- Standard production is typically 3–4 business days after proof approval; rush and expedited options are available when shown at checkout.
If your design demands more space, consider stepping up to a larger size. If simplicity and budget are priorities, the 1 inch round delivers strong value.

What are custom button keychains best for?
Business giveaways, school fundraisers, trade show promotions, retail merch, campaign materials, and artist or band merchandise — anywhere you want an affordable, lightweight branded item people carry daily.
Is 1 inch too small for a custom keychain?
Not for the right design. Simple logos, icons, initials, and bold 1–2 word messages look sharp at this size. If your artwork has fine detail or long text, consider a larger size for best results.
Can I upload my own artwork?
Yes. Upload custom artwork through the online configurator. We accept AI, PDF, SVG, PSD, and high-resolution image formats.
Do I get a proof before production?
Every order includes professional proof approval before production begins. Your digital mockup shows exactly how your design will appear on the finished keychain.
What is the Versa-Back split ring with tab?
The Versa-Back is a plastic backing piece that snaps into the metal shell, replacing a traditional pin-back. The tab connects to a metal split ring for secure attachment to keys, bags, or lanyards.
Do prices go down when I order more?
Yes. Pricing updates automatically in the configurator based on quantity. Larger bulk orders receive better per-unit pricing.
Can I order multiple designs?
Yes. You can include different designs within a single order — perfect for collector sets, multiple brand variations, or mixed event promotions.
Can custom button keychains be rushed?
Rush and expedited options are available when shown at checkout. Standard production is typically 3–4 business days after proof approval. Local pickup may be available at Copyland's West LA, Gardena, and Burbank locations when selected at checkout.
What file types can I upload?
Vector formats (AI, PDF, SVG) for the sharpest results, plus high-resolution raster files (PNG, JPG, PSD at 300 dpi). Vector files are recommended for logos and text-based designs.
Should I choose a keychain or a pinback button?
Choose keychains when you want recipients to carry your brand daily on keys or bags. Choose pinback buttons when the goal is wearable display on clothing or lanyards. Research suggests 79% of recipients are more likely to do business with a brand after receiving a promotional item.
