Lanyards for ID badges: choosing the right hook and holder
An ID badge lanyard is worn every day, so comfort, a secure attachment and a clean print matter. This guide helps you pick the right combination for your team.

The right attachment for your badge
A dog clip or lobster clip is the classic choice: it holds a badge holder or key securely and is easy to open. A crocodile clip attaches directly to a card or clothing without a holder.
For ski passes and access cards that you scan often, a skipass reel with a metal hook makes it easy to pull the card out and let it retract.
Safety buckle for healthcare and education
In hospitals, care homes, schools and production environments a safety break is recommended. The buckle opens when the lanyard is pulled hard, which prevents injuries.
You can add a black or white safety break in the configurator, combined with any width and print.
A professional look for the office
For daily office use, a 15 or 20 mm lanyard with a full-colour print of your logo looks tidy and is comfortable around the neck.
Choose a single-sided print for a subtle look, or print both sides so your logo is always visible.
