Eco rPET Lanyards with Full-Colour Printing

Recycled Polyester Material

Our custom lanyards are manufactured using recycled polyester, commonly known as rPET. The fabric is made using recycled PET plastic, reducing the need to use entirely virgin polyester for the product.

rPET provides the durability and comfortable feel expected from a professional lanyard while helping organisations make a more environmentally considered choice for staff identification, conferences and promotional campaigns.

The material has an attractive shine finish that complements detailed logos, bright colours and full-width designs.

Dye-Sublimation Printing

Dye-sublimation printing infuses the design into the rPET fabric rather than applying a separate printed layer to the surface. This creates vibrant branding that does not crack or peel in the way some surface-applied prints can.

Full-colour dye-sublimation is suitable for:

• Multicoloured company logos
• Detailed event branding
• Sponsor logos
• Colour gradients
• Repeated logos and messages
• Different artwork on each side
• Campaign colours and patterns

25mm Width for Clear Branding

Each lanyard measures 25mm wide by 450mm long. The 25mm width provides a prominent area for logos, lettering and detailed designs while remaining comfortable for regular workplace and event use.

Custom Lanyard Specifications

Single or Double-Sided Lanyard Printing

Choose single-sided printing when the design only needs to appear on the main visible face of the lanyard. This may suit simple logos, staff identification or straightforward event branding.

Double-sided printing places artwork on both sides of the fabric, helping the branding remain visible if the lanyard twists during use. The two sides can use the same repeated design or different artwork, depending on your requirements.

Double-sided designs can be useful when you want to combine:

• A company logo on one side with a website address on the other
• Event branding with sponsor logos
• A school or university identity with a department name
• A charity logo with a campaign message
• Staff identification branding with safety information

Print Direct NI supplies conference and exhibition lanyards for events in Belfast, Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick, Kilkenny, Waterford and venues throughout Ireland.

Charities and Community Organisations

Charities, sports clubs, community groups and voluntary organisations can use custom lanyards to identify staff and volunteers during fundraising campaigns, public events and community activities.

Full-colour printing allows campaign artwork and sponsor logos to be incorporated into the design.

Healthcare and Care Services

Hospitals, clinics, GP practices, pharmacies, care homes and support organisations use lanyards to display staff and visitor identification clearly.

Attachments and cardholders can be selected according to the organisation’s identification requirements. Individual workplaces should ensure that their chosen lanyard and attachment arrangement complies with their own safety and infection-control procedures.

Retail, Hospitality and Tourism

Shops, hotels, restaurants, visitor attractions, leisure centres and tourism businesses use branded lanyards for professional staff identification.

They are suitable for hospitality and tourism organisations in Belfast, Portrush, Derry/Londonderry, Dublin, Cork, Galway, Killarney, Kilkenny, Waterford, Sligo and other visitor destinations across Ireland.

Custom Lanyards Compared with Other ID Options

Lanyards or Badge Clips?

Badge clips provide a compact way to attach identification directly to clothing. Lanyards offer greater visibility and provide a much larger area for printed branding.

A neck-worn lanyard may also be easier to transfer between garments, making it practical for visitors, event attendees and employees who do not want a clip attached to their clothing.

Lanyards or Retractable Badge Reels?

Retractable badge reels can be useful when an access card must regularly be presented to a reader. Custom lanyards provide more space for logos, event details and sponsor branding.

The best choice depends on how the card will be used and the security requirements of the organisation.

Lanyards or Event Wristbands?

Event wristbands are useful for temporary admission and visual access control. Lanyards can hold a larger printed pass containing the attendee’s name, organisation, photograph, access level or event schedule.

Lanyards may be more suitable for conferences, exhibitions and multi-day events where detailed identification is required. Print Direct NI also supplies printed Tyvek wristbands for temporary event access.
