Get in touch

At Branded Lanyards, we develop practical identification solutions tailored for local authorities, public service departments, housing teams, and community-facing staff and across the UK. Our council lanyards support clear role visibility, secure access management, and consistent branding across multiple departments and service teams.

A wide range of materials, colours, print finishes, and attachments are available, allowing you to create council lanyards that reflect your authority’s identity while meeting day-to-day operational requirements.

What Style and Width Options Can Be Chosen for Council Lanyards?

Council lanyards are available in widths such as 10mm, 15mm, 20mm, and 25mm, giving flexibility for simple departmental text or larger full-colour branding.

Flat polyester and tubular cotton options are commonly used for council offices, while satin and woven styles suit premium, long-term staff identification. Safety features, badge holders, and dual-clip fittings can be added depending on departmental needs.

How Much Do Council Lanyards Cost?

The cost of council lanyards ranges from £0.30 to £2.00 per unit, depending on the material selected, printing method, order size, and added accessories.

Costs are shaped by whether the design uses screen printing or dye sublimation, the choice of safety breakaways or premium clips, and optional add-ons such as badge holders or dual-clip fittings.

What Printing and Attachment Options Are Included With Council Lanyards?

Council lanyards are often supplied with full-colour printing and a selection of attachments such as swivel hooks, lobster clasps, split rings, and safety breakaways.

Print methods, including screen printing, heat transfer, and dye sublimation, help ensure accurate reproduction of council logos, departmental titles, and role identifiers. Bundled attachments and card holders can also be included for streamlined staff distribution.

What Material Options Are Available for Council Lanyards?

Council lanyards can be produced using a range of materials, including:

  • Polyester – Strong, cost-effective, and suitable for clear printed branding.

  • Nylon – Smooth and polished for detailed council logos.

  • Tubular Cotton – Comfortable for extended daily wear.

  • Satin – Soft and ideal for bright dye-sublimated artwork.

  • Recycled PET – Made from recycled plastics, supporting sustainability goals.

  • Bamboo Fibre – Biodegradable and suitable for eco-minded authorities.

  • Woven Lanyards – Highly durable with stitched designs for long-lasting use.

Are Eco-Friendly Council Lanyards Available?

Many suppliers offer council lanyards made from recycled PET, bamboo fibre, or organic cotton.

These sustainable options support environmental commitments and carbon-reduction strategies within local government. Eco-friendly lanyards can still feature full-colour branding and are compatible with standard attachments and fittings.

How Quickly Can Council Lanyards Be Delivered?

Council lanyards are generally produced and delivered within 3 to 7 working days, depending on design complexity, order volume, and material choice.

For urgent staffing needs or new department rollouts, accelerated production or 24- to 72-hour delivery options may be available, with many suppliers offering rapid courier services for time-critical council operations.

Can Council Lanyards Include Department-Specific Text or Colour Coding?

Council lanyards can be produced with tailored department names, colour-coded sections, or printed role identifiers to support quick visual recognition across multiple service teams.

Options include distinct colours for Housing, Planning, Community Safety, Waste Services, HR, and Visitor Services, allowing staff and the public to identify roles at a glance. Custom Pantone matching ensures each department’s lanyard aligns with local authority branding and internal ID standards.

Do Council Lanyards Support Secure Access Card Integration?

Council lanyards can be supplied with accessories designed for secure access management, including rigid card holders, anti-twist clips, RFID-compatible sleeves, and detachable buckle sections for fast card scanning.

These features are ideal for staff who regularly enter restricted council areas, civic buildings, data rooms, or multi-site facilities, ensuring smoother movement while maintaining full identification and security compliance.
