Short Keychains with Printing

Textile Keychains with Carabiner

Textile keychains are the best-selling variant thanks to their excellent price-quality ratio. They are made from polyester strap 10-25mm wide and 5-15cm long with a metal ring or carabiner at the end. Printing is done by sublimation for full-color photorealistic logos or screen printing for 1-4 color designs. The textile strap is durable, does not wear out, and colors do not fade even after years of use. These keychains are ideal for mass distribution at trade shows, sporting events, or as corporate give-aways.

You can choose different types of endings – classic key ring (cheapest), carabiner with swivel head (more practical), safety carabiner with detachment, or combination with other functions like bottle opener or mini flashlight. Textile keychain can be single-sided or double-sided with different designs. For sports clubs, we offer club colors and the option of woven logo directly into the material for a premium look.

Rubber and Silicone Keychains

Rubber keychains (PVC) and silicone keychains offer 3D logo shaping according to your design. Unlike flat printing, we create a relief logo that is tactile and visually distinctive. We can produce a keychain in any shape – company logo, product, mascot, number, or text. The material is soft, resistant to water, temperatures, and does not fade. Rubber keychains are popular with sports teams (jersey numbers), companies (logo in product shape), or for children's events (figures, animals).

Difference between PVC and silicone: PVC keychains are cheaper, slightly stiffer, and offer a wider color palette including transparent variants. Silicone keychains are more eco-friendly, hypoallergenic, softer to touch, and more resistant to extreme temperatures (-40°C to +200°C). For children's products or medical purposes, we recommend silicone. Both variants can be combined with different colored layers for multi-color logo without additional printing. Minimum order is 100-250 pcs depending on shape complexity. Also check out our key pendants.

Metal and Leather Keychains

Metal keychains look premium and are a symbol of quality and durability. We offer stainless steel, aluminum, brass, or zinc alloy with various surface treatments – polished, matte, brushed, blackened, or galvanically coated (gold, silver, copper). Logo can be applied by engraving (most durable), laser (dark contrast on light surface), color printing, or enameling (colored filling in recessed logo). Metal keychain is ideal for automotive industry, banks, luxury hotels, or as VIP gifts.

Leather keychains combine elegance with functionality. We manufacture from genuine cowhide leather, ecological leather, or PU material according to budget. Logo is applied by blind embossing (without color, only pressed), hot stamping (gold/silver foil), laser engraving (dark effect), or color printing. Leather straps can be combined with metal elements (rings, plates, plaques) for more luxurious look. Car key holders are also popular – protective covers for car keys made of leather with company logo. For more premium products, visit promotional products.

Multifunctional Keychains and Gadgets

Modern multifunctional keychains combine carrying keys with other practical functions. LED flashlight on keychain is useful at night or when looking for keyhole. Bottle opener is popular with breweries, restaurants, or festival merchandising. Mini multi-tool keychain contains screwdriver, ruler, opener, or knife – ideal for technical companies. USB flash drive in case attached to keychain ensures you always have data with you. Coin purse on keychain (small zip pouch) is practical for shopping tokens or parking coins.

For the digital era, we offer Bluetooth tracking keychains (Apple AirTag holder, Tile holder) that help find lost keys via mobile app. QR code on keychain can direct to your website, video presentation, or contact details. NFC chip in keychain allows business card transfer or link opening by simply touching the phone. For tech-savvy clients, these smart keychains are a great WOW effect. More technological gadgets can be found in USB flash drives.

Rubber keychains can be produced exactly according to Pantone (MOQ may be higher for custom colors). Metal keychains with enamel offer precise color matches. We always send you a physical color sample for approval before production.

Do you offer eco-friendly keychain variants?

Yes, we have several eco-friendly options: textile keychains from rPET (recycled polyester from PET bottles), bamboo wooden keychains with engraving, cork keychain (natural and renewable material), bio-based silicone (made from plant oils instead of petroleum). All our keychains are long-lasting and reusable, which is in itself a sustainable approach.

How quickly can keychains be produced?

Standard delivery time is 10-14 working days from artwork approval. For textile keychains with sublimation, we can offer express production in 5-7 days for surcharge. Rubber 3D keychains require mold production, which takes 7-10 days, then actual production 3-5 days. Metal keychains with engraving can be produced faster (7 days), enameled metal keychains take longer (14 days).

Can I combine different types of keychains in one order?

Yes, you can. However, each keychain type (textile, rubber, metal) has its own MOQ. For example: 100 pcs textile + 100 pcs rubber = 200 pcs total, but price is calculated separately for each type. For unified visual, we recommend using same logo and color scheme across all types. We offer 5% discount when ordering 3+ different keychain types.

How to prepare logo for keychains?

Vector format (AI, EPS, PDF) is ideal for sharp print in any size. For textile keychains, simple logo without too fine details is suitable (min. 1mm line thickness). For rubber 3D keychains, we need logo with clear outline lines. For engraving, we recommend single-color logo without gradients. Our graphic designer will prepare logo for free and recommend the most suitable technology – included in price.
