What is Lanyard: A lanyard is a type of strap or string that is used to carry items (for example IDs, Pen Drive, Keys) around your neck. They are often very colorful and can be found in many businesses, schools, and organisations. A lanyard is usually made from thin metal wire that is then encased in plastic. The plastic casing protects the metal wire from getting damaged and it also secures the item being held by the lanyard to your body. Lanyards can be hung around different parts of your body or simply worn around your wrist like a bracelet when you’re ready to take it off with ease. They are the product that many office workers wear to show their ID badges.
