Access/ID badges
Those that work in corporate America have to display their ID and credentials for those within the building as well as security when entering the premises. This is done for security and consistency to allow anyone at a glance to see who should be on the work site or not.
Public and Private Schools
To help insure the security of the children at school the lanyards that our schools use are colorful and printed with the school mascot. They help to also create a sense of school spirit since they are printed in the school colors. The printer ribbon used to create the ID cards on site can be customized so that each school and various levels of personnel can be identified quickly and easily.

Corporate Marketing and Promo at Trade shows
Companies use lanyards as a way to build brand awareness and promotional gifts by customizing these handy devices with the company logo or new brand tag line. Since most people will find uses for them outside of the conference that they receive this free item the recall and recognition that you get is quite impressive.!
