Best Keyring Engraving Styles for Different Business Types

 

What you need to know: The best keyring engraving style depends on your business and the impression you want to create. Professional firms may prefer simple engraved metal keyrings with a clean logo, while hospitality or trade businesses can get more value from practical styles such as bottle opener or torch keyrings. At Express Promo, you can choose from a range of engravable keyrings to find a style that suits how you want your customers to use them. 

Keyrings give you more value for your marketing budget because they’re durable and practical, not to mention easy to hand out. However, you have to choose a style that suits your business and the people receiving them. The type of keyring engraving you select can also affect how your branding looks on the finished item.

Choose laser engraving for detailed branding

When it comes to keyring engraving, you’ll usually have two choices: laser engraving or manual engraving. With laser engraving, your design is permanently engraved on the keyring’s surface using a machine and an automated process. It tends to be more practical when you’re ordering a lot of keyrings at once. The machine handles the engraving automatically, so you can be sure that your design stays consistent on every piece. 

Pick metal keyrings for a professional look 

Metal is a good choice when you want a keyring that feels more solid in your hand. It’s also durable and provides a nice surface for keyring engraving, especially when you want a more polished look.

Take our Engraved Chrome Shiny Keyring with a black aluminium plate, for example. When you laser engrave the plate, the design comes through in an oxidised white finish. That contrast makes your design much easier to notice against the black background.

You can also make the keyring more useful by choosing one with a built-in bottle opener or torch.

Consider bottle opener keyrings for hospitality businesses 

Our engraved aluminium bottle opener can be a great choice when you need a promotional item for a hospitality business. You’ll even find it here in six colours, so you can pick one that works well with your branding.

For something that feels a little more premium, take a look at the Brio Bottle Opener Key Ring. It has a matt finish, and the laser engraving comes through in a silver mirror finish. You can even present it in a black gift box, which makes it a nice choice for corporate events or client gifts. 

Try torch keyrings for trades and service businesses 

With our Titan Torch Keyring, you can give your customers another practical accessory to keep with their keys especially when they need extra light. You can also laser engrave the body with custom design, such as your business name or logo so they can remember your business every time they use it.
