Bulk Custom Keychains — Wholesale Supplier for 500 to 100,000 Pieces
Ordering bulk custom keychains at 500 pieces and above is where unit cost drops sharply. We run wholesale keychain programmes from 500 to 100,000+ pieces across six materials, with in-house tooling, Pantone-matched colour and a single QC checkpoint before carton packing.

Capacity and Lead Time at Scale
Our Guangzhou facility covers 64,000 square metres with dedicated metal, silicone and sewing lines. Monthly keychain capacity exceeds 800,000 pieces across all materials.
Lead time at 5,000 pieces is 18–22 days; at 20,000 pieces, 25–30 days. Air shipping 5–8 days, sea freight 25–35 days. We hold safety stock of common blanks so rush orders under 10 days are possible on request.
What Bulk Buyers Should Check Before Signing
Ask for the mold ownership clause — some suppliers retain tooling and charge you again on reorder. We register molds to your company and store them free for 24 months. Ask whether plating thickness is specified; we plate to 0.03–0.05 micron nickel undercoat with gold or chrome topcoat. Ask for a pre-shipment inspection report with AQL 2.5 sampling.
