Open Ended Lanyards

What Are Open Ended Lanyards?

With so many lanyards for sale available, how are open ended options different? This type of lanyard is different from the traditional design that typically has a single fixed attachment point. Open ended lanyards have a fitting point on each end of the lanyard length, allowing you to attach ID to two fittings instead of one. This style of custom printed lanyard is popular for events, conferences, and workplaces where displaying identification is essential.

Why Are Open Ended Lanyards Useful?

These personalized lanyards bring additional utility to ID badge displays with their unique design. Having not one but two anchor points, once attached to ID card holders, they offer greater stability for ID displays. With a lesser chance of spinning, twisting, and becoming crooked, these lanyards are popular for business ID solutions, expos, and conventions in Canada all year round.

How to Customize Open Ended Lanyards

With so much potential for customization and creativity available with lanyards, we have made a step-by-step guide for your process to help make things more streamlined! This guide to custom printed lanyards is a brief overview, and we understand that each order is unique with its own needs, so please feel free to contact our team for any additional information you need!

Step One: Choose Your Width

A great place to begin is to decide on the width you would like your business lanyards to be. With four standard sizes available, 10mm, 15mm, 20mm, or 25mm, you can find something for different styles and preferences with ease. Our 20mm is the most popular, offering a great blend of design space and utility; wider versions offer a larger surface for customization; and narrower options bring a subtle option for more simplistic branding.

Step Two: Select Your Material

Our open lanyards are available in every material style we offer for custom lanyards. This includes popular materials like nylon and polyester, specialty materials like our premium polyester option, and eco-friendly choices like rPET and bamboo fibre.

Choose Your Lanyard Colour

We offer a range of stock colour options for easy selection, but our badge lanyards are also available with custom Pantone colours for additional customization and versatility potential.

Adding Custom Print

What’s your design idea? Screen print offers a surface-style print that is available with up to five colours, although we recommend three max. If you want a design with more colours, we recommend switching to dye sublimation to allow for a full colour spectrum, including shadows, colour gradients, and more!

Don’t Forget Your Clip Fittings!

Our open ended lanyards are available with a variety of popular lanyard fittings, including crocodile clips and j-hooks. For compatibility with our ID holders, please reach out to our customer service team, who will be more than happy to double check your selection and help ensure the best option for your event!
