The lanyards started falling apart within minutes of getting them out of the bag. By the end of the first day (2 ish hours of use) half of them had broken apart. I had to tie the strings back together to get them to kind of last the day, but that didn't stop the problem that there were suddenly a bunch of choking hazards dropped around the room where they had broken. I've duct taped all of them now that I know it's a problem so I won't have more choking hazards. I should probably just return them and buy something better, these really are absolute garbage.
I suppose the plastic card holders work well. They were easy to open and okay to put nametags in. But the lanyards are unusable in their current state, so still a worthless set overall.
