Everything You Need to Know About Custom Lanyards

Custom lanyards remain one of the most popular promotional products in Australia, and for good reason.

They're practical, affordable and used every day by businesses, schools, universities, government departments, sporting clubs and event organisers. Whether they're holding staff identification cards, conference passes, security credentials or membership cards, custom lanyards provide continuous brand exposure while serving an important purpose.

At Campbell ID, we've been supplying custom branded lanyards across Australia for more than 18 years. We offer some of the lowest prices in Australia, free artwork mock-ups, low minimum order quantities and fast production times backed by exceptional customer service.

Choosing the Right Lanyard Width

One of the first decisions you'll need to make is selecting the width of your lanyard.

We offer four popular sizes, allowing you to balance branding space, comfort and budget.

10mm Lanyards

A 10mm lanyard is ideal when you want a lightweight, economical solution. They're commonly used for visitor passes, student identification cards and large promotional events where cost is an important consideration.

15mm Lanyards

The 15mm width offers a little more branding space while remaining lightweight and comfortable to wear. It's an excellent all-round choice for businesses, schools and conferences.

20mm Lanyards

Our most popular option.

A 20mm lanyard provides excellent visibility for logos, sponsor branding and promotional messages while remaining comfortable enough for everyday use. It's suitable for almost every application and is often the preferred choice for corporate clients.

25mm Lanyards

If maximum brand visibility is your priority, a 25mm lanyard provides the largest printable area.

These are particularly popular for major conferences, exhibitions, sporting events and organisations wanting bold, highly visible branding.

A Wide Range of Materials

Today's custom lanyards are available in far more than standard polyester.

We supply traditional polyester lanyards, environmentally friendly RPET lanyards manufactured from recycled plastic bottles, sustainable bamboo fibre lanyards and durable silicone lanyards designed for specialised applications.

Each material offers its own advantages depending on your branding objectives, sustainability goals and budget.

If you're unsure which option is best, our team can recommend the most suitable material based on how your lanyards will be used.

Perfect for Businesses, Conferences and Events

Custom lanyards are one of the most versatile promotional products available.

They are used daily by businesses for employee identification, by schools and universities for student ID cards, by government departments for secure building access and by conference organisers to identify delegates, exhibitors, speakers and VIP guests.

Lanyards are also popular at sporting events, festivals, trade shows, fundraising events, concerts, community activations and volunteer programs.

Because they are worn throughout the day, they provide constant visibility for your brand while remaining genuinely useful.

Fast Custom Production

Our factory-direct production allows most custom lanyard orders to be completed within just two to three weeks from artwork approval and payment.

This makes them ideal for conferences, exhibitions, product launches, sporting events and last-minute promotional campaigns.
