Choose lanyards and badge holders for their intended use
A name badge at an exhibition, a visitor pass at reception or an access card at work: a suitable holder makes identification easier to wear and keep close at hand. Start with how the badge will be used and which attachment suits the situation.
Lanyard, card holder or retractable badge reel?
- Lanyards: For wearing ID cards, name badges or keys around the neck. Strap width, material and closures influence comfort and branding options.
- Card and badge holders: For holding an ID badge or card. Check card dimensions, orientation and the connection to the strap or clip.
- Retractable badge reels: For cards regularly presented to a reader. Extension length, retraction mechanism and attachment should suit the intended use.
Plan the badge and attachment together
Will the card be worn vertically or horizontally? Does it have a suitable attachment slot, or does it need an additional sleeve? A hook, clip or loop will not fit every design. We help you coordinate the available components.
Consider comfort and closures
For extended wear, strap material, width and the weight of the attached item matter. A detachable buckle may be convenient for certain uses. If a breakaway closure is required, we check the chosen model’s features alongside your workplace or event requirements.
Place your logo on the strap or holder
Customisation options depend on the product. A lanyard can carry a repeated logo or message, while a badge reel offers a compact branding area. We advise you on printing methods, colours and legible artwork. Single-sided or double-sided printing options are checked for the selected strap.
For employees, visitors and events
At a trade show, coordinated lanyards can complement the team’s appearance. Different strap colours can help organise visitor identification. For everyday work, convenience and repeated use may take priority. Together, we select a solution that suits your occasion, quantity and budget.
