What is the purpose of a safety breakaway on a lanyard?
The safety breakaway, located at the back of the neck on the lanyard, is essential for preventing accidents. If the lanyard gets pulled or caught on something, the breakaway allows it to detach, preventing choking or injury to the wearer.
Why choose a clasp for your custom lanyards?
The clasp, located at the end of the lanyard, makes it easy to attach or detach items such as badge holders, keychains, phone holders, or bottle holders. This feature turns your lanyard into a versatile, practical tool that meets a variety of needs and preferences.
⚠️ Don't confuse the safety breakaway with the clasp. The safety breakaway, typically located at the back of the neck, allows the lanyard to quickly release under tension, ensuring the wearer's safety. The clasp, on the other hand, is found at the end of the lanyard and is used to attach or detach various items like a badge, keychain, or phone.
Why add a detachable clip to a lanyard cord?
The detachable clip is an essential feature located at the end of the lanyard. Its purpose is to make it easy to separate the cord from the attached item — whether it's a badge holder, keychain, phone, or bottle holder. This feature lets the user quickly access the attached item without having to remove the entire lanyard.
