Lanyards: A closer look
Remember Lanyards? that bit of rope worn around the neck or wrist to carry important items. Usually to ensure the item is seen all the time and not lost or dropped. Or Maybe your thinking of “Boondoggle” The plaiting and knotting craft that originated in Europe as a kids activity during the early 1950’s which I might add is still very popular in summer camps and kids scouts.


Lanyards also refer to rigging straps used to secure objects aboard ships and transport vehicles.
But these are not the lanyards we are referring to today! the lanyard item I am talking about is the Promotional Lanyard; a flat strap made usually out of polyester or nylon and printed up with all kinds of fantastic graphics and designs aimed at displaying a corporations brand or logo.
Yes lanyards are making a comeback, with so many uses and customisation options they can be created for use in security at concerts, or to carry the keys to your Toyota!
With increased miniaturisation of electronic items, lanyards will also play an integral role in keeping these items safe from dropping, or breaking apart. Even the Nintendo Wii uses a kind of lanyard to attach to the users hand to prevent the consoles controller being flung across the room. There are serious roles associated with lanyards as well, where a company may choose not to have a logo emblazoned across a material length but rather a careful selection of colours and clips to identify staff and security personnel. Even lifeguards use Lanyards nowadays, because life guard uniforms do not incorporate pockets for a whistle or special life preserving items; lanyards automatically become a crucial accessory for lifesaving.

Lanyards, wristbands and bracelets are just some of the customized items are just come items that many promotional firms will be carrying in their portfolio.
Whether you are looking to promote your company with promotional give-aways, enhance your professional image with the company logo on security identity tags, compliment your own product line with your name or message on a customized lanyard or silicone wristband, or have some fun slap bracelets to promote a sports event or awareness campaign, Lanyards are able to be customizeed specifications. No matter what the job may entail.
