FAQ

How do I borrow the lanyards for my event?

Simply enter the number of Lanyards you need for your event on this website and fill out all the requested information through the borrow application process on this site, and we’ll be in contact shortly as we complete an internal approval process. 

The approval process generally takes 48 hours after your request has been submitted. 

What is the cost to borrow the lanyards?

The lanyards are free to borrow, as long as 85% make it back to us and you cover all shipping costs (their hometown is Vancouver, BC). If less than 85% are returned you will be billed $2.50 per lanyard. 

We just ask that you use the tags #LanyardLibrary and #FairwareMade on any Instagram , Twitter , Facebook posts, documenting your use of the lanyards and the event.

Do the lanyards come with name tag holders?

No. Given the variety of name-tags out there we haven’t been able to source a one-size-fits-all option.

At the same time, we’re here to help you source holders that fit your needs. We can also provide you with tips on using punched name tags that don’t require additional holders.

When choosing a holder type, please keep in mind that the lanyards are fitted with J-hook attachments. We can provide a range of Badgeholders and ID Cards for a fee. 

Where are these lanyards made, and what are they made from?

The lanyards are composed of 100% post-consumer recycled plastic bottles and were made in St. Catherine’s, Ontario by a supplier that has signed off on Fairware’s Supplier Code of Conduct.

What can we do to ensure the highest possible number come back at the end of the event? 

Make sure to introduce your guests to the Lanyard Library program. Awareness and clear expectations will help get everyone on the same page.

Have a box available for returns throughout the event - not everyone stays to the closing minute so making it possible for them to return the lanyards as they leave, no matter when that might be.
