Is this a multi-day event?
Is visual security important?
Will participants need to remove their badge?
How detailed is your logo?
Does your event have sponsors?
Is safety a concern?
Lanyards That
Elevate Your Event
Your event badge isn’t just functional — it’s a part of your brand. A well-designed event lanyard makes your attendees feel like they’re part of something curated, something considered — and sponsors often want to make a statement with premium lanyards. At K&A we can help you design custom lanyards that look good, feel right, and keep your event badge exactly where it belongs.
Lanyard Widths That Work With Your Style
Go slim with 3/8″ for subtle branding or make a statement at your event with a full 1″ lanyard. We’ll guide you if you’re not sure.
3/8" Width Event Lanyards
Shown with dye-sub imprinting and a bulldog clip with a metal crimp.
Great for school events, charity runs, trade show attendees, and large expos.
Why choose it:
• Low-cost option for high-volume needs
• Light and practical for short-term use or outdoor events
• Keeps badge visible without being a focus
Considerations:
• Logos print smaller so simple designs work best
5/8" Width Event Lanyards
Shown with silkscreen imprinting and a swivel hook with a metal crimp.
Great for regional conferences, vendor expos, and nonprofit fundraisers.
Why choose it:
• Offers better brand visibility while keeping costs manageable
• A common “default” choice for many professional events
• Supports moderate logos and clear text
Considerations:
• A good mid-level size but still only has space for simple text and designs
3/4" Width Event Lanyards
Shown with silkscreen imprinting with a trigger snap swivel hook and a metal crimp.
Great for branded product launches, sponsor-heavy events, and executive summits.
Why choose it:
• Stands out more in photos and in-person
• Accommodates logos + event/sponsor messaging
• Looks more “official” and memorable to attendees
Considerations:
• May feel bulkier to some attendees — especially if worn all day
1" Width Event Lanyards
Shown with dye-sub imprinting with a lobster claw and a metal crimp.
Great for tech conferences, pro sports events, media/VIP, and global summits.
Why choose it:
• Highest visual impact — best for detailed logos or sponsor branding
• Often used to impress VIPs, partners, or press
• Adds perceived value and a “souvenir look”
• Works well for custom badge accessories or multi-day events
Considerations:
• Higher cost and larger size might not be necessary for smaller, more casual events
A Custom Imprint That Showcases Your Brand
Whether you’re after bold logos, full-color gradients, or a more minimalist approach for your lanyards, we’ll help you find an imprint style that works for your event.

Choose Your End-Fitting Attachment
We’ll help you choose the right lanyard fitting for your event — whether you need the simplicity of a Swivel Hook, the strong hold of a Bulldog Clip, the easy flexibility of a Trigger Snap Swivel Hook, or the polished look of a Lobster Claw.
Crimp or Sewn Finishes
Crimped in or a clean sewn finish– both are durable, but we can help you decide which is best for your lanyard design.
Safety Breakaway
For active spaces, kid-friendly zones, or just peace of mind — breakaways are available and recommended.
