Fob. The named rectangular plate: hole at the top, face below, short line of type. Lanyard. The carry when a pocket is the wrong place. One lives on a bag clip or a zipper. The other is a cord. That split is below.

When the plate wins
Zipper pull, strap clip, hotel hook. You need a face you can read without turning it over. The set must survive a bag dump at a gate.
When the cord wins
A pocket will be emptied, soaked, or stuffed. The cord’s honest job is the bag strap, with a breakaway catch that gives under pull.
Definitions
Bag clip and zipper. The plate stays with the bag
Walt Disney World’s property rules put every person, bag, parcel, and piece of clothing in reach of screening, and they cap theme-park bags at 24 by 15 by 18 inches. A ring in a hip pocket that will be emptied is a ring in your hand. A plate on a zipper or a clip is still on the bag. On a hotel hook. International Drive, downtown by Lake Eola, a Lake Nona apartment. A rectangle reads without turning over.
Lanyard. The carry, not the face
A cord on a bag strap is an honest park-bag job. A cord around a child’s neck is the wrong job. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s publication 5095 warns that strings, cords, ribbons, or necklaces around an infant’s neck can strangle. Put the catch on the bag. Heat makes the same point: NWS Melbourne’s heat guidance treats humidity as part of how hot the day feels; full sun can add up to 15°F. A cord against skin in that weather is a wet ribbon. A clip on a strap is hardware.
| Fob plate on a bag clip | Lanyard | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Named rectangular plate, hole then face | Cord or clip that carries the set |
| Park-bag home | Zipper pull, strap clip, high pocket | Bag strap (honest); neck (wrong for a child) |
| At a gate | Stays with the bag when pockets empty | On the bag it stays; on a neck it is a cord |
| Hotel hook | Rectangle reads without turning over | Cord hangs; the plate still needs a face |
| Safety page | Clip is not a neck | CPSC 5095; breakaway is a give, not a spec |
