Shop Wholesale Lanyards

Aside from features such as standard vs. custom, earth-friendly, breakaway, reflective, and anti-microbial, there are style variations to consider when selecting your lanyards. These include cord shape (round or flat), lanyard cord width, adjustable cord length, color (including solid, multicolor, or patterned), and attachment type. To help determine which style of lanyard is best for your needs, let’s take a look at some of the main options:

• 1/8'' round - thinnest option and best for one-time use, such as conferences, trade shows, and events
• 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, also the smallest width advised for custom printed lanyards (5/8” or wider is better)
• 5/8'' flat - a great-looking choice for lanyards that will be worn every day, also an ideal width for displaying printed text or design on a custom lanyard

The breakaway feature releases the lanyard from the neck when it's pulled, eliminating the risk of choking, as well as the risk of other bodily harm that can result from a lanyard getting caught in operating machinery. Breakaway lanyards are ideal for schools, childcare facilities, nursing homes, manufacturing facilities or factories, dental offices, or anywhere else safety is a priority.
