Badge lanyards can be worn around the neck or wrist, and they make accessing your ID super convenient. Lanyards are made in a variety of ways adding comfort and usability to it. Because of their unique construction, lanyards can endure abusive use and wear lasting for decades or even longer.
The lanyard itself is often made from woven polyester or nylon. The weave is a strong industrial twill, microweave, or jacquard. Lanyards can also be knotted with the Box stitch, zipper stitch, circle stitch, cobra stitch, butterfly stitch, or square stitch. Lanyards are also made of stretchy fabric and of knitted yarns. Finally, lanyards in leather are commonly produced.
The most important aspect of the lanyard is the metal attachment that holds your Identity Information securely. O rings are commonly attached as are break-away clips, NPS swivel hooks, bulldog clips, swivel bulldog clips, split key ring with bulldog extender, J hook with split key ring, and swivel lobster clips.
These convenient accessories expedite daily activities where ID badges are flashed throughout the day to enter and exit secure areas of a building or complex. They also offer ease of entry when attending conferences and trade shows. Many professions use lanyards daily as part of their routines: nurses, doctors, and other medical professionals. Events such as football and basketball games have staff that are immediately identified by their ID’s worn around their necks and secured by a lanyard. The same is true of concert staff for musical events. TV and media also identify themselves with ID secured by a lanyard.
Lanyards are so commonly used that each day an individual will see at least two people wearing one. Colleges have them custom made to reflect the college name or team name to encourage pride in their institution.
