Blank Lanyards: The Unsung Heroes Of The Lanyard World

Blank lanyards can fulfill many roles in the workplace, from enhancing security to keeping small tools conveniently close for the workers who use them. Their versatility is just about unmatched.

Unlike custom printed lanyards, blank lanyards don’t serve a secondary promotional purpose of any kind. Truth be told, they’re a pretty nondescript – some would say boring – product. No one’s ever going to be lining up outside an office supply store for the hot new model of blank lanyards.

What blank lanyards do, and do economically, is their intended purpose of keeping key cards, I.D. badges and other small items convenient and visible, making sure that such items don’t get lost. If that’s all you need them to do, blank lanyards are an ideal choice.

With more and more employers, schools and other organizations concerned about security, blank lanyards have an important role to play in the security of many workplaces and public buildings. Blank lanyards are one of the most convenient ways to keep I.D. badges readily visible and keep them conveniently out of the way at the same time.

Blank lanyards aren’t just useful for holding I.D. or key cards, however. With the proper attachments, many small items such as water bottles, flash drives, cell phones or cameras also can be attached to lanyards. Either blank lanyards or custom lanyards allow the wearers to have necessary tools or accessories close at hand when needed. They’re a great way to carry small items and keep the hands free for other jobs.

Custom printed lanyards, unlike blank lanyards, are outstanding marketing tools. Lanyards imprinted with a logo or text message on them showcases brand identity and helps identify organization members. But for those who don’t need such a function, blank lanyards, available at a lower cost, can do the job.

Blank lanyards also are a good choice for organizations that don’t want to attract attention to the I.D. badges. Blank lanyards don’t have any identifying information on them, so if they’re coupled with coded I.D. badges or key cards, they won’t reveal the workplace or other organization if they are lost or stolen. For some high-security applications, this layer of privacy is essential.

On a lighter note, blank lanyards are economical enough for businesses to order for single-use events. The lanyards can be donated to charitable organizations afterward for reuse.

Blank lanyards are perfect for organizations that need a simple way to hold I.D. cards and other small items, but don’t need or want to promote their organization or products on the lanyards. For organizations that choose to promote their message, product or brand more extensively, custom printed lanyards will be a better choice.

Both blank lanyards and custom printed ones are available in a variety of materials. Tubular polyester lanyards are the most economical choice. Flat polyester balances performance and price. It’s no wonder flat polyester lanyards are the most popular style. Woven polyester lanyards offer a classic professional look. Nylon lanyards are the highest quality blank lanyards or custom lanyards available.
