What are my choices in ID badge lanyard styles?

  • From earth-friendly, breakaway, reflective, round, flat, and custom, there are many options to choose from in ID badge lanyard styles. To help you decide which style is best for your needs, we'll take a look at some of the main options:

    Lanyards are available in 4 primary widths:

    1/8'' round - best for one-time use, such as conferences and trade shows

    1/4'' round - offer a safety breakaway and allow your badge to be easily detached from your lanyard

    3/4'' flat - a basic option for day-to-day wear

    5/8'' flat - a great-looking choice when lanyards will be worn every day

    Breakaway or non-breakaway:

    The breakaway feature releases the lanyard from the neck when it's pulled, eliminating choking risk

    Breakaway lanyards are ideal for schools, manufacturing facilities, or anywhere safety is a priority

    Most common attachment styles:

    Bulldog clip - easiest to attach to your card, but doesn't swivel

    Metal swivel hook - swivel helps keep your badge facing forward

    Split ring - typically used with a strap clip or other attachment

    Trigger snap swivel hook - easy to attach your badge and keeps your badge facing forward
