Custom Rubber Keychains 2D/3D Popular Non-toxic Soft PVC
Soft PVC, rubber and silicone keyrings moulded to your own shape and finished with a stainless steel key chain, key ring or bead chain. The tag can be made flat as a 2D piece or moulded with raised 3D detail, and colour is applied by six colour UV printing in any solid shade. Anime merchandisers, event organisers and promotional buyers order them without a fixed MOQ, paying a mould cost once for each new soft PVC shape.
What This Product Gives You
- No MOQ on the order itself means a short anime or event run is possible once the mould is paid for
- Six colour UV printing puts detailed artwork on a moulded tag instead of limiting you to a one colour logo
- 3D moulding gives depth to a character or product shape that a flat printed tag cannot show
- Stainless steel rings and chains resist the corrosion that plated attachments show after a few months in a pocket
- Soft PVC flexes rather than snaps, so a keychain survives being sat on in a back pocket
- Three attachment types let the same tag go onto a key chain, key ring or bead chain to suit the end use
Where It Is Used and Who Buys It

What Goes Wrong Without It

- Hard plastic tags crack when they are sat on with a set of keys
- One colour logo processes flatten detailed character artwork into an unusable silhouette

- Printed colour compared by hand against the approved reference on each batch
- Attachment pull checked on the finished tag so the ring does not part from the moulding

What You Can Change

- 2D flat or 3D raised relief on the face

Compared With the Alternatives
| Alternative | How This Compares |
|---|---|
| Acrylic printed keychains | Moulded rubber resists chipping and flexes under pressure, while acrylic gives a glossier face for flat artwork |
| Metal enamel keychains | Soft PVC has no plating to wear and costs less per piece, though metal reads as more substantial for a corporate gift |
| Printed fabric or leather tags | Rubber holds a moulded 3D shape and wipes clean, whereas fabric absorbs dirt but feels softer in the hand |
Getting the Best Result
- Send artwork as vector AI, EPS or PDF so the mould follows a clean outline
- Avoid gradients in the design, since the process prints solid colours only
- Mark which areas should be raised if you want a 3D effect
- Choose the attachment before the mould stage, as the ring hole position is moulded in
- Budget the one-off mould cost separately from the piece price when comparing quotes
- Allow 7-15 days for standard production after artwork and sample approval

Custom Rubber Keychains 2D/3D Popular Non-toxic Soft PVC FAQ
Is there a minimum order?
No MOQ on the quantity. A custom soft PVC shape does carry a one-off mould cost, which is quoted separately.
How long does production take?
7-15 days for standard production once the artwork and sample are approved.
Can you print a gradient?
No. The process prints solid colours through six colour UV printing, so gradients have to be redrawn as flat colour areas.
What is the difference between 2D and 3D?
2D is a flat moulded tag with printed artwork. 3D adds raised relief so parts of the design stand proud of the surface.
What metal is used for the ring?
Stainless steel, supplied as a metal key chain, metal key ring or bead chain depending on what you specify.
What artwork file do you need?
Vector files are preferred, in AI, EPS or PDF. Raster files need to be 300dpi or better with fonts outlined.
How are they packed?
Individual OPP polybags, which keeps bulk orders cheap to pack and easy to pick.
