It is obvious that todays world is different from what it once used to be. Rushing through the day has become a way of life and losing track of the small stuff has become part of that existence. The reality is, that without help, we will continue to lose and forget these minor, yet ever so important things. Fortunately for us, a number of clever inventors have come up with the perfect solution, which entails the use of a piece of string or fabric.

Made from quality materials like neoprene, rubber, vinyl, polyester, cotton or durable nylon, lanyards are cords worn around the neck for carrying something important or valuable. This can be a small object or a card holder. Beads, as well as plastic and ball chain, can also be used in the production of fashionable, yet less expensive lanyards.

Many people today wear lanyards. It is the easiest way to keep an important item handy. A lot of employees have to carry an identification card, children need a place to keep their house key, and a basketball referee needs his whistle handy. These are only a few examples of how handy this simple, yet effective, invention really can be.

People using lanyards will agree that they have many advantages. They are considered to be:

Light

Easy to put on and take off

Risk-free and will not damage clothes

Reasonably priced

Produced in a wide variety of colors and styles

Strong

Fashion plays an important part in every-day life. Lanyard manufactures realize that it is important to keep up with these trends and therefore, they will try to deliver products in various colors, lengths and thickness. Because of this goal, you will find lanyards for every occasion. Some are even retractable, making them ideal for ID card swiping, while others are as thin as a shoe lace. Unfortunately, if there is little material to work with, imprinting may become problematic for those clients who prefer their company name showing on the fabric. They may need to opt for a wider cotton model, or use color as an identifier.

Personalizing lanyards have become the latest craze in the business and sports world. They also come highly recommended by many other individuals, who use them for themselves, or their pet dog. Lanyards can also be spiced up by an array of funky accessories. Round or diamond-shaped sliders can adjust the length of your strap, and plastic holders will safely keep your ID badge, cell phone, or small object in place. They are the perfect extension of a gadget that will help the world to keep remembering…
