Camping Adventures & Fun With Lanyards

Complete your camping adventure and have fun all with custom lanyards! Whether planning a family reunion, a summer youth program or a nature retreat, lanyards add fun and efficiency to any outdoor activity. Custom lanyards are great accessories for all campers and party goers. And, they serve as excellent souvenirs for the memories made while camping or at a family reunion.

Here are some quick tips on how to use custom lanyards while camping or during your summer festivities.

Lanyards are great for necessary camping gear.

Most campers use a compass to help them navigate through their camping terrain such as the woods or a desert. Knives can come in handy when you need to cut a piece of rope or a tree branch. So, carrying essential camping gear like these on a quality lanyard ensures that these items will not get lost while exploring the great outdoors.

Lanyards are also a great idea to keep in camp kitchens and latrines! Use them to hold spices and kitchen utensils. Or, keep small containers of toiletries together for easy use and quick accessibility.

And, because lanyards can be worn around a neck or attached to a bag or piece of clothing, hands remain free to engage in camping activities. Setting up a tent, starting a fire and rock climbing all become easier by using this fantastic tool!

Maintaining security and keeping people identified are common camping issues.

For summer programs, campers can wear a name badge or other form of identification to create unity and elevate camp security. Camp leaders need to be able to identify each participant in their program. And, having each camper wear a lanyard with a name badge will help identify those who belong. They also aid in remembering people’s names.

For family reunions, name badges help everyone remember each other’s names and how they are related. If there are other campers around, lanyards help you see who is a part of your group.

Lanyards are also tons of fun!

Campers will love coming up with creative ways to wear their lanyard. Wear it around a wrist like a bracelet, slip it through a belt loop or tie it around an ankle. Try wearing it like a headband or an armband. Or, maybe use it like a shoelace. There are many possibilities, and finding all of them can add an extra dose of fun and creativity to any camping adventure.

Because they are so versatile, custom lanyards are one of the best tools to bring on a camping trip.

The Power of A Branded Lanyard

From advertising to practicality, branded lanyards benefit any business.

Custom lanyards have never gone out of style. And they continue to grow in popularity, especially when it comes to how they are branded. From sports team colors to business logos, each lanyard reminds the wearer of where they got it.

And, they are more than just a reminder to the wearer, they also let the beholder know more about your brand. Custom lanyards have a potential to reach far beyond what a name tag or badge does. Lanyards have far more useful applications than a name tag. While name tags are perfect for identifying employees and visitors, lanyards add security, branding and functionality to identification.

Everyone uses lanyards!

They are everywhere: schools, office buildings, sporting events and more. So many places use lanyards on a daily basis. Lanyards are also commonly used during conferences, conventions and other events.

While frequently used for displaying name tags, these promotional products have many different uses. Most people have found lanyards to be useful in everyday life. Use them to keep track of your keys, or use them to keep pens and other personal items close at hand.

Now, what about that branding?

Lanyards are incredibly versatile due to their custom nature. Add text, logos, graphics and so much more to promote any brand. The text can be a phrase, a date or the name of an event or business. Wearing a lanyard makes ID or credentials more accessible to show to others or for security proof that you can be in a building or any other typically private place.

Keep your employees branded at all times. Add your logo and company color to a lanyard, and you won’t be able to give them out fast enough. Or, use a slogan or motto on branded lanyards to promote your business. These tools add recognition and identify not only the wearer but the company as well. Often, lanyards are a requirement for access to a building or meeting and can be used this way as advertising.

So, strengthen your brand at in your office and at your next event with a custom lanyard.

Badge Holders can Benefit Your Company

Make quality badge holders work for you!

From company security and finances to work relationships and camaraderie, you may find that badge holders are perfect for any company or corporation.

Discovering new ways to help your business thrive is a constant process. And finding simple ways to make that process easier is a great way to start. Enter badge holders! While they may be simple items, they are worth looking in to. And utilizing them will help your business in many ways.

Here are four ways a plastic badge holder can benefit your business.

Easy Accessibility

Your staff will quickly find their credentials or proximity cards when putting them in a badge holder. They won’t have to dig into their pockets or empty their purses. Clocking in and out is a much faster process for each work shift. Employees are also less likely to lose security items that are attached to their clothes or hanging around their necks. And nothing lost means that the company does not have to pay to replace them.

Interpersonal Relationships

Whether pinned to an employee’s chest or attached to a lanyard, badge holders with personal identification allow co-workers to get to know each other. They learn each others’ names, what job they have and in which department they work. This knowledge fosters work relationships and camaraderie. It can also help new employees get to know their colleagues faster and feel more comfortable in their position.

Save Money

Is your company looking at name tags and thinking that they just won’t work? Or do you just have too high of a turn over to invest in something so permanent? A badge holder may be just what you need!

Badge holders are typically lightweight and easy to use. They also come in many different sizes to meet all of your needs. And, to make these personal identification tools even better, use the printable inserts that go with them. Just print a new name and title for every employee, thus making turn over an easier adjustment. And it will keep costs down.

Increase Security

Employee identification typically includes names, job titles and sometimes a photo. When everyone wears this information in something like a badge holder, security personnel can see who is permitted access to the building. And this can decrease theft, impersonation and unauthorized visits.

Don’t forget your lanyards!

A strong, durable lanyard goes hand in hand with a badge holder. When using these tools together, make sure to have both sides of the badge holder contain the same information that when it swings on the lanyard, credentials and other vital information remains visible.

Helping is a Coller Industries Tradition

Here at Coller Industries, we are helping to make a difference in our customer’s lives.

Donations are a big part of who we are here at Coller Industries. Helping our non-profit customers with their purchases may seem like a small thing, but we understand the difference that it makes. And we love having repeat donations!

For the past few years, we have been donating to An Infinite Mind. This non-profit has a particular and unique goal. It is to raise awareness and support for those with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). And, we think they are doing an excellent job!

Here is a little bit about them:

“The brain is merely an organ, but the mind is infinite.”

Far too often, people with dissociative identities are portrayed as crazy or unstable. They have faced accusations of making up this disorder. The stigma associated with DID has led to countless men and women living with dissociative identities to hide their true, whole self in fear of the repercussions if they are found out. An Infinite Mind was formed out of a need for accurate information on all Dissociative Disorders but especially DID.

Jaime Pollock, Founder and Director of An Infinite Mind, said, “In short, we are a national non-profit dedicated to helping adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse heal through supportive services, education, advocacy and awareness.”

We donated badge holders, inserts and white flat lanyards.

Name badge holders are an event staple as they are frequently used for conferences, conventions, trade shows, meetings, schools and visitor passes. Not only are they an excellent choice for events, but they are also a fantastic option for reusable needs, such as in a retail environment.

Lanyards are noted for their ability to keep essential items like a name badge or pen close at hand. They are used in a broad range of activities from the workplace to schools and concerts to trade shows. Most often they have a name badge holder attached, and sometimes the badge holder displays the entire agenda for a meeting or conference.

“Our conference is a secure and safe place for our attendees so without a name tag they can’t enter. It is a very important piece of the event!” Pollock explained.

As An Infinite Mind is entirely volunteer-run, every donation counts. Even one of name tags and lanyards! We are always helping where we can.
