For a standard custom neck lanyard, factory planning prices can start around US$0.17–0.30 per piece at 5,000+ pieces for a simple screen-printed polyester specification. At 100 pieces, full-color or woven projects usually cost more because artwork setup, material preparation and small-batch handling are divided across fewer units.
These are non-binding planning ranges in US dollars per piece for a standard 20 mm × 900 mm neck lanyard with a basic metal hook and standard packing. Freight, duties, taxes, badge holders, premium hardware, rush production, special packaging and complex artwork are not included. Final pricing must be confirmed after artwork and specifications are reviewed.

What changes the unit price?
Quantity and setup
Small runs carry more setup and handling cost per piece. Moving from 100 to 500 or 1,000 pieces usually creates the largest unit-price improvement.
Width and length
A 25 mm or extra-long strap uses more material than a 10–15 mm standard-length lanyard. Wider lanyards also create more printable area.
Artwork and print method
Screen print is efficient for simple solid-color logos. Sublimation is better for gradients and full-color graphics. Woven logos require yarn setup and simpler artwork.
Hardware and packaging
Breakaway releases, detachable buckles, badge reels, premium metal clips, double hooks, individual bags and custom cards increase the final price.
How to request an accurate quotation
Provide the quantity, finished width and length, material, print method, number of logo colors, one-side or two-side printing, hook or clip, safety release, badge holder, packing, delivery country and required date. A price without these details is only a rough comparison.

Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum order for custom lanyards?
The general custom lanyard MOQ starts from 100 pieces. Screen-printed custom lanyards start from 500 pieces because the printing setup is more economical at that quantity.
Are shipping costs included in the price table?
No. The planning ranges exclude international freight, duties, taxes and destination charges.
Why can two lanyards with the same width have different prices?
Material, print method, artwork colors, hardware, badge holder, safety release, packaging, quantity and delivery schedule can all change the price.
Can LANYVO quote below the published range?
Large quantities and simple specifications may reach the lower end of the range. The final quotation depends on the exact project details and current production costs.
