A lanyard is a versatile strap or cord worn around the neck or wrist, designed to hold and display items like identification badges, keys, access cards, or small objects. Lanyards typically consist of a fabric or plastic strip with a clip, hook, or other attachment at the end to secure and carry items. They are commonly used in various settings, including workplaces, conferences, schools, and events, to keep essential items easily accessible while keeping hands free. Lanyards often feature custom logos, colors, or branding for identification and promotional purposes.
