What is the 1 1/2" Gold Baseball/Softball Brass Keychain?
This keychain is made from solid brass with a polished finish. It measures 1 1/2" diameter x 1/16" thick. This is the gold colorway.
Brass is the traditional engraving metal: dense, warm-toned and long-lived.
A keychain is handled several times a day, every day, for years. Rotary or laser engraving cuts a crisp permanent line that can be color-filled.
This is where perceived value and order size stop fighting each other. You can buy enough to matter and still hand over something nobody quietly throws away. Concretely: $13.95 each at 1-11, $8.65 at 500+.

Decoration options
The decoration method is chosen to match the substrate, which is why the mark is permanent rather than printed on top of it. Standard imprint area on this item is 0.9 in x 0.75 in.
Laser Engraving
A focused laser removes the surface layer to expose the substrate beneath. A permanent, high-contrast, single-color mark with no ink involved.
Logos, names, dates and fine text. The default choice when the mark has to outlive the campaign.
Single color: the natural color of the material under the surface.
Rotary Engraving
A rotating cutter physically carves the surface. A deep V-cut line with genuine dimension.
Brass and aluminum plates, especially with color fill.
Substrate color or color-filled.
Color Fill
Engraved or carved recesses are filled with pigment. A permanent engraved mark that reads in brand color rather than substrate color.
Metal and crystal where the logo must be recognisably on-brand.
Matched to Pantone where the recess allows.
Artwork requirements
- A 300 dpi raster at the actual imprint dimensions will run cleanly. Anything pulled from a web page usually will not.
- Outline your fonts before sending. It removes the most common cause of a proof coming back wrong.
- A digital proof comes back to you first, every time. Production starts on your written approval and not before.
- Do not spend a week hunting for the perfect file. Send what exists and we will tell you what is usable.
- Send the file you have, even if it is imperfect. We will tell you honestly whether it will hold up and redraw it if it will not.
Production schedule
| Digital proof | Same or next business day |
|---|---|
| Standard run | 3 to 5 business days once the proof is signed off |
| Rush run | quoted per job once the proof is signed off, with the date confirmed in writing |
| Delivery | 1 to 5 business days on the ground network |
Common uses
Where this works best
The same item lands differently depending on who gets it and why. Here is how this one performs across the programs it sells into most.
Trade Shows & Conferences
Booth traffic is not the metric: what leaves the hall and stays in use is. Weight and packability decide what actually leaves the hall. Anything bulky ends up in a hotel bin regardless of quality, so the constraint is what fits in a carry-on alongside everything else collected that day. Rotary or laser engraving cuts a crisp permanent line that can be color-filled. Priced so you can cover everyone without cheapening the gesture.
Franchise & Multi-Location Brands
The hard problem in multi-location branding is consistency, not creativity. Artwork drift is cumulative and invisible until it is severe. A locked file held centrally against each item number, rather than a logo emailed between locations, is what stops forty sites gradually producing forty logos. The keychain format earns its place here on keep-rate rather than headline price. At $8.65 in volume the cost per kept item is hard to beat.
Weddings, Reunions & Milestone Events
Personal events are the one segment where the recipient genuinely wants the item personalized. Names, dates and short inscriptions turn an ordinary object into something kept for decades. Quantities are modest and lead times are unforgiving, which makes production scheduling the thing to get right. Roughly 38% comes off between one piece and a full run.
Automotive & Dealerships
Delivery day is the highest-emotion moment in the customer relationship. Service and sales want opposite things from the same budget. Sales needs a handful of pieces with real presence for delivery day; service needs high frequency at low cost. Splitting the budget explicitly stops one cannibalizing the other. Brass is the traditional engraving metal: dense, warm-toned and long-lived.. At $13.95 before breaks this is the tier most programmes should live in.
Real Estate & Closing Gifts
A closing gift is a referral instrument, not a thank-you note. Agents re-order what generates conversations, not what photographs well. Track which pieces prompt a referral call and the item list narrows quickly to two or three things worth stocking properly. Good enough to be kept, affordable enough to order in real quantity.

What do buyers ask about BKR9?
What artwork do you need from me?
Vector artwork is ideal (.ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg) with all type converted to outlines. High-resolution raster at 300 dpi or better also works, and a logo saved from a website is worth sending anyway. We check it against the 0.9 in x 0.75 in personalization area and tell you before you pay whether it holds up at that size.
Can I order more later and have them match?
Re-orders reproduce rather than reinterpret. We keep the approved artwork on file against the item number, so a re-order runs from the same file. On natural materials the base itself can shift a little between batches, so tell us if an exact match matters. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit.
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. BKR9 sells from a single unit at $13.95, the first rung of its published ladder, so a sample is simply a normal order. A decorated single piece goes through the same proof as a full run.
Can I mix colors or sizes to reach a quantity break?
Yes, provided the artwork stays the same across the run. Different artwork is fine as well: it gets its own proof, and setup stays free. Price breaks on this item fall at 1-11, 12-23, 24-47, 48-95, 96-249, 250-499, 500+. The published ladder on BKR9 runs from $13.95 a piece at 1-11 down to $8.65 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
How long does production take?
Door to door at standard speed: a day for the proof, 3 to 5 business days in production, then 1 to 5 business days in transit. A rush is quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay.
Can I see a proof before you produce the order?
Yes, and nothing runs until you have signed it off. Read it properly rather than skimming, because the approved proof is the specification we produce against. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit.
Can you work to a fixed in-hand date?
Yes. Give us the in-hand date and checkout tells you immediately whether standard production makes it. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit. A rush is quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay.
What is the minimum order for BKR9?
There is no minimum beyond one piece on BKR9. Price breaks on this item fall at 1-11, 12-23, 24-47, 48-95, 96-249, 250-499, 500+. The price per piece only goes down as the quantity rises. The published ladder on BKR9 runs from $13.95 a piece at 1-11 down to $8.65 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.

| Quantity | Piece | Engraving | All-in each | Order total | Ground freight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12 | $12.83 | $3.75 | $16.58 | $198.96 | Priced by weight |
| 24 | $12.00 | $2.25 | $14.25 | $342.00 | Free |
| 48 | $11.16 | $1.75 | $12.91 | $619.68 | Free |

- Ground freight is free from 24 pieces, which is where this order passes $250.00 of merchandise.
- The personalization area is 0.9 in by 0.75 in. Engraving is charged on the share your artwork actually covers, so a smaller logo costs less. Place yours on the product above and the price updates as you size it.
- At 50 pieces this costs less than 19% of the 347 other priced items in Personalized Gifts. It sits at the dearer end of that range, which is usually the material rather than the margin.
- The table starts at 12 because below that the engraving setup costs more than the goods, and we will not guess at a price there. Ask us and we will quote a smaller run from your artwork.
- Setup is free at every quantity, including 12.
