To adequately meet the expectations of your business partners and effectively customize your corporate gift, you need to consider several elements. Are you wondering how to customize a metal keychain and make it a unique custom accessory? Here are some tips to help you better envision your ideal promotional item.

  • First, choose the material from which you want to make your promotional item. This will depend on the weight you envision for your object as well as the finish you want to give to your creation.

  • Define the type of keychain you desire. Do you want an abstract, realistic creation, or a promotional goodie that also serves a practical function? Determine what type of metal keychain you wish to create and what overall design your professional gift should have.

  • Think about the ideal dimensions. These are also important and depend on the function of your object. Ask yourself if you want to create a discreet and minimalist media item or something bolder that stands out easily. Remember that the size of your custom gift should still remain compact for ease of use.

  • Define your marking method. A keychain distributed by a company is primarily a promotional item meant to convey commercial information to its recipients. Therefore, it is essential to apply a clear and visible message that presents the name, logo, or slogan of a company (and why not all three?). The marking method is therefore very important. Note that engraved keychains are quite popular. Depending on the look of your promotional gadget, you can also choose to customize it through screen printing, digital printing, laser engraving, etc.

There are also other ways to customize your metal keychains. If you want to make it an innovative and unusual item, you can add other materials.

  • For example, imagine an epoxy coating.
  • Add a faux leather attachment.
  • Enhance your creation with a detail in PVC, leather, or foam.
  • Imagine a car keychain with a faux leather strap.

The combination of different materials allows for the creation of a versatile and bold object that easily stands out from other goodies distributed by competitors. This mix adds prestige to the gadget and enriches its final appearance. AHK, your specialist in promotional items, gives you great customization flexibility and allows you to choose the models and materials that meet your criteria and your clients' expectations.

→ Also choose an attachment for your keychain.
