A Custom Lanyard is worn around the neck with an attachment for identification and security purposes. It's a great promotional item for its functionality for schools, tradeshows, hospitals, businesses, special events and seminars as well as for fraternal, religious and civic organizations. A Custom Lanyard is available in nylon which allows high detail silk screening imprinting; polyester, the most popular material for its durability, tube which is constructed from polyester in a tube form. This is generally narrow in width for those who prefer less material around the neck. A woven polyester lanyard allows for stitching logos and other detail directly into the material.
The attachments for a Custom Lanyard adds to its functionality. These attachments may include a keyring, hooks such as a J-hook, ovals and thumb hooks, a bulldog clip, lobster claw, even a cell phone loop. Most of these have a swivel movement, although one attachment was created without the swivel effect.
A Custom Lanyard provides security when added with accessories like a special badge reel that allows for swiping an ID or other entry card. This would also be pretty handy with many grocery stores using debit and credit cards that require swiping upon checkout. They also make great party favors when imprinted with a specified date or label for birthdays, anniversaries, etc.
A Custom Lanyard is designed for every preference. For those who prefer not to have to remove it over their head, there are models with plastic breakaways at the back of the neck, buckle releases which removes the attachment without removing the lanyard while an adjustable bead adjusts the size of the open loop. There is also an available velcro breakaway located at the back of the neck for ease of removal. A small metal crimp insures added security. Lanyards come in an array of colors like red, brown, black, blue, white, yellow and green. Generally, these colors blend well with any business, school or other logo. Silk screen designs are available for customer review prior to final order. Most orders are filled in less than two weeks, depending on the design, material and labor involved. Lanyards are a great investment for retaining clients and increasing sales because they are reasonably priced. This is one item that stands out among promotional gifts.
