Question
What is the difference between a lanyard slot and a drilled hole?
Answer
A lanyard slot and a drilled hole are two ways to add an attachment point to a printed piece, and the difference is simply the shape of the opening. That shape decides what threads through it comfortably.
- Drilled hole: a small round opening, good for string, ribbon, or ring attachments.
- Lanyard slot: a tab-shaped rectangular opening designed to fit a flat lanyard or badge clip.
| Type | Shape | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Drilled hole | Circular | String, ring, ribbon |
| Lanyard slot | Tab-shaped | Flat lanyards, clips |
