Lanyard accessories can help you to get the most out of your lanyards, whether it’s protecting those all-important ID badges or making sure your lanyards have a safety break. In this section, we’ll go through some of the different types of accessories you may need for your lanyards and what they can do.
Our lanyards come with a standard trigger clip, but in many cases, adding an accessory makes them even more efficient. The reason for this is simple: lanyards are designed to be hung around the neck, but to hold items like ID cards and security passes, they often need to be attached to an accessory such as a clip, reel or card holder. We provide these lanyard accessories for a small extra fee.
Depending on the items you’re going to be hanging from your lanyard, you may find one of the following extremely useful:
One of our most widely used lanyard accessories. Card holders come in two forms: plastic transparent wallets which can protect ID badges and name cards, and solid plastic card holders. Our card holders are available in several different sizes to suit your needs.
A retractable reel means that your badge can be pulled away from you at a distance, making it ideal for situations where you need to produce an ID badge on demand, and show it for verification. Reels can also be used on their own, without a lanyard, and can be easily clipped to pockets instead.
Whether it’s a mobile phone clip, a crocodile clip or a safety clip, our range of clips can help you to get the most out of your lanyards and make them even more versatile.

A lanyard can be used to hang just about anything from around the neck, but one of the most common items we get asked for at Lanyards Direct are lanyards for holding ID badges and name cards. Our range of lanyard card holders is designed to help you do just that, easily and with no fuss involved. In this section, we’ll go through the different card holders or ID badge holders available at Lanyards Direct.
Lanyards do an excellent job of holding cards and badges, with the help of a trusty accessory: the holder. ID badge holders, or card holders as they’re sometimes called, are used to hold and protect these documents, making sure they hang safely from the neck without being torn or damaged. Because let’s face it: a torn or damaged card looks unprofessional and is no good to anyone.
Our ID card holders are made from solid plastic that’s durable and strong. Designed with a special frame holder, they provide amazing support and protection for your ID cards so that they won’t break, snap in half or get damaged in any way. They give a professional look and feel that adds the finishing touch to your lanyards. The specially integrated holes at the top mean that you can clip your lanyard to the holder quickly and easily – and just like that, you’re good to go. Need to remove or change or ID card? Easy – simply slip out the card horizontally whenever you need to.
Our card holder wallets are made with high quality transparent plastic to protect your name cards or badges from the elements. No more having to replace cards due to damage – these wallets will envelope them in a protective seal. All of your information will still be displayed clearly with no need to remove the card unless you want to.

Have you considered getting a retractable lanyard? Making your lanyards retractable with a simple reel accessory is easy. Read on to find out exactly what a reel does and how it can help.
When you add reels to your lanyards, they become extendable, making them super easy to use. Reels are ideal for extending ID badges and name cards that need to be shown on demand. Simply pull on your badge and it will come away from the lanyard, making it easy to hold up for inspection.
Reels are also perfect for businesses that use swipe cards, as they can be easily pulled away from the body to swipe them through security devices. The reel is retractable, so the swipe card will immediately return to its original position when you let go.
Our reels can also be used on their own, without a lanyard. Simple attach your badge to the reel and clip it to your pocket, overalls or bag. You can then pull the badge away to be shown or swiped on demand. Simple!
