Custom Polyester Lanyards for Badges, Phones and Keys
Polyester is the default lanyard fabric for good reason: it takes ink cleanly, holds its shape through months of wear and costs little per strap. Our 22 polyester styles cover more ground than most people expect.
Alongside standard neck straps with J-hooks, bulldog clips and breakaway clasps, you will find textured and smooth sublimated straps, neon and rainbow designs, a crossbody phone lanyard, wrist loops with a tracker pocket, and a Thread Wallets neck lanyard finished with a leather loop. Seven contain recycled fiber, and four are produced in the USA.
From Basic Straps to Carry Lanyards
- Everyday badge straps: J-hook, swivel bulldog and lobster clip versions in 3/4 inch and 1 inch widths for staff IDs and visitor passes.
- Textured and smooth sublimated straps: artwork, gradients and photos are dyed along the full length of the strap.
- Phone and tracker lanyards: an adjustable crossbody strap for phones and recycled PET styles with a pocket for a Bluetooth tracker.
- Pouch lanyards: an ID pouch style and a recycled lanyard with two zip pouches hold cards, cash and earbuds at events.
Three Printing Routes
- Screen print: used on 15 of the styles, with one or more solid colors laid on the strap for clean logos and short text.
- Sublimation: four styles where ink becomes part of the fiber, so the design will not crack or flake as the strap bends.
- Full color: three premium pieces, including the leather loop and pouch lanyards, printed with multicolor art on the fabric.
A common approach is a simple screen printed strap for general staff plus a pouch or leather loop lanyard for speakers, sponsors and VIP guests, so both groups carry your brand in a way that suits their role. Straps open at $1.29, the smallest run is 50 pieces on some styles and 400 on others, and the work wraps up in 10 to 12 days.

Frequently Asked Questions
This collection covers a wide range. A basic polyester lanyard with a J-hook starts near $1.29, most screen printed and sublimated styles sit between about $1.38 and $3.61, and pouch styles cost more. At the top, a recycled lanyard with two zip pouches runs about $12.08. There are 22 options in total.
The method depends on your artwork:
- Screen print (15 styles): solid color logos and text, the most budget-friendly route
- Sublimation (4 styles): the design is dyed into the strap, good for gradients and repeating patterns
- Full color (3 styles): used on pouch and accessory lanyards with detailed artwork
If your logo is one or two flat colors, screen printing usually gives the best value.
Both are sublimated polyester. The textured lanyards, offered in 3/4 inch and 1 inch widths with a swivel hook or a detachable clip and D-ring, have a ribbed feel and cost about $2.96. The smooth finish lanyard with a swivel hook is about $3.61 and has a flatter surface that shows fine detail more crisply.
Several do. Options include a neck lanyard with an AirTag pocket in recycled PET, a recycled crossbody phone lanyard that adjusts in length, a short wrist loop that carries both a card and a tracker, and the Rally ID pouch lanyard. For a premium gift, the Thread Wallets neck lanyard has a leather loop and costs about $11.53.
Minimum quantities run from 50 to 400 pieces, so smaller groups can still order. Production takes about 10 to 12 days after your proof is approved. Expect a one-time setup charge somewhere between $50 and $90, set by the lanyard you choose.
Yes. Seven lanyards here use recycled materials, including the rainbow, neon and reflective styles in recycled PET or polyester. Four are made in the USA, and one is PVC free. If sustainability matters to your audience, filter for recycled options before choosing a clip type.
