Product Overview

What This Piece Is

Rainbow Butterfly Soft PVC Keychain is a custom soft PVC keychain moulded and finished to order in our Dong Guan workshop. The piece shown is a butterfly with rainbow wings, produced for a customer from their own artwork. Use it as a reference for the construction and finish, then send your own design: shape, size and colours are all custom. The compound is phthalate free, with no harm to the person carrying it.

Comparison

How It Compares

A printed acrylic key tagSoft PVC is moulded, so the shape itself is the design instead of a rectangle with a print on it, and it does not chip.
A metal enamel keychainMetal feels heavier and more formal; soft PVC reproduces cartoon shapes and layered colour at a lower tooling cost.
Questions

Rainbow Butterfly Soft PVC Keychain Questions

Answered before you commit to tooling.

Is the soft PVC safe to handle?

Yes. The soft PVC we use is phthalate free, with no harm to the person carrying it.

Can this shape be changed to my own design?

Yes. This piece shows the construction and finish. Send your artwork and a new mould is cut for it.

How small can the text on a PVC keychain be?

Text below about 3 mm is better raised or debossed than colour filled, because filled colour needs a wall between each shade.

What fitting comes as standard?

A nickel plated split ring. Ball chains, carabiners and lobster clasps are available on request.
