It is always a challenge to come up with unique and exciting ways to design a promotional keyring. More often than not people end up going with a design that is quite mundane and very clich? not because they are trying to actively be boring, but rather they just don't have any good ideas. This is a shame because designing good promotional keyrings does not have to be difficult, in fact it can be fun. Usually you'll want to start by looking at your product, or services that your company offers, and then go from there. Today however we are going to take this in the little bit of a different direction and talk about engraved promotional keyrings.



Engraved promotional keyrings are fantastic way to make a classy upscale looking promotional key ring, but still maintain a healthy bottom line. Everyone knows that a metal promotional key ring looks so much better than its plastic or glass counterpart, that is because metal is not only heavier, and more durable, but it is also universally accepted as being more expensive and attractive. Normally if you are making a promotional key ring you would use die cast metal to produce some sort of shape or figurine that would be attached to the keychain; however die cast metal can be very expensive, especially for something that should be relatively inexpensive like a promotional keyring. To get around this reprise her role, but still use metal as your main material, engraving is an excellent alternative.

To begin you'll start with a basic easy to manufacture shape such as a circle square or rectangle. You can either have the shapes custom manufactured for you, or alternately you'll probably be able to find the shapes already been manufactured. Next you'll want to come up with a design for your promotional keyrings. Your design can incorporate any amount of graphics or text in any configuration imaginable. Your design will largely dictate the next step in the process. Using fancy fonts on your engraved promotional key ring you can achieve a very nice look without the high cost associated with engraving graphics.

Engraving graphics onto your promotional key ring can be pretty expensive and usually involves a laser engraver; whereas simple text can often be done with a mechanical engraver to save cash. Using various depths and finishes it is possible to engrave any graphic into metal, and the results look amazing. Just know however that your engraved promotional key ring will cost more using graphics than with text.

After the design is finalized you will want to find a manufacturer that can handle all of the engraving for your promotional keyrings. They will be able to better help you finalize your design, especially if you are using graphics. Overall creating an engraved promotional key ring is a simple process that should not take much time. As a bonus you could probably order additional metal shapes but leave a portion of them blank should you ever want to revise your design or create an engraved promotional key ring for a special occasion. This will allow you to get a volume discount.
