Go Green!

We were please to have the folks at the Go Green Expo use our lanyards printed on recycled material. They had a re-attachable safety breakaway connector, so they are green and safe. It's a nice combination.

Armed cop impersonator sexually assaults woman during traffic stop

For folks who maybe stopped by an officer and have concerns, police had this advice. "If you get pulled over by a police officer and you are concerned call 911 on the cell phone. Also, ask to see the police ID not just the badge, but the identification cards that we carry," said O'Connell.

Five Reasons to Rethink Visitor Management

Out of 10 companies I might visit, I am lucky if one painlessly verifies my identity and issues a personalized visitor credential. Most have me sign the old paper log, assume I must be who I say I am, and hand me a dog-eared visitor badge left over from the Nixon administration. At least one or two out of the 10 doesn’t even use a log book; just a wave to “come on back.” Let’s just say that visitor management is pretty low on the list for most companies.

Read the five points and more here. It's good stuff.

Impersonators erode trust in plainclothes police officers

“Anyone can get a badge,” Elizabeth Lange said. “You can go online and get badges. Anyone can say they’re a cop.”

That is why people with questions about someone claiming to be a plainclothes deputy need to ask for more, Malagon said.

“The badge means nothing unless there is an identification card that goes with it,” he said. “A photo ID.” (more here)

We say: While you at it, go ahead and add a few security features to the photo ID card to ensure authentication.

Garanimals for adults!

A COLOUR-code system has been developed to stop Australia's "best and brightest" from getting lost at Kevin Rudd's 2020 Summit.

Each of the summit groups has been allocated a colour, with participants to get a matching lanyard so they know where to go.

Mutations in the Warehouse

Uh oh... looks like there's some homogenization going on in the warehouse. Dont tell the boss.


For those who are addicted to bluetooth headsets, leatherman multi tools, keyfobs, neo-pets and other hangy-things, we proudly present Frankenstein Lanyard (...its ALIVE). Made from all kinds of stuff - like hot dogs - this lanyard is sure to fit the needs of the "customer who wants it all, but doesn't understand part numbers". It features a springy-bulldog-metallic-plastic-hook-clip-thingie. (Whew) Estimated MSRP is projected to be around, well... er, we're not sure. Warning - this product may cause neck strain and confusion.

OK - if you actually want one of these, I guess we could go ahead and make it, but this is not a real lanyard. It's a by-product of bad photoshop layering, and a late night of keyboarding. Could be something for the old r & d bin... we'll have to see who really wants it.
