Can you help me set up my designs?

What are double layered acrylic keychains?
Unlike our classic clear acrylic charms & keychains, which are made from one layer of acrylic, our double layered acrylic charms & keychains are made from two layers of 2mm thick acrylic, with the printed element of your charm designs sandwiched between these 2 layers.
This means that the printed element of your charm design is protected on both sides by acrylic, creating an extremely durable acrylic charm.
How thick is the acrylic?
Our double layered clear acrylic charms & keychains are made from 2 layers of 2mm thick acrylic, giving an overall thickness of 4mm.
Can my design be printed right up to the edge of the acrylic?
Yes! Our double layered charms & keychains allow your designs to be printed right up to the edge of the clear acrylic. You can still have a border of course. Simply set this up in our design templates or let one of our design team know if you'd like a border or edge-to-edg printing.
How is the acrylic Eco friendly?
Our clear, black and white acrylics are made from recycled plastics that had reached the end of their life-cycle and were destined for landfill and incineration.
Recycled acrylic (R-MMA) looks and performs as well as standard virgin acrylic (PMMA) whilst being VOC and HFC free and significantly kinder to the environment.
Which side of my charms will my chosen 'finish' be applied to?
Resin and glitter resin will be applied to SIDE A of your duble layered clear acrylic charms.
Can my charms have more than one hole or loop?
Yes. To create more than 1 hole/loop, simply duplicate the hole/loop layer, position the holes/loops where you would like them, before merging the duplicate hole/loop layers together.
What are the coloured connectors for?
The coloured connectors attach the metal keychain component to your acrylic charms.
Will the jump ring colour match my keychain?
Yes, we use the same plating for your jump rings as we do for your keychain findings.
