Your second charm and logo charm will be printed onto the same material as your main charm.

How do I submit the artwork for the smaller second charm and logo charm?
Please use separate 25mm charm templates to submit your second charm and logo charm designs.

Which side of my charms will my chosen 'finish' be applied to?
All finishes; gloss, matte, resin and glitter resin will be applied to SIDE B of your clear acrylic charms. Please bear this in mind if you have selected single sided clear acrylic charms, as this means that we will apply your chosen finish to the plain white reverse of your charms.

What are the finishes on the smaller second charms and logo charms?

How will my items be packaged?
We stopped using single use plastics, including plastic packaging, back in 2020. On occasions where your custom merchandise needs to be individually packaged, to ensure that it's protected in transit, we use fully compostable and recyclable paper bags that are made from FSC accredited, natural and renewable sources.

We looked at eco-friendly biodegradable plastic bags and small countertop style paper bags and found that our choice of paper bag, although still not better than no packaging, was significantly kinder to the environment than biodegradable plastics.

Bioplastics are either compostable OR recyclable, whereas paper is biodegradable AND recyclable, and can be recycled and reused up to 6 or 7 times before the paper fibres can no longer be used for paper production.

Production times for our custom keychain manufacturing service is approximately 11 working days for keychains with a matte or gloss finish and approimately 13 working days for keychains with a resin or glitter resin finish*

All dates are from proof approval plus the delivery times below...

Recycled Acrylic Merchandise

We now produce an 'Eco' range of acrylic merchandise; manufactured using 100% recycled and recyclable acrylics, that have reached the end of their life-cycle and are destined for landfill or incineration.

Recycled acrylic (R-MMA) looks and performs as well as standard virgin acrylic (PMMA) whilst being completely VOC and HFC free and significantly kinder to the environment.

Our acrylic suppliers are auto-sustainable and power their production facility using waste products from their manufacturing processes.

All our acrylics, both ‘Eco’ and ‘regular’ are collected by our suppliers and recycled into R-MMA. This has eliminated our acrylic waste.

• Regularly research ways to minimise the impact that our business practices have on the environment
