When your design does not require multiple print colors, a 1-color print lanyard provides a straightforward way to display a company name, event message, department name, school identity, or other simple artwork.

This RAFFLESTAG lanyard style combines a solid-color strap with one-color printing. Instead of building a design around multiple printed colors, you can focus on clear visual contrast between the selected lanyard color and your artwork.

This format is especially well-suited to designs centered on text, a simple logo, or another uncomplicated graphic.

For buyers comparing this style with other lanyard options, the broader custom lanyards and ID products category includes related solutions for workplace identification, events, schools, conferences, and other credential programs.

Choose From Four Lanyard Widths

RAFFLESTAG offers this 1-color print style in four widths:

0.50 inch provides the narrowest profile among the available choices. It can suit programs where buyers prefer a slimmer-looking lanyard.

0.58 inch provides an intermediate option between the 0.50-inch and 0.75-inch versions.

0.75 inch gives you a wider strap and is the width selected in the product configuration shown.

1 inch is the widest available choice and provides the greatest strap width among these four options.

The approximate metric equivalents are 12.7 mm, 14.7 mm, 19.1 mm, and 25.4 mm, respectively.

You can approach width selection as both a visual and artwork decision. A narrower lanyard creates a slimmer appearance, while a wider version provides more vertical space for the printed design.

15 Solid Colors for Different Branding Needs

One of the main selection features of this lanyard is its range of solid strap colors.

The visible choices include Yellow Gold 1225c, Red 485c, Black, Light Pink 672c, Reflex Blue 2736c, Lime Green 7488c, Navy Blue 289c, Gray Cool 6, Teal 3262c, Dark Green 7732c, White, Brown 478c, Hot Pink 225c, Lavender 7441c, and Light Blue 297c.

This variety gives buyers flexibility when coordinating lanyards with company branding, event themes, teams, departments, or attendee groups.

The ordering interface also lets you enter quantities for individual colors. This is useful when a single project needs several strap colors rather than one color throughout the entire order.

For example, an organization could use different colors to visually separate staff groups, while an event organizer could assign colors to different participant categories. You can plan the exact color structure around the program's needs.

Plan the Strap and Print Color Together

With a one-color print design, contrast deserves particular attention.

The strap acts as the background for the printed artwork, so the combination should make the message or logo easy to distinguish. A simple design can often take advantage of strong contrast between the solid lanyard color and the single printed color.

This also means complicated artwork may benefit from simplification before production. Small details that depend on several different colors may not translate naturally into a one-color design.

Instead, consider which part of your identity is most important to display. That might be a logo, organization name, event title, web address, department, or short message.

Useful for ID and Credential Programs

Printed lanyards are commonly paired with identification or credential products. Businesses can use them for employees and visitors, while schools, conferences, exhibitions, and organized events can use them for badges and passes.

RAFFLESTAG also offers custom PVC cards in several sizes. Consider these when building an identification or credential setup that includes both a printed card and a lanyard.

Another related option is the card holder range, which includes several holder styles. Card holders can help create a more complete badge setup when the credential needs to be displayed from the lanyard.

Matching lanyard, card, and holder requirements at the planning stage makes it easier to create a consistent identification system.

A Practical Option for Conferences and Events

Events frequently need an easy way to make credentials visible while also distinguishing different groups.

A one-color printed lanyard can be used for conference attendees, exhibition personnel, event staff, volunteers, school activities, corporate gatherings, or other organized programs where wearable identification is useful.

The 15 available strap colors also give organizers another visual element to work with. Instead of relying only on the information printed on an ID card, organizers can incorporate different lanyard colors into the overall credential design.

For events that need additional printed identification products, buyers can also review RAFFLESTAG’s PVC card options alongside the lanyard order.

Selecting a Width for Your Artwork

When choosing between 0.50, 0.58, 0.75, and 1 inch, consider your artwork.

Short, uncomplicated text or a compact logo may work with a narrower strap, depending on the design. If the visual identity benefits from a broader lanyard face, the 0.75-inch or 1-inch choices provide additional width.

The goal is not simply to choose the widest or narrowest option. Instead, consider how the design will sit on the strap and how prominent you want the lanyard to appear when worn.

The 0.75-inch option shown in the product configuration sits between the narrower choices and the 1-inch maximum width.

Ordering Multiple Lanyard Colors

The color selection interface includes an individual quantity field for each available solid color. This lets buyers place an order with different lanyard colors.

That can be particularly useful for organizations with multiple departments or event planners managing different attendee types.

Before entering quantities, determine how many lanyards you need in each color, and make sure the combined order reflects your planned distribution. The minimum quantity displayed for this product is 20 pieces.

Build a Coordinated Badge Setup

A lanyard often functions as one component of a larger identification system.

If your project includes employee cards, attendee credentials, visitor passes, or membership identification, consider the size and presentation of those items when selecting the lanyard.

RAFFLESTAG’s ID card holder options provide several styles for buyers who need a holder in addition to the printed lanyard.

Planning these components together keeps the lanyard, credential, and holder aligned with the intended application, rather than treating each piece as an unrelated purchase.

Choosing Your 1 Color Print Lanyard

Start by deciding how the lanyard will be used and who will wear it. From there, select one of the four available widths and choose the solid strap color or colors required for the order.

Next, consider how your one-color artwork will contrast with those strap colors. Simple logos, organization names, short event titles, and other clear graphics are natural candidates for this printing format.

With a 20-piece minimum, four width choices, and 15 visible solid colors, RAFFLESTAG’s 1 Color Print Lanyard gives US businesses, schools, organizations, and event teams a flexible way to create coordinated wearable identification.
