How to Make Acrylic Keychains of Your Art

Why Artists Should Consider Merchandise

Are you an artist looking for ways to share your creativity while earning extra income? Putting your art onto merchandise is a fantastic way to do both. Artists are increasingly turning their artwork into products, and one of the most popular items is custom keychains. Why miss out on this opportunity?

Your artwork is valuable, not just as standalone pieces but also as designs on everyday items like hats, t-shirts, backpacks, and socks. Adding your unique touch to custom products can be easier than you think—and profitable too.

Why Keychains Are a Great Choice

Custom keychains, particularly acrylic ones, are a fantastic entry point for turning your art into tangible, sellable merchandise. They are:

• Affordable to produce: Minimal costs make them a low-risk venture.
• Easy to ship and store: Their compact size keeps logistics simple.
• Highly profitable: With high-quality manufacturing, you can enjoy great markups.

And when you create them with THE/STUDIO, you can even customize branding and packaging, ensuring your keychains are retail-ready for both online and physical stores.

How to Turn Your Art Into Keychains

Before you dive into making your own acrylic keychains, here’s a vital tip: Don’t go the DIY route. While it may seem cost-effective to figure it out on your own, it often leads to subpar products that either fall apart or don’t do justice to your art.

Instead, partner with a professional manufacturer. This ensures your keychains reflect your creative vision while maintaining the highest quality standards. Here’s what to look for when choosing a manufacturer:

1. High Quality

Your art deserves the best representation. Keychains are small, so skimping on quality will detract from their appeal. High-quality materials and craftsmanship are essential.

2. Fast Shipping

Long lead times can derail your plans. Look for companies that offer fast and reliable shipping, so your products arrive when you need them.

3. Competitive Pricing

Affordable pricing doesn’t mean settling for less. Beware of prices that seem too good to be true—quality often comes at a reasonable cost.

4. Knowledgeable Staff

Not all designs or materials suit every project. A team with expertise can help you avoid potential pitfalls and optimize your designs for keychain production.

5. Customization Options

The little details matter. Look for manufacturers offering special features like unique borders, faux-leather fobs, or other add-ons to make your keychains stand out.

6. Branding and Packaging

Streamline your production process by working with a company that offers branding and packaging services. This saves you time and effort, making your keychains ready for retail.

Why THE/STUDIO Recommends PVC Over Acrylic

Here’s a plot twist: we don’t actually make acrylic keychains at THE/STUDIO. Instead, we’ve found something better—PVC keychains.

What Makes PVC Keychains Superior?

PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is a type of plastic similar to acrylic but with significant advantages:

• Durability: PVC is more flexible and resilient than acrylic, making it less likely to crack or break.
• Flexibility: Unlike the rigid structure of acrylic, PVC’s rubber-like texture allows it to fit comfortably in your pocket.
• Design Versatility: PVC accommodates intricate, colorful designs and unique shapes better than acrylic.

With thousands of PVC keychains under our belt, we’re confident it’s the ultimate material for showcasing your art.
