Custom Lanyards for Abu Dhabi Companies and Events

A lanyard is worn all day, in plain sight, which makes it one of the most effective low-cost branding items. At conferences and exhibitions it carries the delegate badge; in offices it holds staff ID; in schools it identifies students and visitors.

Lanyard prints come in several styles. Screen printing is the economical choice for one or two solid colours. Dye sublimation prints full colour, including photos and gradients, on smooth polyester ribbon. Woven jacquard lanyards have the design woven into the ribbon for a premium look, and tubular lanyards offer a soft round feel. Eco lanyards use recycled PET or bamboo fibres.

Print Near Me advises on width, material, print style and attachments, sends a free proof and delivers finished lanyards. Pair them with ID cards from our ID Cards page and badges from our Badges page.

Buying Guide

Before You Order Custom Lanyards

Artwork and File Checklist

  • Vector logo: send AI, EPS or PDF; sublimation also accepts high-resolution artwork.
  • Text repeat: logos usually repeat every 10–12 cm; tell us the spacing you prefer.
  • Pantone colours: share Pantone references for ribbon and print colours.
  • Attachment: choose clip, hook or breakaway based on how the lanyard will be used.
  • Card size: tell us your ID card or holder size (CR80 is standard).

Quality and Safety Notes

  • Breakaway: use safety breakaway for children and machinery areas.
  • Comfort: wider ribbon spreads weight; tubular is softer on the neck.
  • Eco options: rPET and bamboo lanyards are available; ask for supplier documents before making recycled claims.
  • Durability: woven and polyester lanyards resist fraying; sublimated colours are fade-resistant.
  • Spare stock: order extra for new staff or delegates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Print Near Me prints custom lanyards in Abu Dhabi, including screen-printed polyester, dye-sublimated full-colour, woven jacquard, tubular and eco-friendly lanyards, with clips, breakaways and badge holders, and delivers across Abu Dhabi and the UAE.

Screen-printed lanyards use solid spot colours and are economical for simple logos. Sublimated lanyards are printed in full colour on both sides with gradients and photos, making them ideal for events and bold artwork.

10 mm is slim and economical, 15 mm is a popular all-rounder, 20 mm gives more print area, and 25 mm is wide and high-impact for events. Wider lanyards show more branding but cost slightly more.

A breakaway lanyard has a safety release that opens when pulled with force, reducing the risk of choking or snagging. It is recommended for schools and for staff working near machinery.

A lobster claw clip with a badge holder or card sleeve is the most popular choice. A bulldog clip works for paper badges, and a badge reel is useful for frequent scanning.

A standard loop is about 90 cm around, which hangs about 45 cm from the neck. We can supply different lengths on request.

Yes. Sublimated lanyards can be printed on both sides, and screen-printed lanyards can be printed one or both sides. Printing both sides ensures the logo is visible however it twists.

Minimums depend on the print style and material. Sublimation and screen printing suit small to bulk quantities, while woven lanyards need larger runs. Share your quantity and we will confirm at the quote stage.

Production time depends on the print style, quantity and attachments. We confirm turnaround at the quote stage and after proof approval and can advise on event deadlines.

Yes. Lanyards are packed in cartons and delivered to offices, schools, hotels and event venues across Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah and the other Emirates. You can order matching ID cards and badges together.
