Learn about the different ways to make custom keychains

Hard Enamel Keychains
Buffed down to be a flat surface and considered to be the highest quality and are priced higher for retail.

Soft Enamel Keychains
Considered the traditional style with raised flat metal and inks at a lower profile. Epoxy can be added to do a mock hard enamel feel. Adding epoxy kicks any specialty inks like glitter or glow into high gear.

Classic Plastic Motel Keychains
Choose from 55+ different colors of plastics and you can pick UV (full color printing) or Foil for a single or double sided keychain. Foil options include Gold, Silver, Silver Holographic, Gold Holographic, Black or Rose Gold.

Wooden Motel Keychains
Are you looking for something unique and eco-friendly, made here in the USA? We can full color UV print or burn your artwork onto sustainably sourced cherry wood and using GreenGaurd gold certified inks.

Patch Motel Keychains
We matched the size and shape of a classic motel to be made into a patch keychain. Woven, or 50% embroidered and double sided

Acrylic Charm Keychains
Perfect for full color images or art with gradients. Glitter epoxy or a Holographic effect can be added. Popular in artist alleys and with anime/chibi style art

UV Printed Metal Keychains
UV printed offers a high end style that allows full color and gradients with a thin clear coating to protect the printing. These are the highest quality way to do a full color metal keychain design.

PVC Keychains
2D or 3D artwork with a classic look. Great for bold artwork and you can add a custom back logo

Keychain FAQs

Enamel Pins FAQs - Production

Frequently asked questions about custom keychain production

Do I see a proof before they get made? 

We send a digital proof for your review before production is officially scheduled.  If approved, we are rolling, but if you need adjustments, we will get new proofs until you approve. 

Patch Keychains and Wooden Keychains do see a physical sample to review before full production begins.

How long do keychains take to make? Can you do rush orders?

Most take about a month from proof approval to shipment. The complexity of your design factors into it's turn around time, so an easier pin will be done quicker than something very complex.

Wooden Motel Keychains are closer to 7-10 days and are made in the USA

If you have a rush order, please email us and we will find out if it is doable for you.

What's the difference between soft and hard enamel or soft w/ epoxy?

Soft enamel have flat metal and inks are at a lower profile/recessed.  Hard enamel are buffed down flat.  They cost more because they have additional labor steps.  Soft enamel with epoxy has a clear coating of epoxy added (free to do) and creates a flat surface, like a mock hard enamel.  This can be great if you have thinner details in your pin, want to use a soft enamel metal, etc.  We are big fans of soft epoxy here.

Where are your products made/what’s the factory like?

Our enamel pins are made in China, as almost all enamel pins are (there are some factories who claim to produce them in the US, but it’s false advertising- they have a US based team just like us, but hide the fact that they make the actual products in China.) Many people think that Chinese factories are “sweatshops” or that they employ child labor or other unethical practices, but that couldn’t be further from the truth- Chinese manufacturing is a sophisticated, high tech industry that involves competitive local wages and teams of skilled engineers and artisans. It is akin to - or in many cases more advanced than - manufacturing processes and facilities in the US. Our owner has personally visited our pin factory, met the owner and even tried his hand at fabrication! Most of our other products also come from Chinese partners, except for stickers and wooden products which are made in the USA.

What happens if my order isn't made right? 

We are making hand made products and things can go wrong.  A color mixed up, the plating having small issues, etc.  Any order made wrong or with issues can be either re-made or refunded with the bad product returned.  We never want this to happen, but when it does, we have your back and it won't cost you anything.

Is there a discount on re-orders?

Soft Enamel, Hard Enamel, Foil Embossed Motel Keychains and PVC Keychains require a custom mold made, so those do have a discount on a reprint order. Other keychain styles do not.

Are there discounts if I order a lot of designs at the same time?

We can always get an exact quote for you and when you have a lot of designs being made at the same time, they will benefit from shared shipping that will bring down your total cost.

We are happy to get quotes for any order directly from the factory. The pricing on this site has to assume it ships on it's own, but like any shipping, when you have more shipped together, it averages down per piece.

Art & Customization FAQs Keychains

Frequently Asked Questions about Customization options for keychains

Can I do variants?

Short Answer: Yes, for most items if changing inks, metal or a plastic color.

Long Answer: Foil Motel or UV Printed Motel Keychains can only have the plastic color mixed within an order. Wooden Motels can have multiple designs in an order and Metal Motels can as well (within reason) and be priced off of the total amount ordered.

Can you do other things not listed, other quantities or more colors?

Yes! We can make any size or quantity.

How are the keychains packaged?

Metal Keychains, Plastic Motel, PVC and Acrylic Charms are individually packaged and put into larger groups.

Wooden keychains have a protective film on top of the printing to help them in transit.

Will my art be taken/resold/ripped off?

We have a close relationship with our factories and they have a lot more to lose than gain by using anybody’s designs for their own purposes- at our request they don’t even show our designs in their portfolio. Sadly, most times when a design is stolen, it’s actually done by stealing an image online and tracing it, so we can’t promise your design will never get copied, but we can promise our factory won’t be the ones doing it.

My art might be too detailed - will it work as a keychain?

If your art is very detailed, we would suggest UV printing or an Acrylic Charm Keychain. PVC works best with bold designs and Patch Keychains can hold varying amount of detail depending on the method.
