V · FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Still have a question? Send us your artwork and project details and we'll help you work it out.

What is the minimum order quantity?

The current standard planning MOQ is 500 pieces per design. The final MOQ can depend on the shape, material, finish, attachment, and packaging. Please confirm the applicable quantity with your quotation.

How long do sampling and production take?

A typical sample lead time is around 5–8 working days after artwork and specifications are confirmed. Bulk production timing depends on quantity, finish, assembly, packaging, and the production schedule. The confirmed timeline should be agreed before the order proceeds.

Can I choose different hardware for the same design?

Different hardware options can be quoted for the same body. If you want to split an order across fittings, mention the quantity required for each option so the assembly plan and pricing can be checked.

Can the keychain be customized on both sides?

Two-sided customization may include a second logo, engraved text, or another suitable design. The available methods depend on the body construction, material, artwork, and selected finish.

Can you provide a custom backing card?

Custom backing cards can be planned with brand artwork, product information, a barcode or QR code, and a suitable hanging hole. Card material, printing, die-cutting, and mounting requirements should be confirmed for each project.

Will the keychains arrive assembled and packed?

The assembly and packing arrangement should be specified in the quotation. If the order requires the keychains to be mounted on backing cards or individually packed, include those requirements when requesting a quote.

Which finish should I choose?

The best option depends on the artwork and the appearance you want. Soft enamel creates visible raised metal lines; hard enamel offers a smoother polished appearance; printing can suit certain fine details and gradients; engraving is useful for suitable metal surfaces and text.

Can the design be reordered for future campaigns?

Repeat production may be possible when the design, tooling, material, and specifications remain suitable. Confirm tooling retention, any storage arrangements, and repeat-order charges with your supplier rather than assuming these are included.
