You should also specify the length of the lanyard. The material used can be selected using cost and durability from a range of synthetic and natural options. Polyester and cotton weave being a standard choice.
- Q: What is a Cord Lanyard?
  A: The primary material making up a cord lanyard are synthetic materials such as nylon and polyester. This is the most basic of lanyards and is sold blank or with a custom imprinted label sewn to a poly web strap. The cord is 4.76mm (3/16") wide with a solid core (no flimsy cord lanyards here). The material is hot cut to 91.44cm (36") length producing a finished length of 44.45cm (17.5").
  
  Applying a metal crimp to the end that also forms the smaller loop at the bottom that holds the hardware forms the large loop that goes around your head. In order to make safety cord lanyards we use male/female plastic tubular connectors that are affixed to both hot cut ends. All cords come standard with a slide size adjuster bead. Metal hardware attachment choices include: swivel, split-ring and alligator clip.
- Q: What are Nylon Lanyards?
  A: Nylon lanyards are available in 9.52mm (3/8") or 19.05mm (3/4") widths. The starting cut length is 91.44cm (36") resulting in a finished length of 17.5". Woven nylon is both durable and very comfortable to wear. The main loop of Nylon Lanyards is formed by stitching the bottom (bar tack) on an industrial sewing machine. The bar tack holds the lanyard firmly together while attaching the hardware at the bottom. Available metal hardware attachment choices include: swivel, split-ring and alligator clip. Optional breakaway connectors are available to form Safety Nylon Lanyards.
  
  The connectors are made from durable black plastic and are flat for added comfort. They function via a male-female connection mechanism that comes apart when pressure is exerted on the lanyard and is reusable. All styles of Nylon Lanyards are available either blank or with a single colour custom imprint. You have the choice of either having repeat your design around the lanyard or have it appear once on the left and right side. You can also print one design on the right and different design on the left.
