Promotional Keyrings - Metal, Plastic Or Leather? - Choosing The Right Keyring

Once you’ve made the choice to promote your business with engraved or printed keyrings, you have to start looking at keyring materials. There are three basic types of printed keyring textiles – metal, plastic and leather. There are hybrids as well, like those that contain metal and leather as well as metal and plastic. Which is best for your business?

Very Small Budget
If you need a lot of promotional items and a very small budget, you may think keyrings are out of your price range. Not so, but you may have to settle for a keyring with fewer features.

The least expensive printed keyring is the mini ad loop keyring. A soft, flexible plastic loop holds your message while a sturdy metal ring holds the users keys. These are great for hanging keys on hooks at front entry ways. For as little as £0.19 a piece, you can order these printed key rings with a single color imprint. There’s a massive range of color choices for both the loops and closures.

If you like the look and feel of hard plastic printed keyrings, you can find a plethora of choices that fit into a tight budget. Consider the square acrylic plastic keyrings featured at YesGifts. For as little as £0.24 for a single color imprint or £0.26 for a full color imprint, you can order these impressive little key chains.

Spend a Little More
If you can afford to spend just a little more, you can find some very stylish options in leather or imitation leather. Choose between the pear or rectangular shaped high quality imitation leather keyrings with foil blocking on one side in one position for as little as £0.33 a piece. For a little more, you can choose the same in Finecell leather starting at £0.58 each. For the truly discerning customers, you can upgrade to luxurious Tuscana leather for £0.69 a piece.

The most economical metallic keyring is the small arch shaped stamped stainless steel keyrings. For less than £0.50 each, you can choose the message that will be laser engraved into these classy metal keyrings. For £0.10 more a piece, you can upgrade to a large arch stainless steel engraved keyring.

There are quite a few plastic printed keyrings available for less than £1 as well. Consider the Lottery acrylic printed keyrings with the option of 42 or 49 balls and full color processing for as little as £0.58 a piece.

Big Budget
If you have a little more to spend or are looking for a sophisticated printed keyring, the options in the £1 to £2 price range are immense. For just over £1 a piece, you can choose between oblong or rectangular fine leather keyrings with stamped, polished stainless steel medallions. The Arlington keyring clocks are practical and upscale without being too pricy. For as little as £1.22 a piece, you choose between four colored accents for the silver time pieces.

Also in the £1 - £2 price range are a number of engraved and printed key rings that include light features. Take, for example, the Saber engraved key chain light. For £1.89 a piece, you’ll receive a stylish, cylindrical silver lighted keychain in a ready to go gift box.
