Cross and Chilli Rubber Key Chains RC-KC04
Two rubber pieces run as a pair: a patterned cross and a twin chilli. Rubber gives a denser, more matte feel than soft PVC, which suits solid shapes like these better than fine detail work.

Product Overview
Rubber holds a heavier gauge well, so both shapes are moulded thick and solid rather than relief-detailed. The result feels substantial in the hand.
Biker and festival retail, and regional food and souvenir ranges. It is produced in the same soft moulding process as the rest of the key chains range, in Yiwu, Zhejiang, China.
Key Benefits
- Colour moulded through the body, so the artwork on RC-KC04 cannot rub off with handling
- Pantone matched, so a reorder in eighteen months sits next to the original without a visible shift
- Tooling retained here between orders, so a repeat run skips development entirely
- Trial quantities accepted below the 5,000 pcs MOQ so you can prove sell-through first
Application Scenarios
- Trade show and exhibition giveaways
- Souvenir shop impulse purchase displays
- Product launch and sampling campaigns
- Membership, loyalty and staff recognition gifts
Problems It Solves
Cheap key chains fail at the join. The ring pulls out of a thin tab, the print wears off a flat face, or the shape is so generic that nobody remembers who gave it to them.
- A fixing that survives a keyring. The eyelet is moulded as part of the body with enough material around it, rather than punched through a thin edge after moulding.
- Artwork that will not rub off. Colour is moulded through the part, not printed on the surface, so it survives years in a pocket with keys.
- Shapes people keep. A recognisable outline, a landmark, a product, a mascot, outperforms a flat disc with a logo on it.

How It Is Made
Artwork becomes a mould drawing, the drawing becomes an aluminium tool, colour is laid into the cavities one colour at a time, and heat cures the whole part into a single soft body. The fixing, a magnet recess, a ring eyelet or a strap anchor, is designed into the body rather than added afterwards.
Finished parts are checked against the approved reference sample held here, not against a photograph or a colour description.
Customisation Options

|---|---|
| Colour change | Production setup change on the existing mould. The cheapest option available. |
| Lettering or place name | Cut into the mould, so a new wording needs a new tool. Artwork carries over. |
| Logo added | Placed on a clear field in the design and shown at actual size on the drawing before tooling. |
| Size change | New tool. Tell us the target size at drawing stage so detail can be checked against it. |
| Packing | Bulk bags, polybags or blister cards printed here with your artwork and barcode. |

Use Guide
Wipe clean with a damp cloth. The surface is closed, so it does not absorb dirt the way a porous material would. Keep out of prolonged direct sunlight in shop windows where possible.
Some stainless steel and aluminium clad appliance doors are not magnetic at all. In markets where those are common, a line on the packaging saves customer complaints.
Questions About This Product
When should we choose rubber over soft PVC?
Rubber for solid, chunky shapes and a matte finish. Soft PVC for fine detail and bright Pantone colour. Send the artwork and we will tell you which suits it.
Can this design be produced in our own colours?
Yes. A colour change on an existing mould such as RC-KC04 is a production setup change rather than new tooling, which makes it the cheapest customisation available. Supply Pantone references rather than colour names.
Can our logo or a place name be added?
Lettering and logos are cut into the mould, so a new wording means a new tool. The artwork and construction carry over, which makes the drawing work faster than starting from nothing.
What is the minimum order for this design?
5,000 pcs per design, with lower quantities accepted for trial orders. Production runs 10 to 15 days at MOQ once the sample is approved.
Soft PVC Versus Rubber and Silicone
Three materials cover almost everything in moulded promotional products. Choosing the wrong one usually shows up as a part that looks right and feels wrong.
