Our Monogrammed Badge Reels and Lanyards are Great for Back to School, Doctors, Nurses, Teachers or just about any type of occupation that requires you to carry a Name Badge. Although their called lanyards because their normally 36 inches length. We know that lots of the middle schools require the smaller children to wear them. So we've decided to offer ours in both 30 inch and 36 inch lengths. This way they don't hang into their lap when their sitting down. You can select from several styles of grosgrain ribbons and two different ribbon widths, 5/8 or 7/8.
