Safety clasp
Breakaway lanyards
A breakaway lanyard has a clasp that pops open if someone yanks the strap. Schools and workplaces ask for it so an ID around the neck cannot become a choke point. Tell us you need that clasp when you order. We will include it with the print.

In short
- The strap is still a printed lanyard. The clasp is the extra: it comes apart under a sharp pull.
- Workplaces and schools are the usual buyers. See also teacher lanyards.
- Start with custom lanyards, then tell us you need the safety clasp.
- If you also want a reel for the badge, say that on the same order.
What the clasp does
The strap is two pieces joined in the middle. A sharp pull separates them. That is the feature people want around machinery, students, or crowded corridors. It is a safety detail, not a fashion one.
Not every lanyard ships with this join already on it. A metal clip at the badge is not the same thing. If you need the strap itself to come apart, say breakaway when you order.
How to add it
Same path as any custom print. The only extra is the note about the clasp.
- 1
Pick the strap
Choose polyester or nylon in custom lanyards, including Staff or Visitor if you need that wording on the fabric.

Tell us you need breakaway
Ask us for a quote, or write it on the order. Say how many, and that you need a safety clasp that pops open, not only a metal clip for the badge.

Check the proof
Make sure the print looks right, and that the clasp is on the job, before you approve. We print from the proof.
