What is a lanyard?

A lanyard is a rope or cord exclusively worn around the neck or wrist to carry something. Usually it is used where there is a risk of losing the object or to ensure it is visible at all times.

Lanyard Style

Simple lanyards made of braided fabric with a clip attached to the end are used frequently in retail and business situations for holding name badges. The typical arrangement is to attach a plastic holder to the lanyard, with the person's name badge facing the front and occasionally small items such as business cards, pens or tools stashed behind the badge for easy access. Such lanyards can also be used as keychains, particularly in situations where keys can easily be lost for lack of storage, such as gyms. Common lanyard materials include polyester, nylon, satin and silk.

Lanyards are widely used with small electronic devices such as cameras, MP3 players and USB flash drives to prevent loss or dropping. Electronics designed to take a lanyard usually have a small hole built into a corner or edge of the case or anchored to the frame of the device.

Lanyards are commonly used to display badges, tickets or ID cards for identification where security is required, e.g. public places such as hospitals, prisons and some schools or in commercial enterprises as well as public gatherings such as concerts, conventions and trade fairs. In these cases, lanyards are often customized with the related name and/or logo of the event, business, or organisation.

Breakaway Lanyards

Breakaway Lanyards are manufactured for added safety. If for example the lanyard is grabbed in an attack or if it gets caught in machinery, the lanyard automatically 'breaks apart'. It can then be reconnected thanks to the easy fastening mechanism and used again as normal.
