Lanyards

Lanyards are the most common way to wear your ID badge. They can be worn around your neck with a twist free or swivel hook on the end to hold your ID card. Standard lanyards come in a several color options and sizes, with a breakaway feature that releases it from the neck when pulled. This breakaway feature is a must-have, especially in school environments, as it protects wearers from getting caught on objects and choking.

Antimicrobial lanyards have been popular among health organizations for their ability to inhibit the growth of germs and kill odor-causing bacteria. You can also use lanyards to display and distinguish visitor badges, as they can easily be taken on and off.

To better enhance your organizations image, display your ID badges with style! Lanyards can be customized in a full range of colors, imprint options, materials, sizes, and attachments to promote your company, school, brand, or event.

The retractable feature works great for hospital and office personnel who use their badges routinely throughout the facility and everyday use.
