Curious how a custom keychain goes from a sketch to a finished product? Here is the process we follow as a Yiwu factory, from artwork to your door.
1. Artwork & quote
You send a design, drawing or reference photo plus target quantity. We confirm feasibility, exact MOQ, unit price and production time within 24 hours.
2. Mold & sample
We create the mold for your 2D or 3D zinc alloy shape and produce a pre-production sample (or photo/video) for your approval.
3. Casting & plating
Pieces are cast in zinc alloy and plated in your chosen finish — gold, silver, gunmetal, rainbow or black nickel.
4. Enamel fill & finishing
Soft enamel color is filled by hand to match your design, then cured and finished.
5. QC, packing & shipping
After quality checks we add logo tags or custom backing cards and ship from Yiwu — typically 5-12 business days to the US after dispatch. The timeline is confirmed in writing before payment.
