Custom Engraved Metal Keychains

Our keychains are made from durable die‑cast zinc alloy with a nickel-plated finish. It’s the same type of metal used in quality home hardware—think Kohler faucets and cabinet pulls—so it has a solid, weighty feel and excellent strength while allowing for fine, detailed engraving.

Our engraved boxed keychains are available in light-on-dark engraving (higher contrast on darker finishes) or tone-on-tone engraving.

Tone-on-tone has an elegant, classic look—similar to a frosted effect—and is the style you might see on personalized gifts at stores like Things Remembered. Product photos show the exact finish options for each style.

No. These engraved boxed keychains are metal and engraved only—no color fill is added. The engraving is permanent and elegantly etched into the surface, available in either light-on-dark for contrast or tone-on-tone for a classic, refined look

The boxes have a simple, elegant look, making them suitable for gifting right out of the box.
