A lanyard is a versatile and functional accessory, typically made of fabric, nylon, or other durable materials, designed to be worn around the neck, wrist, or shoulder. It is often used to hold items like keys, ID badges, or electronic devices, providing easy access and hands-free convenience.

Lanyards are popular in workplaces, schools, events, and conventions where identification or access cards are required. They come in various colors, patterns, and designs, and can be customized with logos, slogans, or personal artwork. Lanyards often feature clips or hooks to securely hold the attached items, and some include safety breakaway mechanisms for added security.
