Lanyard

Not every ID program or event requires printed artwork. A plain lanyard provides a straightforward option when the main priorities are color, identification, badge carrying, and easy distribution.

RAFFLESTAG's plain lanyard comes in a 0.75-inch width (approximately 19.1 mm). The product configuration shown has a minimum quantity of 20 pieces and gives buyers several choices for lanyard construction, clips, colors, and card holders.

For buyers who need other lanyard and identification products, the RAFFLESTAG Lanyard & Card collection brings together lanyards, PVC cards, card holders, pull reels, and related products.

Choose from 10 Solid Lanyard Colors

Color can be useful even when a lanyard does not carry printed artwork. Available solid choices include Red 485c, Black, Lime Green 7488c, Navy Blue 289c, Teal 3262c, White, Orange 715c, Purple 253c, Royal Blue 3005c, and Yellow Gold 1225c.

This range gives organizations a practical way to use different colors for different groups. For example, an event may issue one color to staff and another to attendees. A school can separate groups by color, while a workplace can use different lanyards for employees and visitors.

The ordering interface also provides quantity fields by color, making the available colors useful when an order needs to be divided among different groups.

Joint-End or Open-End Lanyard Construction

Two lanyard types are available.

The joint-end lanyard is the free choice. This configuration brings the lanyard ends together at the attachment point, creating a conventional setup for carrying an ID card or badge.

An open-end lanyard is also available for an additional $0.15 per piece. This provides another construction choice for buyers whose badge setup calls for an open-end arrangement.

Because these options affect how the lower portion of the lanyard is configured, buyers can choose the version that fits their intended badge or card arrangement rather than choosing by color alone.

Two Free Clip Choices

The lanyard can be configured with either a lobster claw or bulldog clip, and both options are shown as free.

A lobster claw provides a compact attachment point for compatible badge and card holder arrangements. A bulldog clip offers a different clip format for identification applications.

This flexibility is especially useful when an organization already has ID cards or holders and wants to select a clip that works with its existing setup.

For buyers who still need the ID carrier itself, RAFFLESTAG also offers a dedicated Card Holder range with several holder styles.

Add a Card Holder to Build an ID Setup

One of the most useful aspects of this plain lanyard configuration is the range of optional card holders. Instead of ordering a neck strap alone, buyers can add a holder suited to the dimensions and orientation of their identification card or credential.

Four holder options cost an additional $0.25 each: WS-01 at 54 × 86 mm, WS-02 at 75 × 110 mm, WH-01 at 95 × 65 mm, and WH-02 at 108 × 75 mm.

An A6 holder measuring 108 × 155 mm costs an additional $0.45 each. Other soft holder sizes are listed at $0.25 each.

For alternative holder formats, a double-pocket holder, 90 × 60 mm hard plastic holder, and soft PVC holder are each available for an additional $0.50.

The dimensions matter when selecting a holder. Buyers should match the holder option to the card or credential being used rather than choosing solely from the holder image.

Pair Plain Lanyards with PVC Cards

Organizations starting a new identification or event credential program may also need cards to go with their lanyards.

RAFFLESTAG's PVC Card options include several card dimensions and can be considered when assembling an ID, conference, staff, or visitor credential system. Combining a lanyard, appropriate clip, holder, and card keeps the components of an identification program organized.

This approach can help with conferences, workplaces, schools, exhibitions, visitor management, volunteer programs, and other situations where people need to display credentials.

Use Color to Organize Groups

A plain lanyard can do more than hold a badge. Solid colors can become part of an organization's visual identification system.

At a conference, different colors can distinguish organizers, exhibitors, speakers, or attendees. In a workplace, colors can help differentiate staff from temporary visitors. Schools and clubs may assign colors to teams or groups.

Because the product page provides multiple solid colors and separate quantity entry, buyers can create a mixed-color order based on how many lanyards each group needs.

This can be particularly useful when printed branding is unnecessary and the lanyard's primary purpose is functional identification.

Free Sewing and Bulk Packaging

Sewing is shown as a free selection for this product. Bulk packaging is also included free.

Bulk packaging is a practical choice for orders distributed centrally, such as at an event registration counter, school office, workplace reception desk, or staff check-in point.

These options keep the standard configuration straightforward while letting buyers pay for optional features—such as an open-end construction or card holder—only when they need them.

Selecting the Right Configuration

Start with the number of lanyards you need, keeping the 20-piece minimum in mind. Next, divide the quantity among the available solid colors if different groups need different lanyards.

Then select either the free joint-end configuration or the open-end option at an additional $0.15 each. Choose between the free lobster claw and free bulldog clip according to the intended ID or badge setup.

If card holders are required, compare the holder dimensions with the cards or credentials you will insert. Holder options range from compact ID formats to the larger A6 option, with soft, double-pocket, hard plastic, and soft PVC holder selections.

This configurable approach allows buyers to keep the lanyard simple while adding only the ID-carrying components their program requires.
