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. A lanyard of course can be worn around the neck (most common), arm, waist or wrist.
Usually, lanyards are made out of a cord; cotton, nylon, or polyester twill. Several different lanyards are made out of 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.
These days, a lot of people make use of lanyards. Lanyards have become very popular these days. It’s possible as you walk down the street to often be able to say ‘hi’ to so many people if you want and call them by their first name because they are wearing their work identity 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 also such as badge holders & other attachment hardware. Another thing you might want to buy for your lanyard is a retractable badge reel, for your security passes. This chord lets the user to scan their card without having to take off the lanyard. The cards can be retracted close to their pocket so it won’t swing around the neck. 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.
Of course, lanyards are also great for advertising purposes. By having it custom printed with a company slogan, name, or logo it will double as an advertising tag and name tag.
Flat lanyards can be printed on. Those made out of polyester twill, nylon, or cotton are usually flat and their surface are ideal for printing designs and logos. There are three different printing techniques that can be used, namely hot stamping, screen-printing and dye sublimation. Hot stamping is the cheapest normally seeing it only uses 1 color. This method is best for badges used by students or at trade shows. Screen-printing uses colored ink. It also produces a higher quality and longer lasting image in case you need a more durable & better quality finish. Dye sublimation is the most expensive technique, which makes sense seeing it produces the most detailed and longest lasting image.
