Custom Stainless Iron Keychain
Due to the hardness of stainless iron, custom logos are most commonly applied using printing or laser engraving, as embossed or debossed designs are rarely used on this material. To help reduce production costs, a non-plated (raw) metal finish is typically the most popular choice. However, if a plated finish is preferred—such as gold, silver, or antique effects—it can still be applied upon request, depending on your design and budget requirements.
