- Color
The color of the wristband is one of the main factor that could greatly affect the overall look of your custom wristbands.

If the wristbands will be used or be given away during charity events, it is best to choose the color that symbolizes the charity or cause.
- Material
Choosing the right material might sound simple. But it can get a little complicated, especially that there are a lot of materials that can be used in making your own custom lanyard. Custom lanyards can be made out of different materials. The most common ones are: Polyester, Woven, Fabric, Nylon and Cotton. Specific materials are ideal for specific functions. Make sure to do your research before choosing one and at the end of the day what matters is that your lanyards will be durable, comfortable and cost effective.
- Accessories and Artwork
Lanyards can’t be functional if you can’t connect it with your identification card. You are going to need some sort of attachment. Some of the most common attachments are: split ring, bulldog clip, metal swivel hook, plastic swivel and thumb hook.
