Blank Lanyards Are Convenient, Cost-Effective And Easy To Order

Blank lanyards are not exactly the most exciting business tools in the world. They don’t offer flashy graphics, pithy messages or custom logos. But blank lanyards fulfill the basic function of holding small items securely just as well as their custom imprinted counterparts at a more economical cost.

If you need lanyards to hold I.D. badges, key cards, flash drives, pens or other small items, blank lanyards and custom ones work both work equally well. Custom imprinted lanyards are not essential to the basic lanyard tasks. Blank lanyards perform all the required functions.

The one area where blank lanyards lose ground to custom lanyards is in the realm of marketing and promotions. Custom lanyards offer the opportunity to convey a message that blank lanyards bypass in favor of a lower price.

There’s no denying the usefulness of lanyards in general for many purposes in the workplace. Either blank lanyards or custom lanyards enable employees, students, vendors and visitors to keep I.D. badges visible. Blank lanyards and custom ones alike can hold key cards and small tools conveniently, and keep their wearers’ hands free for necessary jobs at the same time.

Both blank lanyards and custom ones can be equipped for any type of lanyard-related task. Accessories such as bulldog clips, badge holders and key rings can be attached to either custom or blank lanyards.

The difference comes down to whether you want to display a marketing or other message on your lanyards. Custom printed lanyards, unlike blank lanyards, can feature a company slogan, logo or brand printed onto the lanyards. That gives custom lanyards a marketing edge that blank lanyards just can’t match.

Blank lanyards also can’t match custom lanyards in promoting team loyalty and school spirit. Custom lanyards printed with the school logo, mascot or team name help bring students, faculty and staff together in the name of school and team spirit. Blank lanyards work just as well to carry the required I.D. badges that are the reason for needing the lanyards, but just don’t provide the school spirit-boosting function.

Some businesses choose custom lanyards for marketing purposes. The businesses use messages and logos imprinted on custom lanyards to provide a subtle reinforcement of their marketing message to customers. Blank lanyards don’t provide that reinforcement to the customers, but many businesses also select them because they are cost-effective for the intended purpose.

Safety breakaways are a must, whether using either blank lanyards or custom ones. These reusable devices are a free option from all top-quality lanyard suppliers and provide a level of wearer safety that shouldn’t be ignored. The breakaway devices are designed to snap free, allowing the custom or blank lanyards to pull free of the wearer’s neck if the lanyards are pulled, snagged, or caught in running machinery. The breakaway allows the lanyard to be pulled loose before the wearer can be injured. Especially in an industrial setting, these simple, no-cost options can quite literally be a lifesaver when attached to custom or blank lanyards.

Both custom and blank lanyards have their place. Either can offer the utility of lanyards, but custom lanyards offer, at an increased cost, an additional marketing or promotional presence. The choice of custom or blank lanyards is up to the buyer.
