No one leaves home without their keys and key chains make a great promotional item for all types of companies
. It's a no brainer, but the real question is whether to get engraved key chains or printed key chains. Both have pro and cons here is a list of them for your consideration.
When it comes to making a lasting impression you can't go wrong with laser engraved key chains, the metal is very elegant and durable. They will surely out last any plastic imprinted one. The laser engraving will withstand the test of time and outlast the imprinted. The imprinted type does have a tendency to chip and fade over time not making a very good impression. Although you can choose from a wide variety of colors with the imprinted type making them stand out in the visibility category better than their metal counterpart. So if you want your message to last as long as the key chain, the metal laser engraved type is the way to go.
On the other hand if you are going for something that will really stand out and you are not worried about the longevity of the item then you may want to go with the imprinted you can choose from a wide variety of colors for not only the key chain itself but for the imprinted colors as where laser engraved does not give this option.
Price is another option that you will have to consider but both are very reasonably priced most under $1.00 you have to consider that if you are having a logo on the imprinted item they may charge you a set up fee as where many companies will not charge you for a name and phone number on a laser engraved item but they may charge you for a custom logo. Shipping is another thing to consider plastic imprinted key chains and lighter than the metal engraved ones and may save you considerable on shipping unless you find a company that has free shipping then it is not an issue.
With so many things to consider look at you budget if there is room to spend the extra money then go for the higher quality laser engraved key chain, they will last longer and you customers will thank you for such a high quality item. If your budget just won't allow the room then go with the imprinted key chain. As long as you get your name out there that's the name of the game.
