The Smart Business Owner's Guide to Lanyard Printing (That Actually Works)

Let me tell you about my friend Sarah. She runs a small tech startup in London. Last year, she spent £2,000 on digital ads that brought in maybe 5 new clients. Then she tried something different - Custom Lanyards for her team to wear at a local networking event. That £150 investment? It led to three big contracts.

At Elixir Print, we've seen this happen time and again. In our digital world, something as simple as a well-made lanyard can make all the difference. Here's everything you need to know - in plain English.

Why Lanyards Are Secret Marketing Weapons

Think about it:

How many online ads do you ignore every day?

Now think about the last time you noticed someone's ID badge

That's the power of lanyards. They:
 Get seen all day long
 Build trust (people believe what they can touch)
 Last for years (unlike digital ads that disappear)
 Work while you sleep (your team becomes your walking billboard)

What Makes a Lanyard People Actually Want to Wear?

After printing thousands of lanyards, we've noticed:

Comfort matters most - If it's scratchy, it'll stay in a drawer

Simple designs work best - Clean logo + maybe your website

The right width - 15mm is standard, 20mm feels more premium

Quality clips - Cheap ones break and badges go missing
