The best attachment depends on how your ID is used: standard clips suit most everyday needs, while specialist attachments improve security or convenience for specific roles. Choosing the right fitting ensures your card stays secure and easy to access.
Lanyard attachments play an important role in how practical and secure your lanyards are. Choosing the right clip or fitting ensures ID cards, keys or passes are held safely and are easy to use throughout the day.
If you’re reviewing attachment options, you can explore our full range of lanyards to see which fittings are available.
There are several common attachment types used with lanyards. Metal hooks are durable and suitable for holding ID cards or passes securely. Plastic clips offer a lightweight option for everyday use, while trigger clips provide extra security for heavier items.
The best choice depends on what will be attached to the lanyard and how often it will be removed.
Badge holders are often used alongside lanyards to protect ID cards from damage. They keep cards visible while preventing bending or wear, making them popular in workplaces, schools and healthcare settings.
Many custom lanyards and printed lanyards can be supplied with badge holders to create a complete identification solution.
Attachments should not interfere with safety features such as breakaway clasps. Most attachment types can be combined with breakaway lanyards without affecting performance.
This allows organisations to prioritise safety while still choosing practical fittings.
The right attachment depends on how the lanyard will be used. For simple ID display, lightweight clips may be sufficient. For keys or access cards used frequently, stronger fittings may be more appropriate.
