Where Are ID Badge Lanyards Used?
Because lanyards keep identification visible while leaving both hands free, they are widely used for employee ID badges, access cards, school and university IDs, healthcare badges, visitor credentials, conference badges, trade show credentials, membership cards and event passes. They can also be used with proximity cards, smart cards and other access control credentials that employees need to carry throughout the workday.
How to Choose a Lanyard for an ID Badge
Consider the lanyard material, width, color, attachment style, breakaway requirements and printing needs, along with the type of credential being carried. Employees who frequently present an access card to a reader may benefit from an attachment that makes the credential easy to reach, while organizations using lanyard colors for identification may prefer simple solid-color styles.
Custom Lanyards for Branding & Identification
Organizations that want more than a plain lanyard can choose custom printed lanyards featuring logos, company names, departments, messages or event branding. Custom lanyards can help reinforce organizational identity while providing the same practical badge-carrying function as standard neckwear.
Complete Your ID Badge Program
Pair lanyards with badge holders, retractable badge reels and badge clips to build a complete employee, visitor or access credential program.
