What is the 1 1/4" x 2 1/4" Gold Oval Brass Plated Keychain?
Item BKR13 is a keychain in brass, chosen for how well it takes a mark and how long that mark lasts. It measures 1 1/4"(L) x 2 1/4"(H) 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. The two together are why this item re-orders.
The dependable middle. Recipients register it as a real object rather than a handout, and you can still order in the quantities a full team needs. Concretely: $12.90 each at 1-11, $8.00 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 1 in x 1 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
- Artwork we redraw stays on file under your item number, so the next order runs from the same corrected file.
- If the logo is only available as a bitmap, we need it at 300 dpi or better at final size, ideally on a transparent background.
- Do not spend a week hunting for the perfect file. Send what exists and we will tell you what is usable.
- Convert all type to outlines so fonts do not substitute in production.
- Nothing is produced before you approve a proof in writing. That is a hard rule, not a courtesy.
- A 300 dpi raster at the actual imprint dimensions will run cleanly. Anything pulled from a web page usually will not.
Production schedule

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.
Weddings, Reunions & Milestone Events
Personal events are the one segment where the recipient genuinely wants the item personalized. The deadline is absolute in a way it is not in any other segment. A wedding does not move, which means production scheduling, not selection, is where these orders fail. Lock artwork six weeks out and the rest is straightforward. Brass is the traditional engraving metal: dense, warm-toned and long-lived.. The workhorse choice for this audience, and it re-orders predictably.
Automotive & Dealerships
Delivery day is the highest-emotion moment in the customer relationship. Anything that goes in or on a vehicle gets judged against the vehicle. A cheap keychain handed over with a car undercuts the purchase in a way that giving nothing would not, which makes this one of the few segments where under-spending is the bigger risk. Priced so you can cover everyone without cheapening the gesture.
Real Estate & Closing Gifts
A closing gift is a referral instrument, not a thank-you note. The right gift stays in the new home, gets used in front of guests, and prompts the question "where did you get that?". That is the moment your name comes up. Personalizing with the family name rather than the brokerage logo dramatically increases the odds it stays out on display. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. At $8.00 in volume the cost per kept item is hard to beat.
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. An imprint area of 1 in x 1 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. Roughly 38% comes off between one piece and a full run.
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. At $12.90 before breaks this is the tier most programmes should live in.

What do buyers ask about BKR13?
What happens if something arrives damaged?
Tell us within 10 days of delivery and we replace it. Note any damage on the freight bill before you sign for it, because that is what the carrier claim turns on. Resolving it with the carrier is our job, not yours. The replacement runs from the artwork you already approved, so it matches the rest of the order.
Do you keep this item in stock?
Yes. The warehouse shows 780 of BKR13 in stock as of the last hourly sync. If a color is short we say so the day you order rather than the week before the deadline. 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 artwork do you need from me?
Send vector if it exists, raster at 300 dpi if it does not, and whatever you have if neither. The personalization area on BKR13 is 1 in x 1 in, and we redraw or re-proportion anything that will not survive it. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing.
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. BKR13 sells from a single unit at $12.90, 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.
What does it actually cost at quantity?
The published ladder on BKR13 runs from $12.90 a piece at 1-11 down to $8.00 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. Price breaks on this item fall at 1-11, 12-23, 24-47, 48-95, 96-249, 250-499, 500+. Engraving is a separate line, shown per quantity in the cost table on this page, so the all-in figure is visible before checkout. Ground freight is free on orders over $250.
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.
What is the minimum order for BKR13?
There is no minimum beyond one piece on BKR13. 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 BKR13 runs from $12.90 a piece at 1-11 down to $8.00 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.

| Quantity | Piece | Engraving | All-in each | Order total | Ground freight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12 | $11.87 | $3.75 | $15.62 | $187.44 | Priced by weight |

- Ground freight is free from 24 pieces, which is where this order passes $250.00 of merchandise.
- The personalization area is 1 in by 1 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 23% 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.
