Keep roles recognisable

Staff, visitor and contractor wording can support a consistent identification scheme. Choose colours that work with your existing badges and agree the design rules across departments or sites.

Choose the right fittings

Review the breakaway and attachment choices against your organisation’s requirements before ordering. The configurator offers one, two or three breakaways. Discuss any wearer-specific needs with ACB.

Coordinate cards and holders

Check the holder orientation and clip compatibility, especially when replacing part of an existing system. Supply your institution’s logo and artwork guidelines so the lanyard and ID card can share a consistent style.

BEFORE YOU ORDER

School and university lanyard questions

Need a different fitting or a larger order?
Talk to ACB about your requirements.

Can staff and visitors have different colours?

Yes. You can order multiple designs within the configurator’s quantity rules: at least 50 per design and 100 overall. Include the wording, colour references and quantity split for each design in your notes.

Can I choose more than one safety breakaway?

The configurator offers one, two or three breakaways for compatible specifications. Select fittings according to your organisation’s own policy and the intended wearer; a generic lanyard image does not establish suitability for every setting.

Can I coordinate lanyards with staff ID cards?

Yes. ACB also supplies printed ID cards and holders. Supply your institution’s logo and confirm card orientation and holder style so the complete set can be planned together. Cards and holders are ordered separately.

What is the minimum order?

The online configurator starts at 100 lanyards. For several designs, allow at least 50 lanyards per design and 100 overall.

Can I upload my logo before ordering?

Yes. Choose Upload artwork now and select a PDF, PNG or JPEG up to 10MB. Your artwork is attached to this lanyard specification when you add it to the basket. If it is not ready, choose Send artwork later.

Will I see the design before it is printed?

Yes. The artwork is reviewed and a proof is supplied for your approval before production. Check spelling, colours, positioning and fittings carefully when approving the design.

Can my lanyards be printed on both sides?

Both-sided printing is available for compatible fabric specifications. Silicone uses one-sided printing. The configurator checks your chosen combination before showing a price.

When does the turnaround start?

The displayed working-day turnaround starts after artwork approval. Artwork preparation and changes can affect the schedule. Contact ACB before ordering if you need delivery for a fixed event date.

Can I order matching cards and holders?

Yes. Browse our photo ID printing, event passes and card holders, and check that your chosen clip is compatible with the holder or pass.
