Black, ready to wear

Security lanyards

Security lanyards are a black strap with the word Security already printed on it. You give them to the people looking after a venue or a site, so the room can see who that is. There is no minimum. They can often leave Melbourne the same day if you order before 3pm. You can order Security lanyards from us, or ask for a quote if you need a logo instead of that word.

In short

The word Security is already on a black strap. You do not send artwork, and you do not wait for a print run.
There is no minimum. Order one, or enough for the team on the night.
The buckle at the back of the neck opens if the strap is pulled hard. That is what people mean when they ask which lanyard is safest. Breakaway lanyards covers that buckle.
If you order before 3pm, they can often leave the same day. Pickup from our Melbourne office is possible if you are local.
If you want a logo instead of the word Security, that is a custom lanyard.

The black strap

You put this one on the people who are looking after the building or the event. The strap is black, and the word Security is already printed. From a few metres away, nobody has to ask who they are.

The clip at the bottom holds a card if you use one. A lot of sites clip an ID on, and a lot of venues just use the word on the strap.

What safest means

When people ask which lanyard is the safest, they usually mean the buckle at the back of the neck, not a thicker strap or a particular brand. If the lanyard catches on a door or a person pulls it, the buckle opens and the strap comes off. We put that buckle on this Security strap, and on the other words we keep ready.

If you need a wrist, not a neck

A lanyard sits on the chest. If you need to see a colour on a wrist from a few metres away, that is a different job. Start with event wristbands and we will tell you which band to use.

FAQs

What is a security lanyard?+

It is a black neck strap with the word Security already printed on it, so people can see who is looking after the venue or the site. It has a clip for a card, and a buckle at the back that opens if the strap is pulled hard.

Which type of lanyard is the safest?+

The safest everyday lanyard is one with a buckle at the back of the neck that opens when it is pulled. That is the breakaway buckle. Brand names do not matter as much as that buckle actually letting go.

What can I use instead of a lanyard?+

If you need a colour on the wrist that staff can see from a few metres away, use event wristbands. If you still need a name or a card on the chest, stay with a lanyard.
