Full Colour Lanyards
Full Colour Lanyards For Detailed Custom Branding
Full colour lanyards are ideal when your design includes multiple colours, gradients, finer detail or more creative artwork that would be difficult to reproduce with a simpler print method. They are widely used for branded staff ID, conferences, exhibitions, promotions and campaigns where the visual identity needs to look more detailed and more flexible than a standard spot colour print can offer.
This print route suits organisations that want custom lanyards with more freedom in the artwork, whether that means colourful branding, more complex logos or a design that runs across the full strap. It is a strong choice where presentation, brand consistency and visual impact are all important to the finished result.

Full colour lanyards for more flexible artwork
Our full colour lanyards are designed for artwork that needs more freedom than a simpler print method can usually offer. They are well suited to logos with multiple colours, gradient effects, detailed patterns, photographic elements or more creative designs that need to reproduce clearly across the strap.
That makes them a popular choice for organisations and events that want a custom lanyard to feel more visually distinctive. Where branding is a key part of the finished presentation, full colour printing often gives the clearest route to achieving the right look.
Why choose full colour lanyards?
Full colour lanyards are a strong option when the artwork itself is central to the product. They allow for a more detailed and more visually expressive design, making them ideal for campaigns, events and brands that rely on richer graphics or more complex visual identities.
They are often chosen where colour accuracy, creative freedom and overall presentation matter more than keeping the artwork very simple.
Best for detailed logos and gradients
If your design includes several colours, softer transitions or more intricate elements, full colour lanyards are usually the best place to start. They are better suited than screen printed lanyards when the artwork goes beyond bold text and simple shapes.
This makes them especially useful for more design-led branding, promotional visuals and event graphics that need to carry through onto the finished lanyard.
Used for events, promotions and branded ID
Full colour lanyards are widely used for conferences, exhibitions, festivals, branded promotions, delegate packs and workplace identification where a stronger visual result is needed. They help create a more polished and recognisable presentation when the lanyard is part of the wider event or brand experience.
They are also useful where the lanyard needs to coordinate more closely with printed materials, signage, passes or campaign artwork.
Part of our custom lanyard range
This page focuses on full colour styles, but it forms part of our wider custom lanyards range. If you are still comparing branding methods, it can also help to review screen printed lanyards for simpler artwork or woven lanyards for a stitched finish.
Comparing the three routes side by side is often the easiest way to decide whether your priority is detail, texture or bold simplicity.
Options for different applications
The products shown on this page cover a variety of full colour lanyard styles for different branding requirements and uses. Depending on the product, you may be comparing different materials, strap widths, clip layouts or finishes to suit staff ID, promotional campaigns, conferences or larger passes.
If your application involves bigger credentials or event badges, conference lanyards may also be relevant.
Complete your identification setup
Full colour lanyards are often ordered alongside other products to create a complete identification solution. Popular additions include ID cards and inserts and ID card holders, wallets and reels.
Choosing these together can help deliver a more consistent result across staff, visitors, delegates and event attendees.
Choosing the right full colour lanyard
Full colour lanyards are usually the right choice when the design needs more than a simple logo print. If your artwork includes gradients, multiple colours, detailed graphics or a more creative overall look, this print route often provides the best balance of branding freedom and finished presentation.
If you are deciding between custom lanyard types, start with the artwork itself. The more complex and design-led the branding is, the more likely full colour will be the most suitable route. For simpler branding, screen printed options may be enough, while woven styles suit a more textured stitched finish. That comparison usually makes the best option much clearer.
