Beads offers a line of lanyards for a variety of uses. The decorative necklaces are a common little tool, but they are useful in a lot of different settings - at work, camping, sporting events, and more. You've probably seen local government workers and corporate employees using them to keep their security IDs close at hand. Another great thing about wearing ID badges is that they keep your identification cards available at security checkpoints, and they won't ruin your work clothes like pins and clips sometimes do. They are also a very practical way of keeping things like flash drives, pens, portable mp3 players and video recorders easily accessible. Corporate staff and government employees are not the only people that benefit from using the cords. They are also seen at sporting events, and they are used by team officials and fans alike. When made with your team's colors, they are a great way for you to cheer on your favorite teams and players. You can also use it for keeping your ticket stubs, passes, and other documents on your person. If you've ever been stopped by security and asked to show your passes while holding ice cold drinks and snacks, you know that lanyards can be a lifesaver. Large conference organizers put them to use too. They can use identifying cards with different colored cords and beads to help security personnel determine who gets access to restricted areas. For example, if someone with a blue badge tries to gain access to an area that is only open to people with yellow badges, security can identify the risk and take care of the situation. We live in such a fast-paced world that it's too easy sometimes to forget things because we get distracted. Have you ever forgotten your keys, pen or cell phone because you set them down somewhere while you dug through your purse or wallet? If you could keep them around your neck at all the time, you would always know right where they were. These might seem like just minor inconveniences, but even the small things can add to our overall stress. Beads are especially helpful if you're on exploring a new area or campsite, because they keep your compass or GPS equipment close by. It can be scary if you lose your tracking equipment and sense of direction. Losing your camping knife can be a real setback too. The great thing about using the neck cords is that they can secure just about anything. Vacationers benefit from using this tool as well for holding personal items like cell phones, cameras, iPods and other mp3 players, flash drives, and anything else you might need. Lanyards are great for everyday use and are designed to be durable. Look for lanyards crafted of multiple strands of stainless steel wiring. Many cords are also sold with a free clear plastic pocket that you can use for holding and employee identification card or ticket stub.
