Reel Lanyards rather than promotional styles.

Can we reorder the same lanyard later?

Yes. We retain your artwork and specifications so repeat orders stay consistent.

If reordering matters, start with Staff & ID or Event Lanyards.

Do you offer sustainable or recycled lanyards?

Yes - including bamboo, paper and rPET ranges.

If sustainability is a requirement, start with our Eco-Friendly Lanyards rather than standard polyester options.

What are the minimum order quantities?

Minimum quantities vary by product, typically from 25 to 300 units.

If you need flexibility or smaller quantities, start with the Express rPET Sublimated Lanyard. For bulk value, Event and Promotional Lanyards offer better pricing.
