Key chains are highly visible items of personal property. They travel everywhere with your members, more often than not in their hands. Custom Logo Barcode Key Tags with your facility’s logo on the front and information on the back are an effective and inexpensive way to advertise your business. Custom Logo Barcode Key Tags can also help your members in the unfortunate event that they lose their keys. Anyone who finds a set of keys with your club’s phone number on a Key Tag will most likely call the club to find the keys’ rightful owner. The Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) is 500 units.
Key Tag dimensions are 2 1/2″ x 1 3/8″.
Here is a brief overview of the process for Custom Logo Barcode Key Tags:
- You email [email protected] the following items:
- Your Key Tag artwork
- Your color selection (if artwork is a single color)
- The text you want on the back of the Key Tag (up to 3 lines)
- Once we have have all of the information in-hand we send your order to our Production team.
- You will receive a color proof (in PDF format) within 1-3 business days.
- Once you have confirmed that the proof is correct you must:
- print the proof
- check the “Approved for Production” box
- sign and date it
- and email it back to us [email protected]
- You will receive an email with tracking information when your Key Tags ship (usually within about fifteen business days from when we receive your signed proof approval).
Please read through the steps below and note the important role that you will play in getting your Key Tag order into production as quickly as possible.
Please keep in mind that the custom process can take up to three weeks from the time your artwork is received to the time of delivery (regardless of your facility’s opening day), so please plan ahead. Rush Service for $75.00 is available on Custom Logo Barcode Key Tags and will decrease production time from three weeks to two weeks.
Step 1: Send us your logo for the front of the Key Tag
For best results, your logo should be sent to us in the original format in which it was created. Optimal formats are EPS (from Adobe Illustrator), AI (from Adobe Illustrator) or PDF (from Adobe Acrobat). JPEG and other formats are acceptable if the image is larger than 600 pixels wide and saved at “best” or 100% quality.
Generally, scanned images (e.g. from a business card or letterhead) do not reproduce well in the printing process and are not accepted.
If you created the logo in Adobe Illustrator, then you should take the following steps before sending a copy of the file:
- Choose Select All from the Edit menu to select all text objects.
- Choose Create Outlines from the Type menu.
This will ensure that all fonts are reproduced exactly as you intended.
If you had someone else create the logo, you can have them send us the file directly to [email protected]
Step 2: Specify color(s) for your Logo
If your logo is a single color then you need to specify the exact ink color for printing. View a Pantone color chart here.
The printing process requires that colors are specified explicitly using the Pantone Matching System (or PMS). PMS describes every color as a single number. If your artwork was created by a graphics artist then the PMS color number(s) will probably be indicated in the artwork file.
Please note, however, that the color(s) you select may not come out as an exact match with your printed Key Tags (because of differences between computer monitors and desktop printers).
If your logo includes many colors, then the printers will do their best to match the artwork that you send us.
Step 3: Text Information for the back of the Key Tag
Your Key Tags can include up to three lines of text on the back along with the barcode. You should indicate the desired text in your Key Tag order. Each text line can be fairly long, so don’t hesitate to include all the information that you would like on the Key Tag. If the text is too long then we will contact you with possible changes.
Please send all artwork, Key Tag information and inquiries to [email protected]. Include your full contact information including business name, shipping address and phone number. If possible, also include your Key Tag order invoice number.
Please email your artwork & information to [email protected].
