Thanks to the lanyard, carrying the plastic water bottle has never been easier. The lanyard, made of either nylon or polyester, drapes over the water bottle which allows users to carry the water bottle on their neck or shoulder. This is helpful if you want free hands for activities such as sports, hiking, or traveling. The bottle is mostly manufactured from food-grade plastic, allowing the storage of water and other beverages. For promotional uses, the lanyard boasts easy branding, logos, and color customization. Plastic water bottles with lanyards are given out by sports teams in the teams' colors to fans during matches. This is handy for quick access to hydration and marketing purposes.
