Custom Stubby Holders with a D-Ring
Add a D-ring to your custom stubby cooler and clip it to a bag, a belt loop or an esky — or hang it on a lanyard. Available on standard and slimline coolers. We can supply the carabiners and lanyards too.
- The Stubby Hut makes custom stubby holders with an optional D-ring — a ring at the top of the seam that a carabiner or lanyard clips to.
- The D-ring is available on standard and slimline stubby coolers, with white overlock, black overlock or no overlock.
- The D-ring is plated iron, 3 mm in diameter with a 16 × 10 mm opening, and carries the cooler empty or with a drink in it.
- Carabiners and lanyards, in any standard colour, can be supplied with the order as extras on top of the D-ring. Lanyards can be printed with a logo.
- There is no minimum order for stubby holders with a D-ring. The D-ring is an optional extra, quoted with your order, and is not available on foldable stubby holders.
What is a D-ring stubby holder?
A D-ring stubby holder is a custom stubby cooler with a ring fixed at the top of the seam. Clip a carabiner or a lanyard to the ring and the cooler hangs from a bag, a belt loop or an esky handle instead of rattling around loose. The Stubby Hut adds the D-ring as an optional extra on standard and slimline coolers.
It is the same cooler underneath — 6mm neoprene, your artwork printed by full-wrap sublimation, a six-thread stitched seam and a rubber shark-mesh base. The ring sits on a tab at the top of the seam strip, out of the way of the print.
The ring is plated iron — 3 mm in diameter and with a 16 × 10 mm opening. Clip the cooler on empty and it is there when you need it, or carry it with a drink inside.
Clip it on or hang it up
With a carabiner
Clip the cooler to a backpack, a tackle bag, a belt loop, a golf bag or the handle of the esky. It is there when the first drink comes out.
Carabiners come in any standard colour. They are an extra on top of the D-ring, quoted with your order.
With a lanyard
Hang it at a festival, a race day or a work function and it does not get put down and lost. A good fit for event and club merchandise.
Lanyards come in any standard colour and can be printed with your logo. They are an extra on top of the D-ring, quoted with your order.
Who orders stubby coolers with a D-ring
Fishing & boating
Clipped to the tackle bag or the boat rail, not blowing around the deck.
Camping & 4WD trips
Hangs off the pack or the camp chair so it is never at the bottom of a tub.
Festivals & events
On a lanyard with the wristband and the ticket. Hard to leave behind.
Tradies & work crews
On the tool bag or the ute, branded with the business logo.
Golf days & sports clubs
Clips to the golf bag or kit bag. A sponsor gift that gets carried.
Branded merchandise
A stubby holder that travels with the customer puts your logo in more places.

What it costs
The D-ring is an optional extra, quoted with your order. Carabiners and lanyards are separate extras on top of the D-ring — order the ring on its own, or with either. Tell us how many coolers you want it on and what you would like supplied, and the quote shows every figure before you commit.
The coolers themselves are priced by quantity, from $3.50 each, with Australia-wide freight and GST included. The full price list is on custom coolers online.
How to order
- Mention the D-ring in your quote request. Tell us how many coolers you want it on, and whether you would like carabiners or lanyards supplied.
- Send your artwork. Design layout and a digital proof are always included.
- Approve the proof. Nothing is printed until you have signed it off.
- Made on the Gold Coast, delivered Australia-wide. Production is 7–10 business days from artwork approval — the D-ring does not add to it.
