What is the 1" x 3" Gold Bowling Pin Brass Keychain?
Catalogued as BKR1, this serving bowl sits in the part of the range that gets re-ordered rather than tried once. It measures 1"(L) x 3"(H) x 1/16" thick. This is the gold colorway.
Brass is the traditional engraving metal: dense, warm-toned and long-lived.
Rotary or laser engraving cuts a crisp permanent line that can be color-filled. A serving piece goes on the table in front of guests, which is a different quality of impression entirely.
Programs that run year after year usually settle at this tier. It clears the quality bar that decides whether something is kept, without the per-unit cost that forces a shorter list. 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 0.6 in x 1.5 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
- 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.
- A digital proof comes back to you first, every time. Production starts on your written approval and not before.
- Vector files are the safe option. They hold their edges whether the mark runs at an inch or a foot.
- Artwork we redraw stays on file under your item number, so the next order runs from the same corrected file.
- 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.
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.
Hospitality, Restaurants & Breweries
In hospitality the promotional item and the retail item are the same object. Seasonality drives the order pattern. Terraces, patios and outdoor service create demand for a different specification than winter trade does, so most venues need two lists rather than one annual order. This is the sweet spot: real perceived value without a procurement conversation.
Corporate Gifting & Client Appreciation
Client gifting has one job: to be kept. A gift that lands on a client desk and stays there keeps working long after the meeting that prompted it. That argues for fewer, better pieces rather than a large volume of disposables, and for decoration that will still look intentional in two years. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. $13.95 before breaks buys something people keep rather than bin.
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. A serving piece goes on the table in front of guests, which is a different quality of impression entirely. Deep enough quantity is affordable here, which is unusual at this quality.
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. Rotary or laser engraving cuts a crisp permanent line that can be color-filled. The workhorse choice for this audience, and it re-orders predictably.

What do buyers ask about BKR1?
Can I see a proof before you produce the order?
Always, and we do not start without written approval. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing. Once approved, the proof becomes the specification for the run, so check the spelling and the placement carefully. The personalization area on BKR1 is 0.6 in x 1.5 in.
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 BKR1 is 0.6 in x 1.5 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.
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.
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.
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.
Is there a setup charge?
No. Setup is free on every order at every quantity. Art preparation, machine setup and your digital proof are built into the price, with nothing added for them later. Engraving is a separate line, shown per quantity in the cost table on this page, so the all-in figure is visible before checkout.
How should this be cared for?
Polish occasionally to maintain shine. BKR1 measures 1"(L) x 3"(H) x 1/16" thick and is made of brass. Brass is the traditional engraving metal: dense, warm-toned and long-lived. We keep the approved artwork on file against the item number, so a re-order runs from the same file.
What is the minimum order for BKR1?
There is no minimum beyond one piece on BKR1. 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 BKR1 runs from $13.95 a piece at 1-11 down to $8.65 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.

- At 50 pieces this costs less than 55% of the 273 other priced items in Home & Kitchen.
- 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.
