Print Methods & Materials
The right print process depends on your design — here's how they compare.
Screen Print
Best for: simple logos, bold text, and spot colours. Screen printing delivers crisp, vibrant results and is the most cost-effective option for straightforward single or two-colour artwork. Pantone colour matching available.
Best for simple designs
Dye Sublimation
Best for: full-colour designs, gradients, photographic imagery, and complex artwork. Dye sublimation embeds colour directly into the fabric for a soft, durable finish that won't crack or peel.
Best for full colour

Made from 100% recycled polyester (rPET), our eco lanyards offer the same great print quality with a significantly lower environmental impact. Available with screen print or dye sublimation. Great for brands with sustainability commitments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about ordering printed lanyards from Cards-X.
Yes — double-sided printing is available across all our print methods. This doubles your branding real estate and is popular for lanyards that display different information on each side, such as a logo on one side and contact details on the other. Just select this option when requesting your quote.
For screen printed lanyards, we offer 1–4 spot colours. Dye sublimation allows for unlimited full-colour printing including gradients and photographic imagery. If you need Pantone colour matching, mention this in your enquiry.
Our minimum order is typically 50 lanyards, though this can vary depending on the print method and specification. Get in touch with your requirements and we'll confirm the minimum for your chosen options.
Yes — breakaway safety clips are available as a standard add-on. These snap apart under pressure, which is a legal requirement in many school, healthcare and industrial environments. We recommend them for any setting where safety is a priority.
Once you've placed your order, our team will contact you for your artwork. We accept most file formats including AI, EPS, PDF, PNG and JPEG. Don't worry if your files aren't print-ready — our in-house design team will prepare your artwork for production and send you a digital proof to approve before printing begins.
We offer a range of turnaround times to suit your deadline. Standard production takes around 10–15 working days from artwork approval, with express options available. Our team will advise on the best delivery option for your requirements when you request your quote.
Yes — we offer Pantone colour matching for screen printed lanyards, ensuring your brand colours are reproduced accurately. For dye sublimation, we work to CMYK values and can match from a brand guideline or reference sample.
Absolutely. Our rPET (recycled polyester) lanyards are made from 100% recycled materials and are available with both screen print and dye sublimation. They're a popular choice for organisations with sustainability goals or green procurement policies.
