Step 2: Choose from the different materials

It’s important to choose the right material for your lanyard depending on the use and the message you wish to convert. Choosing one material rather than another can be an opportunity to highlight your company or event.

Polyester: used for most lanyards, this material offers the advantage of being resistant over time. Polyester can have several aspects:

• Flat: flat polyester (or ribbed polyester) will allow your lanyards to remain discreet and will fit all types of clothing. Flat lanyards are also available with a satin finish, which will add shine and elegance.
• Tube: modernity is the main advantage of this material. With its lace-like appearance, this material is one of today’s trends. With its softness and elegance, your tubular lanyards are pleasant to wear in all circumstances.
• Round: this material offers the advantage that your lanyards are thin and light to wear. Your users will hardly feel it around their neck.

Ecological materials: ecology is becoming more and more important and many organizations are committed to an eco-friendly approach. This is why, we offer a complete collection of lanyards made from environmentally friendly materials. You can choose between 100% recycled PET, 100% biodegradable bamboo and untreated cotton to obtain lanyards in line with your ecological approach. Moreover, each lanyard of this range is accompanied by a nickel-free hook: these lanyards are perfected to the requirements of an eco-friendly approach.

Silicone: very quick and easy to clean, silicone is the best material to avoid the transmission of bacteria. Your lanyards will not deteriorate over time despite repeated washing. Clean and reuse your lanyards without fear of transmitting bacteria to your visitors or staff. Silicone ensures that your lanyards are always hygienic.

Step 3: Add options according to your needs

The safety system: this is the essential element to have on your lanyard to guarantee the safety of the wearer. Thanks to the anti-strangulation system (breakaway), the lanyard will automatically detach itself in case of excessive tension. You will avoid dangerous situations and eliminate the risk of accidental choking. For daily use, it’s strongly recommended to use lanyards with this safety system.

The detachable buckle: Do you want your lanyards to be even more practical and easy to use?
