I often get asked about local suppliers of lanyards and if any are produced in New Zealand. Sad fact is there is no local manufacturing base for lanyards in New Zealand. Most sourcing companies get their lanyards from China. This doesn’t mean to say these lanyards are of inferior quality. China is probably the most prolific producer of lanyards in the world, so you’re not getting a shabby product, but it does mean that if you have a policy of only buying Kiwi made products, that’s not going to be possible when purchasing lanyards.
You can still get printed lanyards within a few weeks, even though they are done overseas. Some lanyard suppliers will try and hold back orders to consolidate freight and they’re the ones that will say it takes 3 to 4 weeks. Anyone offering a two week turnaround means they fly your lanyards in exclusively. You might pay a little more, but if you need your lanyards quicker and you can’t buy them locally here in New Zealand, then these lanyards are probably your best option
