Keychains are fashionable accessories for modern fashionistas in their daily lives. They are beautifully designed and come in various unique shapes. When worn and decorated, they can beautifully enhance one's style.
I. Keychain designs. Keychains, as decorative items hung on key rings, are also called lock key chains, key rings, key chains, and key hangers, etc. They have a wide variety of designs. Common ones include cartoon designs, brand designs, realistic designs, and various other crafted designs that can be imagined.
II. Keychain materials and classification.
The materials for keychains are generally metal, PVC leather, plastic, and crystals.
1. PVC keychains
The most commonly used material is metal, including copper, iron, zinc alloy, stainless steel, etc. Among them, copper-made keychains are the most expensive, while iron-made ones are relatively cheaper. Keychains made of metal are usually treated on the surface, such as nickel plating, copper plating, and gold plating, which can not only enhance their aesthetic effect but also achieve the effects of rust imitation and wear and tear.
2. PVC soft rubber keychains.
PVC soft rubber has strong plasticity and can be customized according to the desired size and shape. Moreover, its corresponding costs such as mold fees are relatively low. However, its disadvantage is that its color tends to become dull, thus affecting its original texture.
3. Acrylic keychains.
Acrylic is also known as organic glass and is a transparent material. Colored paper or other items can be placed in the middle to make different patterns. The advantage of acrylic keychains is that they have excellent luster and toughness, and are not prone to damage. However, their disadvantage is that they are relatively brittle.
4. Plastic keychains.
The commonly used material is ABS, which requires an injection mold. The ABS material is injected and then colored, and compared to keychains made of other materials, the cost of the mold is higher, so the quantity produced generally needs to be large to be cost-effective.
5. Crystal keychains.
Crystal keychains are generally made of artificial crystals and can be made into various shapes. Because of their pure and transparent quality, crystals have become a symbol of purity and have become the favorite of fashionistas. They are also a common material for making keychains.
