Lanyards generally are constructed with variations of polyester, nylon or plastic. Satin polyester lanyards are one of the most popular materials used for lanyards because they are lightweight yet durable, and offer a smooth, shiny finish. Grosgrain polyester lanyards are very strong and feature small ribs or ridges across the lanyard. Tubular lanyards have a slimmer width, while providing durability and comfort. Tubular polyester lanyards are an affordable way to stand out from the crowd with their shoe-lace-like resemblance.
