The cost of bulk lanyard orders typically ranges from £0.20 to £1.60 per unit, depending on quantity, material, print method, and any additional accessories.
Pricing is mainly influenced by the order volume (higher quantities reduce unit cost), the chosen material (basic polyester vs premium eco-friendly fabrics), the complexity of the print (single-colour vs full-colour sublimation), and the inclusion of extras such as clips, badge holders or safety breakaways.
Contact Branded Lanyards to get customised bulk pricing for your requirements.
Most suppliers define a bulk lanyard order starting at 100 units, with price breaks available at 250, 500, 1,000 or more. Customisation options often expand with higher quantities, enabling better value for branded designs, wider fabric types, and advanced clip combinations.
For corporate campaigns or school district needs, quantities of 5,000+ can often be fulfilled with enhanced pricing tiers and logistics planning.
Bulk lanyard orders typically include custom logo printing, and most suppliers offer full-colour sublimation or multi-pass screen printing to meet branding guidelines.
You can specify exact colours, Pantone matching, and design positioning. Print areas usually accommodate logos, text, slogans, or sponsor names, and design proofs are provided for approval before production begins.
Standard lead times for bulk orders range from 5 to 10 working days, depending on order size and print complexity. For urgent needs, express production may be available with delivery in as little as 3 days.
Shipping providers often include tracked courier services, ensuring secure delivery for high-volume shipments. Early booking is recommended during peak periods such as conference seasons or back-to-school campaigns.
Bulk orders can be made using a wide range of materials, including polyester, woven nylon, satin, and eco-friendly RPET (recycled plastic). Common widths include 10mm, 15mm, 20mm and 25mm, chosen based on visibility, branding detail, and use-case.
Clips, buckles, safety breaks and badge holders can be selected in various styles depending on the functional needs of the user base.
Bulk lanyard orders are common across a range of industries that rely on large-volume identification and branding needs, including:
Schools and universities – For student IDs, staff badges, departmental colours, and visitor identification.
Corporate offices – For employee access cards, contractor passes, and branded internal use.
Healthcare providers – For medical staff, admin teams, and department-specific identification.
Event management companies – For crew, attendees, security teams, and branded event assets.
Trade show organisers – For exhibitor passes, visitor credentials, and sponsor branding.
Government agencies – For secure access, departmental ID, and public-facing staff visibility.
For bulk lanyard orders, eco-friendly fabrics like bamboo fibre, organic cotton and recycled PET are widely available.
These options help with meeting environmental procurement standards for public sector or green-certified organisations. These lanyards can still be fully branded and are compatible with most attachment hardware.

Bulk lanyard orders can be supplied with optional packaging and distribution solutions to streamline large-scale rollouts. These services may include individual polybagging, grouped departmental packs, pre-attached badge holders, or customised labelling for easier internal distribution.
Some suppliers also offer direct-to-site delivery for multi-location organisations, ensuring each branch, school, or event venue receives the correct quantity without requiring central repacking or manual sorting.
