Events and guest passes

VIP lanyards

A VIP lanyard is a printed neck strap that says VIP. You give it to a guest of honour, someone going backstage, or anyone with an all-access pass, so the door can see the pass without reading the card. The word can already sit on the fabric, or we can print your logo instead. You can order the ones that already have the word on them, or send us how many you need and the artwork and we will quote the job.

In short

  • A VIP lanyard is a neck strap with a badge, for guests who need a pass hanging in sight.
  • Printed VIP already has the word on the fabric. Full colour is the one to order if the event logo has to match.
  • If you would like a holder for a name card, mention that when you order and we will include it.
  • Price depends on how many you need and what you add. You will see it on the product, or we can quote the job.

What you are ordering

The strap is polyester or nylon, with VIP printed on it, or with your event mark. A name card usually sits in a clear holder on the clip. We print the strap. You can print the names on the cards, or we can print plastic cards as well.

This is the usual order for a gala, a conference, or a backstage list: a small group of guests each get a pass around the neck. People working the room still wear staff lanyards. If you are kitting a whole conference, that is covered on conference lanyards.

If you are running a party and VIP is only a colour on the wrist at the door, with nothing around the neck, that job is coloured wristbands. We can help with that too. This page is for the pass around the neck.

How people usually order

Count the people who get a pass, then choose whether the word VIP is enough, or whether the logo has to sit on the strap as well.

  1. 1

    Count the guests who get a pass

    You only need a VIP lanyard for the people who wear the pass. Send that number, not the whole room.

  2. 2

    Choose wording or a logo

    Printed VIP already says VIP, and that is the simpler order. If the pass has to match the event mark, order full colour and send the artwork. We will send a proof before anything is printed.

  3. 3

    Tell us about holders and cards

    If you would like a holder on each lanyard, mention that when you order and we will include it. Add plastic cards if you would like the names printed as well. Then order from the shop, or ask us for a quote with how many you need.

FAQs

Where can I buy good quality lanyards?+
We print VIP lanyards in Australia and send them nationwide. You can order Printed VIP, or browse custom lanyards. If you already know a quantity, ask us for a quote and we will price the job.
What are the two types of lanyards?+
There is no official pair. For a VIP pass, the usual split is the word already printed on the strap, or your logo on full colour. The fabrics are polyester or nylon. You can see both in custom lanyards.
Where can I find high-quality lanyards?+
You can order them from us. We send a proof before we print, so the artwork on the strap matches what you sent. Printed VIP is the wording already on the fabric. Full colour is for a logo.
Which brand offers the best quality lanyards?+
There is no single best brand for every job. We make the straps ourselves. If the logo has to match, order full colour and check the proof. If you only need the word VIP, the printed wording strap will do the job.
