Promotional lanyards can be far more than just ID holders
When most people think of lanyards, they picture staff ID badges. But promotional lanyards can do far more than that. They’re practical, branded items that work across a wide range of environments, making them one of the most reliable and cost-effective promotional tools available.
At Promo Trade, we support resellers only. As a trade only supplier, we work exclusively with distributors to deliver high-quality promotional lanyards and branded products to their customers. This means your clients receive excellent products and service, while you remain fully in control of the customer relationship.
We also offer something increasingly rare in the promotional products industry: UK-based production. Many of our lanyards are printed in our UK factory, giving your customers genuine advantages such as faster turnaround times and consistent, dependable quality. Our Express range is now available on standard lead times starting from as little as 3 working days, thanks to UK production that avoids overseas shipping delays.
Here are some of the many ways our promotional lanyards can be used.
ID & access passes
The classic use still matters. Offices, schools, warehouses and customer-facing workplaces rely on lanyards to hold staff ID, access cards and key fobs. They keep essential items visible, secure and easy to reach.
Event and festival lanyards
Lanyards are a staple at conferences, exhibitions, festivals and large events. They help organisers identify attendees, staff, VIPs or press at a glance. With the right design, they also become part of the event’s identity and a memorable keepsake. With UK printing, resellers can confidently offer clients quick turnaround for time-sensitive events.
Giveaways and merchandise
Branded lanyards make excellent promotional giveaways. They’re affordable, useful and long-lasting, so your client’s brand stays visible long after the event is over. Whether handed out at trade shows or included in welcome packs, lanyards deliver daily exposure at low cost. With UK production available, distributors can also offer shorter lead times when their customers need stock quickly.
Functional everyday uses
Lanyards aren’t limited to corporate settings. They can be used to carry:
- Keys
- Travel cards
- USB drives
- Whistles for coaches and teachers
- Mobile phone holders
- Safety items such as panic alarms
This makes them valuable for staff, students, volunteers, hobby groups and anyone who needs essentials close at hand.
Lanyards work so well
Their strength lies in their simplicity. A small, inexpensive product becomes a practical tool while delivering continuous brand visibility. Whether it’s improving workplace security or boosting brand recall, lanyards deserve a place in every promotional product range.
As a trade only supplier with UK production capabilities, Promo Trade gives resellers the confidence to offer quick lead times, dependable quality and fully customisable print options.
