Stand Out with a Purple Lanyard for Staff and ID Cards

Purple isn’t quiet—and that’s exactly what makes it work. Whether you're dealing with visitor passes, NHS access cards, school staff ID badges, or conference entry fobs, a purple lanyard stands out straight away. In busy places where people need to be seen, recognised, or grouped quickly, this colour works hard.

From healthcare wards to IT departments, volunteers to venue staff, purple lanyards help you stay organised without needing extra explanation.

Built for Busy Days – Lanyards with Breakaway Clips and Metal Hooks

This lanyard doesn’t cut corners. The breakaway clasp sits at the back of the neck and separates under pressure, helping reduce risk in settings where safety matters. Whether you’re working with young people, moving equipment, or working in care, that extra feature counts.

At the end of the strap is a strong swivel hook made from metal—not plastic. It keeps cards and fobs facing the right way and doesn’t twist around like cheaper alternatives. It holds firm, clips easily, and stays secure all day long.

Match Any Role – Purple Lanyards for Schools, Offices and Events

Some colours look out of place. Purple doesn’t. It’s smart enough for uniforms but still bright enough to grab attention. If you're running an open day, managing visitors, or setting up an event with different access levels, purple lanyards help distinguish roles quickly.

They’re often used in education, care homes, local authorities, NHS departments, and public venues. Easy to see from a distance, easy to assign by group, and easy to rely on.

Made from recycled polyester, this lanyard holds up to daily use without wearing down. It doesn’t fray, curl, or twist like low-quality straps. The fabric sits flat, moves with you, and doesn’t rub or dig in. It’s made for people who don’t sit still.

The material choice also means less waste—and a step towards more sustainable workwear. You're not just getting function, you're cutting out unnecessary plastic.

At around 44cm from neck to clip, this purple lanyard hangs at a good height for day-to-day use. You can tap in at security points, flash your ID, or unlock a staff door without unclipping anything. It stays out of the way when you’re on the move, but it’s always where you need it.

Whether you’re working indoors or out on site, this length suits most people without getting in the way.

Add a Card Holder to Finish the Setup

If you’re using a photo ID or access card, we also offer matching purple card holders in landscape or portrait formats. They attach directly to the metal clip and protect your card from wear. The holders are designed for standard credit-card sized passes, making them suitable for name badges, entry fobs, visitor cards or contactless travel passes.

It’s a simple way to keep your card secure and clearly displayed—no more crumpled corners or worn-out plastic wallets. If purple isn’t quite the right match, we stock both landscape and portrait card holders along with lanyards in a wide range of other colours too, including black, red, blue, green, yellow, orange, grey, pink and white—so you can choose a set that works for your whole team.
