Metal bead chains are a simple, hard-wearing alternative to fabric lanyards. They don't fray, twist or fade, and they wipe clean, which suits kitchens, science labs and anywhere hygiene matters.
Choose 30 inch or 36 inch, depending on how low staff want their card to hang. The chains are nickel-plated and come in packs of 100, enough for the whole team with spares left over.
