Corporate Promotional Gifts Dubai

If you are planning an order of customised lanyards in Dubai, the first question is usually how much they will cost. The honest answer is that there is no single price, because a lanyard is built from several choices that each change the total. Once you know what those choices are, it becomes much easier to compare quotes from customised lanyard suppliers in Dubai on the same footing.

This guide walks through every factor that affects the price, so you can decide where to spend and where to save.

The short answer

The price of a custom lanyard depends on its material, width, print method, number of colours, attachments, order quantity and delivery deadline. The more lanyards you order in one run, the lower the price per piece usually becomes. Special materials, extra features and rush delivery push the price up.

Material

The fabric is the biggest single choice. Polyester is the most common option and usually the most economical. Nylon feels smoother and satin has a glossy, premium look, and both can cost more than standard polyester. Recycled or eco-friendly fabrics suit sustainability-led campaigns and can also add to the cost. If that matters to your brand, our eco-friendly gift range shows what else can carry the same message.

Width and length

A wider lanyard uses more fabric and gives you more room for a logo, so it generally costs more than a narrow one. Narrow lanyards suit simple name badges, while wider ones suit bold branding at exhibitions and conferences. Standard length is fine for most orders, and unusual lengths may change the price.

Print method and number of colours

How your logo is applied has a direct effect on cost. Full-colour sublimation prints photo-quality artwork, which suits detailed or gradient designs. Screen printing uses ink pressed through a screen, which is durable and cost-effective for larger runs of simple logos. You can read how each method works on our printing technologies page.

Two things move the price within any method. Each extra colour can add to setup, and printing on both sides costs more than printing on one.

Attachments and safety features

The hardware at the end of the lanyard changes the price too. A metal hook, a lobster clasp, a bulldog clip, a detachable buckle and a breakaway safety release each cost differently. Breakaway clasps are popular for staff who work around machinery or crowds, and an ID card holder is often added as a finishing piece. Decide which features you really need, because each one is multiplied by your order quantity.

Order quantity

Quantity has the biggest effect on the price per lanyard. Setup work such as preparing the print is a fixed effort, so it is spread across more pieces on a large order and weighs heavily on a small one. If you know you will need more lanyards later in the year, ordering them together in one run is usually cheaper than several small orders.

Artwork and proofing

Ready-to-print artwork keeps costs down, because the production team can start straight away. Vector files such as AI, EPS or PDF give the sharpest result. If your logo needs to be redrawn or adjusted, allow for that time. Always approve a proof before production so a spelling error or a wrong colour does not get printed on the whole run.

Turnaround and delivery

Normal production time costs less than a rush job. If your lanyards are for an exhibition, conference or staff event with a fixed date, order early so there is room for proofing and delivery. Ask for the lead time in writing when you request a quote.

How to get an accurate quote

The quickest way to get a precise price is to send your supplier a complete brief. Include:

1. The quantity you need.
2. The material and width you prefer, or the event and use so the team can advise.
3. The print method, number of colours and whether you want one or both sides printed.
4. The attachment or safety features required.
5. Your logo or artwork file.
6. Your deadline and delivery location.
