What's the difference between keychains and lanyards?

Lanyards and keychains are both highly useful accessories that help keep small items with you wherever you go. However, a few major characteristics differentiate the two. A keychain is a fob or chain attached to a ring that holds keys. A number of other small items, such as zipper charms , fit perfectly to keyrings and give them a touch of character. Keychains make it easy to keep all your keys in one place and carry them with you, so you have quick access when you need to lock or unlock your doors. A lanyard is a strap made to loop around your neck and features a clasp, ring, or clip to hold a wide variety of items. Many businesses and government agencies issue lanyards along with employee badges so that workers can display their identity while on the job. Custodians and building managers often carry keys on a lanyard so they can unlock doors at a moment's notice. Independent artists on Etsy make keychains and lanyards in all sorts of creative designs that let you express your personal style, whether you’re at work or at play. If you're looking to build brand recognition for your company or get a creative gift for a friend or coworker, you can work with a designer Etsy to create a customized lanyard or keychain.
