Custom lanyards have become essential items in the event industry. They not only allow you to display your event credentials, but they also represent a wonderful branding opportunity for businesses. If you opt for the right attachment, you can easily add functionality and safety features that will make your event custom lanyards stand out and, at the same time, will extend the life of the lanyard itself.
Lanyard attachments are available in a wide array of sizes and styles. These attachments allow us to hold almost anything that is light enough to hang around our necks: from a set of keys to a water bottle.
Below you can find a helpful guide to lanyard attachments.
Bulldog Clips
This type of attachments is widely used in the credentials industry for holding event badges that feature a horizontal slot in the centre top.
Bulldog clips are designed to hold the badge straight and make it lay flat against our clothing. However, bulldog clips are not versatile items. Unlike other types of attachments which can hold small electronics or keys, bulldog clips serve one single purpose.
Breakaway Lanyards
Simple and plain, breakaway lanyards were designed for safety purposes. If, for example, a lanyard is accidentally caught in a machine, it will simply snap off.
Another advantage is that breakaway lanyards can perfectly accommodate other types of attachments: from cell phone holders to bulldog clips.
Split Ring Attachments
Since they look like key rings, they can hold a wide variety of items. The main advantage of this attachment is that it can hold multiple items. The disadvantage is that ID badges will not sit completely straight. We are talking about one of the most versatile attachments.
J-Hooks
J-hooks are extremely useful and are available in a wide array of sizes. All you have to do is press the hook’s top part and slide your ID badge or event pass on.
Lobster Clasp
Lobster clasp are versatility attachments that can hold multiple attachments. One of its disadvantages is that the mechanism can wear out if used repeatedly. However, they are extremely useful.
Cell Phone Loops
This type of attachment is perfect for safely holding cell phones and keeping them handy. Many current cell phones feature a small slot on the top corner that is large enough for a cord to pass through.
Lanyards are long enough for their wearers to use their phones without having to detach them from the lanyard.
Water Bottle Holders
Water bottle holders are extremely easy to attach to lanyards, allowing you to stay hydrated while you are working out and, at the same time, keep your hands free.
This type of holders is usually made of a soft type of plastic which can be easily slipped over the necks of most water bottles.
