Which Custom Keychain Style Is Right for You?

Custom Hard Enamel Keychains

Hard enamel keychains have a smooth, polished surface with enamel colors finished flush with the surrounding metal. Choose this style when you want a refined, jewelry-like appearance and excellent daily-use durability.

Custom Soft Enamel Keychains

Soft enamel keychains feature recessed color areas separated by raised metal lines, giving the design a noticeable textured feel. They are a popular, cost-effective choice for logos, promotional merchandise, schools, clubs and events.

Custom Die Struck Metal Keychains

Die struck keychains use raised and recessed metal detail without enamel color fill. This all-metal style is ideal for classic emblems, anniversary designs, recognition pieces and artwork where plating and dimensional metal detail should be the focus.

Custom Offset Print Keychains

Photo keychains reproduce full-color artwork, gradients, photographs and very fine details that may not work well with metal-separated enamel. The printed artwork is protected by a clear, hard epoxy coating.

Custom Deluxe Photo Keychains

Deluxe photo keychains combine a full-color printed image with a raised die-struck metal border. They are a strong choice when you want detailed photo reproduction with more of the weight and appearance of a traditional metal keychain.

Custom Photo Enamel Keychains

Photo enamel keychains combine soft enamel color with a full-color printed area on the same piece. This hybrid process works well when part of the design benefits from raised metal and enamel while another portion requires gradients, small details or photo-quality artwork.

Custom Rubber PVC Keychains

Soft PVC keychains are flexible, lightweight and colorful. They are especially popular for promotional giveaways, youth organizations, clubs and designs that benefit from a softer feel rather than a traditional metal construction.

Custom Keychains for Promotions, Brands & Organizations

Because keychains are practical and used repeatedly, they work well as promotional merchandise, employee and customer gifts, school or club items, fundraising products, event giveaways and branded retail merchandise. Your design can be built around a logo, mascot, message, commemorative date or original artwork.

The best manufacturing method depends on the artwork and the look you want. Choose hard enamel for a smooth premium finish, soft enamel for tactile metal detail, die struck for an all-metal appearance, photo styles for complex full-color artwork, or PVC for a flexible and lightweight keychain.

Custom Keychain Questions

What styles of custom keychains do you offer?

Metro Pins offers seven custom keychain styles: hard enamel, soft enamel, die struck metal, offset print, deluxe offset print, photo enamel hybrid, and rubber PVC.

How do hard enamel and soft enamel keychains differ?

Hard enamel is polished smooth so the color sits flush with the metal. Soft enamel leaves the metal lines raised above the color, creating a textured surface. Soft enamel is usually the more economical of the two.

Which custom keychain style has no color fill?

Die struck metal keychains are the all-metal option. Raised and recessed areas create the design while the selected metal plating provides the finished appearance.

When should I choose offset print keychains?

Offset print keychains are best when the design includes photographs, gradients, or many colors that would be difficult to reproduce with traditional enamel fills.

What are PVC keychains best used for?

Soft PVC keychains are lightweight, flexible, and economical. They work well for large giveaways and playful shapes where a metal keychain is not required.

What if I do not know which keychain style to choose?
