Key lanyards can be worn on the neck, wrist, arm or waist. They are a great alternative for retail employees, or those who are on the go and frequently misplace their car keys or office keys. While they were originally designed to carry name badges and ID cards for security access in high traffic buildings, they have now been made for use that is more conventional. From stylish designs to a more custom lanyard containing a company logo, there are many options and styles to choose from to suit your lanyard needs.
The key lanyard is a great choice for students, business employees, government offices, factory workers, military, trade shows, exhibits, hospital employees, hotels, restaurants, churches, airport security and many more vocations. The keychain lanyard can be used to carry any different type of key imagined. Printing companies will also offer personalized prints, with a variety of attachment options for better functionality. For larger corporations, key lanyards can be purchased in bulk as a promotional giveaway for clients or uniform requirement for employees.
Easily adjustable neck lanyards give attachments to carry your keys all the way to your badge. For those with style in mind, the durable synthetic material can be designed with happy faces or a more historical army print. The metal key ring attachment makes it perfect to hang your most important keys from your neck. Other keychain options include the beaded lanyard, for the look of a necklace with more purpose. The webbing or straps come in a variety of lengths to fit any male or female, from 12 inches ranging all the way to 48 inches. Lengths can even be customized for half sizes.
Lanyard straps are typically constructed of high quality and durable polyester webbing that is wrinkle proof. The straps are those that can come in traditional colors or non-traditional prints, depending on your style. Standard hardware attachments include an easily adjustable nickel colored swivel hook that will not hurt your fingers to insert or remove keys. There are also optional hardware options such as heavy duty hooks that come in nickel, black nickel, antique brass or gold colors. In addition to this add-on, there are safety breakaway buckles that can be built into the webbing for easier access.
There are also key lanyards designed to be worn on the wrist. These items are also made of flat webbing material and a swivel key ring, and are great for males. Just like the neck model, they can be customized with prints, logos, or names and phone numbers. Also, consider adding double hardware attachments to carry not only keys but also other important belongings such as cell phones or mobile devices.
Even though lanyards are commonly used throughout businesses by employees, they are also a great promotional tool. Studies find that advertising is far more effective when consumers see a company’s logo and contact information. The contact information and business name can be easily printed on a webbing strap and given away at trade shows, EXPOs or even to customers who frequently visit your business. This is perhaps the most affordable and successful form of advertising as polls show that consumers keep items such as chip clips and lanyards for no less then one year. One year of free advertising at the cost of a lanyard is not bad, and displays you company to all friends and family, along with keeping the business on the mind of your current customer.
Whether you are a business promoting your service, or you are offering lanyards as a convenient alternative to bulky purses and bags, lanyard keychains are a cheap and safe solution. Many companies manufacture these items at wholesale prices and will even customize designs.
