Leather Fob Custom Keychains

Die striking is a manufacturing process where metal is stamped under extreme pressure using a custom-cut steel die. This creates a raised, sculpted design with crisp edges and fine dimensional detail — the hallmark of premium challenge coins, medallions, and keychains. It's the gold standard for custom metal products.

Die striking captures fine detail exceptionally well, including thin lettering, sharp borders, and intricate logo elements. For the best results, provide vector artwork (AI, EPS, or PDF). If your artwork needs cleanup or recreation, our design team handles that at no extra charge as part of every order.

Absolutely. Die-struck items can be finished several ways: left as polished or sandblasted metal for a classic look, given an antique finish (gold, silver, brass, or copper tones), or filled with soft enamel or hard enamel color in the recessed areas. An optional clear epoxy dome can be added for extra protection and a glossy finish.

Common finishes include polished gold, polished silver, polished copper, antique gold, antique silver, antique copper, black nickel, and satin finishes. Dual-tone plating (such as gold and silver on the same piece) is also available on many products.

Our leather products use genuine leather, top-grain leather, or high-quality synthetic leather (leatherette/PU leather) depending on the specific product. The material is noted in the product specifications above. Leatherette products offer a consistent look and feel at a lower price point, while genuine leather products develop character over time.

Leather and leatherette items are most commonly debossed (pressed into the surface) or laser engraved, both of which create a permanent, elegant customization. Debossing produces a subtle indented impression, while laser engraving creates a visible contrast mark. Some leather products can also be screen printed. The best method depends on the product and your artwork — our team will recommend the optimal approach with your free proof.

Yes. Genuine leather develops a natural patina with use, which many people find adds character and warmth. Leatherette products maintain a consistent appearance over time. Both are durable enough for everyday use as portfolios, padfolios, luggage tags, and accessories.

Absolutely — every order includes a free digital proof showing your artwork on the actual product. Proofs are typically delivered same-day for orders placed before 2:00 PM EST.

In most cases, no. If you're reordering the same product with the same artwork and specifications, the setup charge is typically waived since we already have your artwork on file. Just mention it's a reorder when you place your order or request a quote, and we'll confirm.

For the best results, we recommend vector formats: AI (Adobe Illustrator), EPS, or vector PDF. These scale to any size without losing quality. We also accept high-resolution PNG, JPG, and raster PDF files — for screen printing and engraving, our design team can recreate your artwork as a production-ready vector at no extra charge. When in doubt, send what you have and we'll let you know if anything else is needed.

This product ships within 15 Business Days business days after proof approval. Production begins once you approve your free digital proof — we don't start until you're 100% happy with the design. For products that offer online design, you may waive the proof step if you're confident in your design, which can shave time off the overall timeline. Rush production is available on select items; ask us when requesting your quote.
