A basic split-ring lanyard at 500 pcs runs ~$0.35; the same strap with badge reel and breakaway runs ~$0.75. Bundling matters: combined strap + attachment + printed holder pricing is in the <a href=\"\/custom-lanyards-pricing\/\">lanyards pricing guide<\/a>, and low-volume testing starts at our <a href=\"\/low-moq-promotional-products\/\">low MOQ promotional products<\/a> page.<\/p>\n<h2>Material Quality Checklist<\/h2>\n<p>Reject zinc attachments that flex when twisted \u2014 they crack at the gate. Ask for steel-gated hooks and pull-test reports (5kg minimum). Attachment failure mid-event is the most visible QC failure a lanyard can have; it is also the cheapest to prevent. Our factory runs 100% attachment pull-testing before packing.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<h3>Can attachments be swapped after delivery?<\/h3>\n<p>Most clip onto the strap loop, so yes \u2014 organizations keep a stock of spare hooks.<\/p>\n<h3>Is breakaway required by law?<\/h3>\n<p>In many school and industrial contexts yes; check local occupational safety rules. It is standard on our school orders.<\/h3>\n<h3>Which attachment is strongest?<\/h3>\n<p>Steel swivel hooks hold 8\u201315kg; badge reels fail first at the cord (~2kg rating).<\/h3>\n<h3>Do you stock attachments in brand colors?<\/h3>\n<p>Nylon attachments are dyeable to Pantone; metal attachments come plated in gold, silver, gunmetal and matte black.<\/h3>\n<div class=\"cta-box\">\n<p><strong>Get a firm quote in 24 hours.<\/strong> Send your artwork or idea and our engineering team will reply with pricing, MOQ and lead time. <a href=\"\/contact\/\">Request a quote<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lanyard attachment types decide what your lanyard can actually hold \u2014 and replacement attachments are the #1 reason event organizers reorder.
