Wholesale name badges, lanyards, button badges and pins

Buying guide

Badges and lanyards are bought for offices, schools, conferences, trade fairs, clubs and staff uniforms, and they are worn all day, so the print, the clip and the edges matter. Price depends mostly on size, the print or enamel method and the quantity. We work with partner factories on factory-direct terms; we are an importer, not a badge manufacturer, and what you get from us is the sourcing, the inspection and the EU paperwork around the product.

What is in the range

Printed neck lanyards in polyester or nylon from 10 to 25 mm wide and about 900 mm long, with screen print or full-colour heat transfer, lobster clip, detachable buckle and ID holder; hard clear polycarbonate and metal ID card holders; retractable badge reels in 32 mm round, 55 × 35 mm oval and custom printed shapes, with clip or belt clip and about 60 cm cord; printed PVC ID cards in 85.5 × 54 mm, 0.76 mm; metal name badges in 25 × 70 mm, 19 × 59 mm and 75 mm, printed, engraved or blank, with pin or magnet fastening; tin button badges from 15 to 75 mm with your print, blank sublimation badges and parts sets for badge machines; soft and hard enamel lapel pins, die-cast, stamped iron and zinc alloy pins with gold, silver or black nickel plating, UV-printed pins with epoxy coating; satin ribbon award rosettes with a button badge.

What we ask for

Size in mm, material, print or enamel method, number of colours, plating, fastening (safety pin, butterfly clutch, magnet), lanyard width and length, and the attachment. For lapel pins and shaped badge reels a mould or die is made for your design, which adds a one-off cost and a few days; we tell you this in the offer. We request REACH declarations from the manufacturer for platings, enamels and plastics where the material requires it. Magnetic fasteners carry a warning for people with implanted medical devices, and pins have sharp points; warnings go on the packaging in your languages. Badges for school use are accessories, not toys. GPSR labelling applies to every consumer pack, and we act as the EU importer.

Lanyards for events and schools

For conferences and trade fairs, lanyards are usually ordered with card holders and printed ID cards as one set, delivered per event. For schools and staff, a breakaway safety buckle at the neck is worth considering. Pantone colours are matched on the strap and print; you approve a digital proof and, for large orders, a physical sample. If you need wristbands, woven badges or another item that is not in the catalogue, send a photo or link and we source it through manufacturers.
