When it comes to lanyard clips there is a wide array of options to choose from. Most items come with a few types of holders for diverse use. You can also have the holders customized for you, depending on what you plan to carry. The most common types of holders are hooks, rings, straps, and clips. Each one can hold different items, which we will discuss below.
Hooks: These come in two main varieties – spring and swivel hooks. They are typically made of metal, such as stainless steel or nickel. A spring hook is used as a connecting link for objects with a loop; it looks like a bracket with a spring clip. Swivel hooks are the same as spring hooks, except for they also swivel. If you need to rotate your badge or ID, then it’s best to choose a swivel hook rather than a plain spring hook.
Rings: The lanyard rings are regular split rings that can be used with a keychain or ID badge with a hole. The rings are typically made of stainless steel or other durable metals. If you want to carry your card or badge without the badge holder, then it’s probably best to opt for lanyard clips rather than rings. This is due to the fact that many cards do not have a hole in them.
Straps: The straps are meant for holding a badge holder, which has a slit in its plastic surface. The straps will typically have two snap buttons, so that you can put the strap through the slit of the plastic holder, and then secure it by snapping the buttons together. The straps can be used with both, vertical and horizontal plastic badge holders (some lanyards come with holders included, wile others come separately). If the accessory is only equipped with a strap, it may limit the choice of items that you can carry on it.
Clips: The lanyard clips are a popular option for ID cards and keycards. Not only can you clip the card to the lanyard conveniently, but you can also unclip it to swipe it through a card reader. If the card reader is hard to reach, the clips are probably the best option of holders that you can choose. Other types of holders would make you have to bend or stretch to reach the card readers with your card (unless the item has a retractable cord).
In terms of usability, retractable lanyards are one of the most convenient. No matter what you carry on them, you can pull the cord out to reach hard to reach places. When you let go, the cord will automatically retract and place the item where it belongs on your neck. Provided that the held item is light enough for the cord, you will never have to worry about dropping it on the floor.
Many lanyards come with a few holders for added versatility. You can find items that incorporate all of the aforementioned holders, including a hook, ring, strap, and clip. Some of the designs also have a retractable reel for additional convenience. Separate lanyard clips can allow you to carry the accessory on your vest or Dress is pocket.
