Woven Lanyards

At Branded Lanyards, we offer durable, premium-quality woven lanyards to organisations and throughout the UK that require long-lasting identification, clear branding, and a professional appearance.

Suitable for schools, workplaces, events, and healthcare environments, our woven lanyards use stitched-in designs that resist fading and provide a textured, highly resilient finish for everyday use. We offer full customisation with stitched logos, role text, colour matching, multiple clip options, and a variety of widths, ensuring each lanyard is tailored to your operational and branding needs.

What Design Methods Are Available for Woven Lanyards?

Woven lanyards are created using stitching techniques that integrate logos, text, or patterns directly into the fabric, offering a durable, high-quality result. This method is ideal for simple or bold artwork that benefits from a tactile, long-lasting finish.

Some suppliers also offer jacquard weaving for more detailed motifs, allowing multi-colour stitching for distinctive branding. The woven approach ensures that designs resist wear, making these lanyards suitable for repeated daily use in demanding environments.

What Materials and Widths Are Available for Woven Lanyards?

Woven lanyards are made using high-strength polyester fibres woven into a textured, durable ribbon designed for long-term use, including:

• Woven Polyester – Strong and resistant to fraying, with stitched artwork embedded into the fabric.

• 10mm Width – Suitable for compact woven text or simple role identification.

• 15mm Width – A versatile option balancing comfortable wear and visible branding.

• 20mm Width – Offers more room for detailed woven logos or multi-word titles.

• 25mm Width – Ideal for bold designs requiring maximum visibility and high-impact presentation.

How Much Do Woven Lanyards Cost Around ?

The cost of woven lanyards ranges from £0.60 to £2.20 per unit, depending on the quantity ordered, complexity of the woven artwork, number of colours used, and the chosen attachments.

Costs are influenced by whether the lanyard includes multi-colour weaving, upgraded metal clips, safety breakaways, or additional accessories such as badge reels or card holders. Bulk orders generally offer reduced per-unit pricing, making woven lanyards a cost-efficient choice for organisations seeking durable identification.

Does Woven Lanyard Production Include Attachments and Badge Holders?

Most woven lanyard suppliers allow customers to choose from a wide selection of attachments, including swivel hooks, lobster clips, split rings, or bulldog clips.

Safety breakaways are commonly added for educational and healthcare environments. Optional ID holders, such as soft PVC pouches or rigid name-card cases, can be included, along with detachable buckles or retractable reels for enhanced practicality.

How Quickly Can Woven Lanyards Be Delivered to Companies?

Woven lanyards are usually delivered within 7 to 14 working days, as weaving requires more production time than printed styles.

Turnaround may vary based on artwork complexity, colour count, and order volume. Some suppliers provide priority production or expedited dispatch for repeat orders or simple one-colour woven designs that require minimal proofing.

Can Woven Lanyards Be Made From Eco-Friendly or Recycled Fibres?

Eco-conscious woven lanyards can be made using recycled polyester yarns, often sourced from repurposed plastic bottles. These recycled fibres retain the same strength and durability as standard polyester while supporting sustainability goals.

They can be woven with logos, role text, and multi-colour patterns, offering an environmentally responsible alternative without compromising appearance or functionality.

Which Sectors Most Commonly Use Woven Lanyards?

Woven lanyards are widely used across industries that require durable, high-visibility identification, including:

• Education – For long-lasting staff and student ID lanyards.

• Healthcare – For department-specific staff roles in hospitals and health centres.

• Corporate Offices – For employees, visitors, and secure access points.

• Retail and Hospitality – For customer-facing staff needing professional presentation.

• Manufacturing and Warehousing – For rugged daily use in high-movement environments.

• Event Management – For crew, security teams, and premium-tier attendees.

Can Woven Lanyards Include Dual-Sided Designs or Complex Patterns?

Woven lanyards can incorporate intricate patterns, multi-tone weaves, or repeating motifs depending on the weaving technique used. While traditional woven methods focus on single-sided text and simple iconography, advanced jacquard weaving allows for more detailed visuals and multi-layered stitching.

These enhanced techniques make it possible to display repeating graphics, alternating colours, and decorative borders without compromising durability. Although woven designs are generally less suited to photo-quality artwork compared to dye sublimation, they excel in producing long-lasting, high-contrast patterns that remain clear even with heavy daily use.
