Badge lanyards have many uses and are now regularly used as an alternative to clips or pins, and can even hold other promotional items such as a USB drive, store rewards card or other identification. They can be as unobtrusive as a thin elastic cord attached to a plastic badge, or a genuine collectible item with your colors and logo woven in permanently to the ID lanyards.

For event security, nothing beats the combination of a printed badge holder attached to one of the promotional neck cords. Both are difficult to duplicate and are immediately recognizable to the people check id's at entrances. Another advantage of having your own custom cords to hold id is that you can offer sponsorships to your corporate partners. You will be able to have a professional id package without any additional expense, and your sponsor will gain the brand recognition as your recipient wears the neck lanyards around the event and around the office.

While a ½" cotton lanyard is a popular cord and style, you can also select from thinner and thicker varieties. Some are made from recycled plastics that, thanks to new technology, are both comfortable when worn around the neck and are also a wise choice for an eco-friendly neck lanyard.
