Custom Breakaway Lanyards with Safety Release Clasps

A breakaway lanyard has a plastic clasp at the back of the neck that pops apart when the strap is yanked or snagged. That small part is why schools, hospitals, manufacturing floors and event security teams ask for them: a badge cord should never hold someone against a moving machine or a grabbing hand.


We carry eight breakaway styles, mostly polyester, from a basic 3/4 inch strap with a swivel lobster clip to a reflective strap in recycled polyester and a full color ID pouch lanyard made from recycled PET.


Styles and Small Details

  • Reflective strap: a 1 inch recycled polyester band that catches headlights, useful for parking crews, crossing guards and night shifts.
  • ID pouch lanyard: recycled PET printed in full color, with a pouch that holds a badge, a room key or a few cards.
  • Detachable buckle: a monochrome strap whose lower end unclips, so a badge can be scanned or handed over without lifting the cord off.
  • 18 and 22 inch lengths: a shorter flat panel strap and a longer clip style let you decide how low the card hangs.
  • Screen printed logos: seven of the eight are screen printed in solid colors, which keeps text crisp on a narrow strap.


Match the strap color to your uniforms, or choose the reflective or recycled options if your safety or sustainability policy asks for them. Breakaway models start at $0.98. A small clinic can order 100 straps of some styles, while others begin at 400 for stadium sized crews, and the straps take 10 to 14 days to make.

Frequently Asked Questions

A breakaway lanyard has a plastic safety connector that pops open when the strap is pulled hard, so the wearer is not held if it snags on a door handle, machine or a grabbing hand. That is why hospitals, schools, care homes, factories and security teams often require them. The connector snaps back together, so the lanyard keeps working afterward.

Prices start around $0.98 for the overseas-made dye sublimated style and reach about $5.53 for the Rally ID pouch lanyard in recycled PET. Most screen printed breakaway styles fall between $1.39 and $2.88, including the Hang In There series and a reflective version.

Breakaway styles open at anywhere from 100 to 400 pieces, so a clinic or school office can pick a style whose starting quantity matches its headcount and keep a few spares for new hires. Setup charges range from $55 to $90.

You can choose a 3/4 inch strap, such as the breakaway style with a swivel lobster clip, or a 1 inch strap, such as the Hang In There breakaway and the reflective recycled style. Length options include an 18 inch flat panel lanyard and the 22 inch Hang In There Plus. Wider straps leave more room for a long company name.

Yes. The reflective lanyard in recycled polyester is 1 inch wide and helps the wearer stand out in low light, which suits road crews, parking staff and evening events. Two products in this group use recycled materials, one is PVC free, and one includes a zippered pocket for small essentials.

Production runs from 10 to 14 days after artwork approval, depending on the style. Seven of the eight lanyards carry a screen printed logo and one, the Rally ID pouch style, is printed in full color. Order early when badges must be ready for a set start date.
