About beadIDs and Accessories

17. How do I care for my beadID?

To prolong the enjoyment of your beadID avoid direct contact with perfume, sprays or immersing in water; and slide the magnetic clasp to open.

18. I need a ‘break-away’ clasp to meet OHS requirements, does beadID have this feature?

Yes, we use a magnetic clasp to meet Occupational Health and Safety requirements. The magnetic clasp ensures a fast and safe separation if needed, while providing a strong closure at other times. A removable safety chain is provided for the added protection of possessions.

19. What can I hang off my beadID?

Almost anything! We have accessories to attach most everyday items including your: mobile phone, work ID pass, keys, sunscreen, membership pass, purse, USB stick, pen-light torch, glasses, lip gloss, biro, charms & decorations, can opener, photos + hundreds more we haven’t thought of yet!

Tell us what’s hanging off your beadID at hanging@beadid.com.au

20. What is the length of a beadID?

beadIDs are a similar length to standard fabric lanyards – between approx 45cm – 47cm (18”) long.

21. What are each of the accessories for?

Each type of accessory can hang a variety of items – see detailed information for each attachment on the Accessories product page.

Our range of add-on accessories allows you to hang almost any everyday item from your beadID.

22. Is a beadID safe for my child to wear?

We recommend that children under three (3) years of age do not wear a beadID due to the small parts. beadIDs are not a toy.

23. Where are the beadIDs and accessories manufactured?

beadIDs are designed in Australia and manufactured to our specifications in China. The manufacture, assembly and importation of our products are regularly and independently audited to meet exacting standards.

About beadID Pty Ltd

24. How did you come up with the idea of beadIDs?

As teachers, inspiration came from our frustration at having to wear unattractive fabric lanyards to carry school ID passes, classroom keys, whistles and USBs. These lanyards were usually from teacher conferences and were always in fabulously horrible colours and usually covered in corporate advertising. Visit the About us page for more information.

25. Is beadID the name of the company or the product?

It is both. When we started telling family and friends about our idea of our making beaded lanyards, the universal reply was “Beaded what?” We decided that if lanyard was as unknown term, we should name our beautiful products something different; so we called them beadIDs.

26. When did you launch the business?

From early 2008, while still working full-time as teachers, we worked evenings, weekends and holidays on beadID. From mid-2008 we started moving over to beadID part-time and in January 2009 our first range was launched.

27. How can I contact beadID?
