Custom key fobs are small, so the design has to work harder than on a full-size card. A clear logo, one message and well-placed practical details are all it takes. Here are ideas and options.
Fitting your logo
Use a simplified version of your logo if the full one has fine detail or small text. A bold mark reads better at key fob size.
Front and back
- Front: logo and brand colour
- Back: barcode or number, phone number or web address, and a “please return if found” line
Colour ideas
- One colour per membership level
- A bright colour so keys are easy to find in a bag
- A seasonal design for a limited promotion
Hole placement
Keep the hole away from the logo and barcode. Allow a margin around it so nothing important is cut.
Barcodes and contactless
Barcodes need a white or light background and clear space either side. Contactless chips sit inside the fob and do not affect the design.
Finishes
Matt hides scratches from keys; gloss gives bright colours; spot UV can highlight a logo.
Formats
See 1-up, 2-up and 3-up key fobs to choose how many fobs come together.
Options and prices
Options include QR codes, barcodes, numbering, magnetic stripe, signature panel, contactless chips, hole punch, spot UV, and a matt or gloss finish. Every file is checked and proofed, and nothing is printed until you approve the proof.
