How To Make A Lanyard

Not sure where to start? Our lanyard kits take the guesswork out of gathering supplies. Each kit includes the hardware you need to assemble a lanyard — and some also include Printable Heat Set Polyester Webbing so you can design and print your own custom patterns. Just choose your width and style, grab your webbing, and you're ready to go.

Already know what you need? Choose your own webbing and hardware below to build a lanyard from scratch. Mix patterns, pick your buckle style, and make it completely yours.

Find the right webbing for your lanyard — here's what to consider:

Lightweight and smooth with a wide range of colors and patterns. Great for everyday lanyards, sublimation printing, and photo-quality designs.

Patterned ribbon sewn onto sturdy nylon for a soft feel and bold, detailed prints. A popular choice for pet-themed, seasonal, and novelty lanyards.

Every lanyard needs hardware to function. Choose the parts below to attach keys or badges, add breakaway safety features, and assemble your design.

The closure that holds your lanyard together. Choose from breakaway, side release, center release, or flat styles depending on how you want your lanyard to function.

The clip that attaches to your keys, badge, or accessories — available in swivel and fixed styles.

Strong, reliable thread to sew your lanyard together. We recommend matching your thread to your webbing width for the cleanest finish.
