For everyday use, a sturdy nylon or polyester webbing holds keys and ID badges well. Leather lanyards add a premium look but may need occasional conditioning.

Check the width and attachment hardware; a wider strap distributes weight better, and a sturdy metal clasp or swivel loop prevents breakage.

What width lanyard is best for holding keys?

A width of 1 to 1.5 inches provides enough strength without being bulky.

Are metal-beaded lanyards comfortable to wear?

They are fine for short periods, but the beads can dig into skin if worn all day.
