What is the difference between a badge and a lanyard?
A badge is the identification piece that displays information such as a person’s name, organization, role, or event access. A lanyard is the cord or strap worn around the neck to carry that badge, usually through a clip, hook, or badge holder. Used together, they provide a visible, hands-free identification system for staff, attendees, volunteers, and guests.
Where can I buy lanyards with a badge holder?
Blueprint Press offers custom lanyards designed for badge display and can help you coordinate them with printed name tags or identification materials for your event or organization. This is especially useful when you need a unified look for registration, staff access, conferences, campaigns, or volunteer programs. Discuss your badge format, branding, quantity, and deadline when requesting an order.
Can lanyards be customized with our logo?
Yes. Custom lanyards can be branded to support recognizable, consistent event or organizational identification. Provide your logo, preferred colors, and any desired wording so the design can align with your existing brand materials. A clear, high-resolution logo file helps produce the sharpest result, particularly when logos include small text, fine lines, or detailed artwork.
What information should be included on an ID badge?
Most ID badges include the person’s name, organization, title or role, and a logo. Depending on the setting, you may also add a department, event name, date, access designation, QR code, or color-coded category. Keep the hierarchy simple: the name should be easiest to read at a glance, followed by the details people need for recognition or access.
Are custom badges useful for conferences and events?
Yes. Custom badges make check-in, networking, and staff recognition more efficient at conferences, meetings, fundraisers, trade shows, and community events. They help attendees identify speakers, sponsors, volunteers, vendors, and event personnel quickly. Matching lanyards also create a more coordinated registration experience and give your organization an additional, visible branding opportunity throughout the event.
How much do custom lanyards cost?
Blueprint Press lists custom lanyards at $8.25 per unit, with flexible per-unit, flat-rate, and volume-based pricing options available. Final pricing can vary based on quantity, customization requirements, and the complete set of materials ordered. If you need lanyards alongside name tags or other event printing, combining details in one order helps ensure coordinated production and planning.
Can you produce ID badges and lanyards quickly?
Blueprint Press provides same-day completion on most print jobs, supported by advanced digital printing technology and an in-house production operation. Turnaround for a specific badge or lanyard order should be confirmed based on quantity, artwork readiness, customization needs, and production scheduling. Providing complete files and accurate attendee information early helps keep your project moving efficiently.
Do you ship custom lanyard orders outside Arizona?
Yes. Blueprint Press serves customers across Arizona, the Southwest, all 50 states, and Canada. For out-of-state orders, real-time shipment tracking is available so you can monitor delivery progress. Arizona organizations may also use Employee Direct Delivery for materials going directly to staff or teams, reducing the need for a central distribution step.
