The Ultimate Showdown: Ribbon Vs. Beaded Lanyards
Since the very beginning of civilization, men and women have been trying to invent ways to improve their clothing in practical yet fashionable ways. What began with just two fig leaves worn for practical use, has grown into a multi-billion dollar industry, and the fashion future is bright. When you consider the amount of imagination, detail, and thought that goes into fashion and fashion accessories, you shouldn’t be surprised that even ID badge holders and security badges have their own set of accessories, such as: clips, reels, and ribbon and beaded lanyards for badges.
With the many accessories available for ID badges, one wonders which type of lanyard is better for their use; the ribbon or beaded lanyard.
Ribboned and Ready
Ribbons aren’t just the frilly bits of fabric worn in your hair, sewn into little white dresses, or used to wrap Christmas gifts. Ribbons are also what they call lanyards that can be embroidered or dyed in specific patterns, colors, or designs. Lanyard ribbons can be custom ordered for personal use, for use in businesses, companies, schools, or other locations that require people carry and present ID badges. The ribbon lanyard comes complete with badge clips on the ends that securely attach to the ID badge holders. Ribbon lanyards are a favorite among hospitals because they offer an economical way for medical professionals to secure ID cards while also adding panache to their wardrobe. Prominent display of an ID helps the staff stay organized and make sure that people are where they are supposed to be, and that they belong there in the first place.
Beaded and Beautiful
Beaded lanyards for badges can be a bit more expensive due to the cost of the beadsm and the detailed work required in assembly, but the cost is always worth it. Beaded lanyards come in a lot of different designs, color and bead shape patterns, and can be more colorful and fashionable than the ribbon lanyard. Beaded lanyards are especially in demand in schools for teachers, by college students, and by high school booster clubs (raising school spirit using fashionable school ID badge holders and lanyards). Beads have been around since man could form little balls from clay, but the modern bead is made from plastic, glass, metal, shells, pearls, and other semi-precious materials. If you’re willing to spend a little more, you can have a seriously sweet designer beaded lanyard.
And the Winner is…
The ribbon lanyard and the beaded lanyard for badges are both wonderful styles of lanyard, but there has to be a favorite—or does there? Lanyards are meant to be practical accessories for people who work hard and study hard, and want to keep close track of their ID badges. No one wants to lose something as important as their ID, and lanyards are perfectly designed to provide security and style to your wardrobe.
No matter which you prefer, you will get a great deal and you will enjoy wearing your badge accessories, even when you don’t have to.
