20mm Wide Lanyards & Neck Strap
20 mm wide lanyards (neck straps) are the absolute industry standard for corporate identity and events. As our best-selling width for custom printed lanyards, they offer the perfect balance between wearing comfort and brand visibility. The 2 cm wide strap provides ample space for your logo, slogan, or website URL, making it significantly more readable than on narrower key straps. TAEDA has been specializing in lanyard production for over 10 years, guaranteeing premium material quality and sharp printing results.
Our 20 mm custom lanyards are made from smooth satin polyester, which feels soft against the skin and prevents irritation during all-day wear. We utilize modern printing technologies—from full-color sublimation printing (photo quality) to direct screen printing for precise Pantone color matching. These neck straps can be assembled with a wide range of hooks, safety breakaways, and accessories. This width is perfect for holding ID cards, keys, mobile phones, or heavy security badges.
Why order your 20 mm lanyards from TAEDA? You receive free artwork optimization (30 minutes of graphic design time per order), and you always approve a digital proof before production begins. We offer attractive discounts for advertising agencies and wholesalers, starting from low minimum order quantities. We value loyal customers with bonuses and free shipping on selected bulk orders.

Why is the 20 mm width the most popular choice for lanyards?
The 20 mm width is the "sweet spot" in the world of promotional products. It offers enough surface area for creative designs—a 20 mm height allows for a logo size of approximately 16 mm, ensuring perfect legibility even from a distance. Compared to narrower key straps (10 mm or 15 mm), 20 mm lanyards look more robust and premium without being as bulky as the extra-wide 25 mm versions. They are the ideal choice for conferences, music festivals, and as a practical promotional gift for employees.
Due to their popularity, we stock the widest range of base colors and accessories for this size. The material is strong enough to carry a heavy bunch of keys or a smartphone without twisting. If you are looking for a universal solution that fits every occasion, choose the 20 mm variant and pair it with our badge holders and PVC pouches.
Printing Technologies: Sublimation vs. Screen Printing
For 20 mm lanyards, we most commonly use sublimation printing. This technology allows for full-bleed printing over the entire surface (including edges) with an unlimited number of colors. The ink penetrates directly into the fiber, making the print imperceptible to the touch, extremely durable, and resistant to washing. It is ideal for complex graphics, gradients, or photos.
The second option is screen printing, suitable for logos with solid spot colors (Pantone). The ink layer sits on top of the fabric, creating a slight 3D effect with highly saturated, opaque colors. We recommend this method for simple text-based designs where precise corporate color matching is essential. Check out our custom printed textiles to match your lanyards with branded apparel.
Eco-friendly Lanyards and Materials
We care about sustainability, which is why we offer eco-friendly options for our 20 mm lanyards. A highly requested material is RPET, made from recycled PET bottles. It looks and feels identical to standard polyester but has a significantly lower carbon footprint. Other options include bamboo fiber or organic cotton lanyards. You can find all these sustainable choices in our ECO promotional items category.
All our materials, including standard polyester, meet strict safety standards and are safe for skin contact. The lanyards are tested for colorfastness and tensile strength. If you need lanyards immediately without printing, visit our plain lanyards section for the fastest dispatch.
End Fittings and Assembly Options
The standard attachment for 20 mm lanyards is a high-quality metal hook (Egg hook or Fish hook). To increase safety, especially for industrial use or children's events, we strongly recommend adding a safety breakaway at the back of the neck, which releases automatically under tension.
A very practical add-on is the detachable buckle (quick-release), allowing the user to detach the lower part with keys or an ID card without removing the entire lanyard. For specific needs, we also mount retractable badge reels or mobile phone loops.
