A lanyard is simply a device that allows you to secure something to your person so that you have easy access to it such as an identity card or event name tag. Commonly, a lanyard can be worn around the neck, but can also be worn on the arm, waist or wrist.

Most lanyards are normally made out of a cord; cotton, nylon, or polyester twill. Several other lanyards are created from denim, fleece, PVC, satin or even leather.

Attaching your item to the lanyard has a few options or methods. These include bulldog or alligator clips, swivel hooks (plastic or metal), split rings or spring hooks.

There are so many people that use a lanyard these days. Lanyards have become popular on recent times. It is now possible to be able to say ‘hi’ to so many people by their first name now, because they are working their work ID cards around their necks, with their names clearly showing. They become welded almost to their body!

A plastic badge holder is often used to protect the badge from wear and tear. Most companies that sell lanyards usuallyt also sell you all the accessories too like badge holders & other attachment hardware. If you have security passes another thing you might want to buy for your lanyard is a retractable badge reel. This chord allows the user to scan their security card without needing to take off the lanyard. When done the cards retract to close to their pocket so that it is not swinging around their necks annoyingly. These types of lanyards are very useful in a work environment where there is moving machines. Entanglement with the moving machinery will be prevented, and so are the accidents that could arise from them. Should this be needed, you can get lanyards with built in plastic safety breakaways.

You can print on lanyards. The flat ones made out of polyester twill, nylon, or cotton has the necessary flat surface area and the right printable material. It is possible to use three different printing techniques: screen-printing, dye sublimation,and hot stamping. The cheapest of the three is hot stamping, because it uses only one color. This method is best for badges used at trade shows or by students. Screen-printing uses colored ink.
