Visitor lanyards

A visitor lanyard is a printed neck strap that makes a guest obvious at a glance. The word Visitor can already sit on the fabric, or you can pick a bright colour next to staff navy. Reception puts it on at sign-in and usually collects it at the door on the way out. Shop the range, or ask us for a quote with a headcount and whether you need card holders.

In short

  • The job is a guest pass that staff can read from across a lobby, not a door ticket on the wrist.
  • Printed Visitor already says Visitor. Pair it with Printed Staff so the split is obvious.
  • A card holder is the usual extra. The name on the card is yours. The strap is what we print.
  • A small office is a small run. A clasp that pops open if pulled is breakaway.

At the front desk

The strap lives behind reception. It is not merch. People borrow it for the visit.

  1. 1

    Keep a stack at the desk

    One colour for guests, a different colour for people who work there. If the word Visitor is already on the fabric, the colour can still match the rest of the kit.

  2. 2

    Clip a card and put it on

    Slide a name or a dated pass into a holder, clip it to the strap, and hand it over at sign-in. That is the card-holder job. We can include holders on the order.

  3. 3

    Collect it on the way out

    Most workplaces take the strap back at the door so the next guest can use it. If someone is staying all week, treat it like a short-term staff pass instead.

Office, school or event

An office wants a bright guest strap next to everyday staff navy so a contractor in the corridor is not mistaken for an employee. Trades on site often need Contractor as a third colour, not another Visitor.

A school front office uses the same split: adults who work here, and adults who do not. Staff identity for teachers is teacher lanyards. Visitors still get the guest strap, including a holder if the office prints a dated pass.

At a conference, day guests and media can wear Visitor while delegates wear the event logo. That kit is covered on conference lanyards. A party or gig door is still a wristband. Use tyvek for that, not a neck strap. Price depends on quantity and extras. You will see it on the lanyard you pick, or ask us for a quote with a headcount and whether you need holders.

FAQs

What do the colors of lanyards mean?+
There is no universal colour chart. You invent the code. Visitor is often a brighter colour than staff so the split is obvious from across the lobby. Write the code on a card at the desk so new receptionists are not guessing.
Where can I go to buy a lanyard?+
We supply printed visitor lanyards Australia-wide. Start with Printed Visitor, or browse custom lanyards. If you already know a quantity and whether you need holders, ask us for a quote.
What is the difference between a tag and a lanyard?+
The tag is the card: a name, a date, sometimes a photo. The lanyard is the strap around the neck. A card holder clips the tag to the strap. We print the strap. You usually print the tag.
What are the different types of lanyards?+
For a workplace the useful split is role wording such as Staff or Visitor, a logo strap, and the fabric: polyester, nylon, or recycled. Guests want the Visitor wording so they do not look like staff. See custom lanyards for the fabrics, and staff lanyards for the employee side.
