Custom Keyrings for Businesses with Your Logo
Custom keyrings for businesses are among the few gifts people carry with them every day for years. That's why the details matter: the material, the weight in hand, and a logo engraved with care, not printed across the whole surface. Here you'll find materials, marking techniques, sizes, and indicative unit prices.
An Object Handled Daily: Material Matters More Than the Logo
A keyring isn't looked at, it's handled. It falls to the ground, goes in and out of pockets, and bumps against phones. A 30 mm chromed zamak with a laser-engraved logo lasts years without losing its marking; one printed with flat ink on thin plastic might lose its logo in months and end up in a drawer. When choosing, consider the material and the ring or carabiner system first, and only then the logo size. The cost difference between a poor and a decent keyring is usually one or two euros per unit; the difference in lifespan is measured in years.
At Pekata, we produce custom keyrings for businesses with a concise catalogue and the logo applied with care: engraved in one colour, modest size, without covering the entire piece. The keyring works well as a companion piece in an employee welcome pack or on a stand table, alongside other promotional gifts for businesses. If you're looking for something worn around the neck instead of in a pocket, check out our custom lanyards: they serve the same distribution moment in a different format.
What Can Be Customised
- The logo, laser-engraved on metal, wood or leather, or printed in colour on PVC, acrylic and textile strap. We require it in vector format (SVG, PDF or AI) and if you only have a PNG, we can vectorise it.
- The shape of the piece: with your own mould, you can replicate the silhouette of your brand, building or product in enamelled zamak or soft 3D PVC.
- The colour, by Pantone reference, both in the metal enamel and in the PVC and textile strap.
- The hardware: flat ring, carabiner, chain, swivel clasp or cord. It changes the feel and price more than you might think.
- The material according to the message: bamboo, wood or RPET if the campaign is about eco-friendly merchandising; leather or steel if it's a client gift.

How It's Done
- Design and Preview. You send us the logo in vector format and choose material, size, and hardware. We return the assembled keyring on screen, with marking at actual size and position, for your approval before production. If the shape is custom, the mould silhouette is finalised here.
- Production and Marking. We produce from 25 units: you can order 30 keyrings or 3,000. Laser engraving and pad printing on European stock take about two to three weeks; a piece with its own mould (enamelled or 3D PVC) usually requires five to eight weeks including mould, sample, and transport.
- Delivery. To your office in a single box, to the event venue, or to each person's address, across Europe. Each person selects from the Pekata portal, available in seven languages, and HR doesn't need to collect addresses. You receive a single invoice.
When a Keyring Makes Sense (and When It Doesn't)
The keyring works well in three scenarios: mass distribution in event, fair, and conference merchandising, where you need something that fits in a pocket and doesn't weigh down the visitor's luggage; handing over real keys, such as joining an office, a fleet car, or a locker; and internal anniversaries or milestones, where an enamelled metal piece with an engraved date serves as a memento. It doesn't work as a main gift: no one remembers receiving just a keyring.
That's why we almost always pair it with something else. With a customised company pen and a notebook, it forms a smart welcome set for little money. Inside the Pekata box, with a band, label, and card featuring your brand, it upgrades without much cost increase. It can also be combined with gourmet products in the same box when delivery is to a home address.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a customised keyring with my company logo cost?
Between €1.50 and €4 per unit for laser-engraved metal, which is the most common option, and between €1.50 and €3.50 for bamboo or PVC. A textile strap with a carabiner ranges from €2-4, and a leather keyring goes up to €6-14. These are indicative prices, excluding VAT and with the logo already applied; they improve with volume.
What is the minimum order for customised keyrings?
At Pekata, the minimum order is 25 units: we produce from 25 units, so you can order 30 keyrings for a small team. What changes is the price, which decreases in tiers from a few hundred units. The exception is pieces with a custom mould: the mould is a fixed cost that only pays off when spread over many units.
How long does an order of logo keyrings take?
A catalogue keyring with laser engraving or pad printing is usually ready in about two to three weeks from when you approve the preview. A custom shape in enamelled zamak or 3D PVC requires a mould and sample, so allow between five and eight weeks. If you have a fixed event date, let us know before choosing material: it affects the decision more than the price.
Which marking technique lasts best on a keyring?
Laser engraving, because it's not ink: it removes material and the logo can't be scratched off. It works on zamak, steel, bamboo, wood, and leather. Moulded enamel also lasts many years and allows for colour. Pad printing and screen printing are cheaper but wear out sooner on a piece that goes in the pocket with metal keys.
Can a keyring be made in the shape of our logo or product?
Yes, with a custom mould. Enamelled zamak achieves a clean silhouette with Pantone colours, and soft PVC can reproduce relief on both sides, ideal for organic shapes. We need the logo in vector format and details must be simplified below 1 mm, as they can't be read on a 35 mm piece. The mould is a one-time cost and adds weeks to the timeline.
