Random lanyard question!

Erin8, 25 January, 2013 at 16:28 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 17

I am starting a new placement in a few weeks and l need a lanyard to hold my ID that has at least 2 breakpoints on it. I can't seem to find any on the internet and l was wondering if anyone has any ideas where l can get one? Incredibly boring question l know but l really need to have one!

    If they are specifying things like that (whatever it is?), shouldn't they provide?

    I've just bought my husband one from eBay for his police ID badge. Can't remember what I searched but I'm pretty sure it was 'lanyard'

    My thoughts exactly! If you want something specific then you provide it or you get what you are given in my opinion! But it is for my own security so they are pushing the onus onto us.

    Thanks. How many breakpoints (the bits where it pulls apart) does it have?

    Oh, maybe try ID card holder too.

    I used these to make luggage tags for my wedding guests and I got them from ebay (think they came from Hong Kong). I definitely searched "ID card holder"

    Ahh, none (or I don't have a clue) because he wanted a retractable one. eBay is probably still your best bet though.

    I think WH Smiths also sell them, the more sturdy plastic kind I think, but I couldn't tell you how many holes it has.

    Thanks for your suggestions ladies, l am still struggling to find one. I have found one that claims to have more than one breakaway point but the picture doesn't look like it does. I have sent the seller an e-mail to clarify...

    I've only ever seen them with one breakpoint, both my work ones only have the one. So they aren't specifying you need one with two breakpoints, but that's what you want?

    Good guess! I am a student nurse. My best friend has acquired me one with 3 breakpoints so it is all resolved. Thanks for your help.
