Introduction
With so many different accessories on the site, it can be difficult to pick the right one. Each accessory serves a different purpose and may have a different use, so here’s an explanation of each accessory and who might get the most use out of it.
Lanyards
This is the most standard type of ID accessory for displaying an ID somewhere where you may also need to hold other items. ID Creator has a large selection of lanyards for every purpose. Lanyards come in all different styles, including breakaway, rhinestone decorated, and more! Many of our lanyards come with swivel clips that can hold a variety of different badge holders and accessories. Lobster clasps are somewhat smaller and heavier. Lanyards are also nice because they are cheap and easy to order in bulk.
Breakaway vs. Standard Lanyard
A Standard lanyard is a cord with a clip or clasp at the end for attaching ID holders, slotted cards, keys, and more!
Breakaway lanyards are used in the same way and offer greater safety in busy workplaces such as daycare's and schools. If pressure is applied to the lanyard or it is suddenly pulled, it will break apart instead of causing choking or injury. The lanyard is easy to clip back together.
Flat vs. Round Strap
