LANYVO's general custom lanyard MOQ starts from 100 pieces. Screen-printed custom lanyards start from 500 pieces. The applicable MOQ can increase when the order requires custom-dyed webbing, special metal hardware, individual retail packaging, multiple designs or non-standard materials.
MOQ by order type
| Order type | Planning MOQ | What is practical at this quantity? | Main limitation |
|---|---|---|---|
| General custom lanyard | 100 pieces | Full-color heat transfer, selected woven projects, standard widths, common hooks and simple packing | Higher unit price and fewer cost-saving options |
| Screen-printed lanyard | 500 pieces | Simple solid-color logos on polyester webbing with standard hardware | Not suitable for gradients, photos or highly detailed artwork |
| Better-value bulk order | 1,000 pieces | More competitive unit price, broader hardware choices and practical event or distributor volumes | One model, width and artwork should be confirmed clearly |
| Large event / distribution | 3,000–5,000+ pieces | Lowest unit-cost zone for standard specifications and repeatable packing | Artwork, delivery schedule and packing plan must be finalized early |
What can increase the MOQ?
- Custom-dyed webbing or a special Pantone base color.
- Exclusive metal hooks, custom molded parts or non-standard buckles.
- Multiple designs, departments or attendee groups split across one order.
- Individual retail cards, printed boxes or complex packaging sets.
- Special materials such as certified recycled content, cotton or unusual woven constructions.
- Very short lead times that require separate production arrangements.
100 vs 500 vs 1,000 pieces
100 pieces
Suitable for trial orders, small teams, local events and artwork validation. Choose standard materials, widths and attachments to keep the project practical.
500 pieces
The starting point for screen printing and a useful quantity for schools, conferences and promotional programs that need a simple logo.
1,000 pieces
A stronger balance between unit price and customization. This is often more suitable for distributors, recurring events and branded staff programs.
3,000+ pieces
Best for large events, multi-location programs and repeat sellers that have already approved the artwork, hardware and packaging.
How to keep a low-MOQ order economical
Use a standard width such as 15 or 20 mm, select an existing webbing color when possible, keep the hardware simple, avoid splitting the order into many designs, and use standard bulk packing. Full-color heat transfer can be more practical than screen printing for a 100-piece detailed artwork order.
Before asking whether 100 pieces are possible
- Confirm the exact number of designs and colors.
- Send the artwork and specify whether gradients are required.
- Choose neck lanyard, wrist lanyard or phone lanyard.
- State the width, length, attachment and packing.
- Share the destination and required delivery date.
Frequently asked questions
Can I order 100 custom lanyards?
Yes. The general custom lanyard MOQ starts from 100 pieces for suitable materials and printing methods.
Why is the screen-printing MOQ 500 pieces?
Screen printing requires screen preparation, color setup and production handling. At 500 pieces, the setup cost can be divided across enough units to keep the price practical.
Can I divide 100 pieces into several designs?
It may be possible, but each design creates separate artwork and production setup. The unit price or minimum quantity per design may increase.
Does custom packaging have the same MOQ as the lanyard?
Not always. Printed cards, boxes and other packaging may have a separate supplier MOQ, so the complete project must be checked before confirmation.
