Lanyards 101
Materials
The material you chose for your lanyard can impact more than just comfort, strength and decoration options. Sue Tobias, MAS and MASI, senior vice president of sales for Fields Manufacturing/TARGETLINE, St. Cloud, Minn., provided some examples.
"We do special lanyards, such as an anti-microbial lanyard, which is great for the medical field as it is coated and thus inhibits the growth of germs and kills odor-causing bacteria," she said. She also mentioned reflective lanyards, which she explained were useful for employees working late-night shifts, as well as for children who may be walking after dark, say for Halloween or a field trip. She also noted the option for wholly different materials that can give a different look, such as a bead lanyard for clients who are looking for a more festive look.
