Choosing the card lanyard that is right for you can be a difficult task. There are so many different cardholder options to choose from! It’s essential to consider your personal preferences, but certain factors should not be ignored when making this decision. This article will cover all of these considerations to help you find the perfect cardholder for you.
1) What is a card lanyard?
It is a cardholder that attaches to your wrist or neck using either an adjustable strap, keyring, or carabiner. It offers quick and easy access to the cards you use most often while on the go.
2) Who should get these lanyards?
Any individual who needs easy access to their card credentials will benefit from owning a cardholder. For example, these are great for anyone in marketing (credit card swipers), IT support (door fobs), food service (health inspection badges), nursing/medicine (hospital ID badge), etc. They also make good giveaways at trade shows because they leave your hands free for presentation materials!
3) What criteria should I consider when choosing my lanyard?
There are several factors to consider when choosing card holder lanyards. First, check the size of your cards and make sure you order one with either an adjustable strap or that can fit multiple card sizes (gigantic credit card-sized physical security tokens will not fit in most cardholders). Also, consider how long you want the lanyard to be since shorter ones keep your cards closer to your chest. In comparison, longer ones allow for more flexibility. Finally, if it’s just going on a keyring, consider whether you need quick release capability so taking off isn’t difficult/impossible.
4) What types of cardholder lanyard styles are available?
Cardholders come in two basic styles: retractable badge reels or stretchy cardholders.
Retractable badge reels are great for those who need to swipe their card often, don’t want to carry a bulky cardholder in their pocket or purse, and need the card within arms to reach at all times (e.g., receptionist, front desk staff). A retractable reel typically features either an integrated D-ring. It can also be easily attached to your belt loop or pants clip or has a separate metal D-ring that allows you to connect it directly to these objects and others, such as door access cards. If you’re looking for convenience, this is the best choice since once unspooled, no part of the cord should ever get tangled; however, if losing small items like keys is an issue, make sure that the card is securely attached your belt loop or pants clip.
