Custom metal key chains are logo-decorated key rings, tags and small tools made from metals such as zinc, aluminum, brass and stainless steel. They ride on a keyring, so your logo goes wherever the keys go. Buyers use them as swag for new hires, client gifts, trade show handouts and dealership or property keys. The styles here run from flat metal tags to bottle openers, carabiners and whistles.
Styles and materials
Materials listed across this category include aluminum, brass, steel, stainless steel, zinc, zinc alloy and recycled aluminum. Some styles list only a general metal or leave the material out, so ask us if the exact metal matters. The Brass Bottle Opener Keychain with No Touch Tool has a hook for pulling door handles and a bottle opener on its top side. The Circular Spinner Key Tag in Metal with Split Ring measures about 1 1/4" W x 3 1/8" H. If you want a clip, the Lightweight Aluminum Carabiner Clip with Split Key Ring comes in a large or small size, each with a split key ring. It is made for keys, not climbing. Browse our custom keychains for other materials, or our key tags and fobs for flat tag shapes.
Logo decoration
Laser engraving and full color printing are the two methods listed most often here. Engraving marks the metal itself, and full color suits a logo with several colors. Some styles also offer pad printing or screen printing, and the Diestruck Zinc Charm Keychain, Single Charm, Enamel Color-Fill is die struck and color filled. Methods and imprint area differ by style, so check the product page against your artwork. For marks cut into the metal, see our engraved keychains.
