Lanyards and Clips

You'll have options for how to wear your badge

Ames Lab will provide everyone with badge holders, lanyards, and clips. We will have plenty of each type so you can choose the one that works best for you.

You are welcome to wear any type of lanyard or clip you prefer (you don’t have to wear one of the provided options).

Here are all 3 clip types next to each other for comparison. Below are details and photos of each type.
