A practical route from reference to custom keychain.
A clear brief keeps design intent, material, construction and presentation in the same conversation from the beginning.
- Reference
- Build definition
- Review
- Production
Four connected stages keep the project clear.
Each stage resolves a different set of decisions. The sequence helps prevent artwork, hardware and packaging from becoming separate last-minute conversations.
Share the direction
Send artwork, a reference image or a clear description. Add the intended use, material preference and quantity you are considering.
Define the build
Discuss shape, dimensions, thickness, surface, color, edge treatment, attachment and any front or back details that affect construction.
Review the project details
Align the visual and physical requirements before moving into the agreed production stage. The relevant review points depend on the chosen material and assembly.
Produce, inspect and prepare
Manufacture, review and package the keychains according to the confirmed project information and agreed presentation requirements.
From visual idea to physical detail.
The project becomes buildable when the object’s form, connection points and presentation are considered together.
The brief should answer the decisions that shape the object.
You do not need every answer before contacting us. These are the useful points to identify, confirm or discuss.
Artwork and silhouette
Share the logo, motif, reference image, color direction and any important front or back details.
Material and dimensions
Identify the preferred material, approximate size, thickness and the overall feel the product should have.
Ring, clasp or strap
Review the attachment style, connector, movement and proportions as part of the whole keychain.
Quantity and packaging
Include the quantity under consideration and any requirements for individual packing or product presentation.
A useful first message can be short.

Before you send the brief.
A few practical answers can make the first project conversation easier.
See quality & manufacturing →Do I need finished vector artwork?
Vector artwork is useful when available, but a clear image or description can begin the discussion. Production details still need to be confirmed for the individual project.
Which dimensions should I provide?
Start with the approximate overall size. Thickness, attachment dimensions and part relationships can then be discussed with the chosen construction.
When should packaging be discussed?
Include packaging in the initial brief whenever presentation matters so the product and packing direction can be considered together.
Are all review steps the same for every keychain?
No. Different materials and assemblies call for different points of attention, so the checks should follow the confirmed design.
