Engraved keyrings in Kenya

Engraved keyrings with durable readable personalization

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional engraving job: produce thirty adult promotional keyrings from purchased 50 × 25 mm anodised-aluminium blanks with prefinished holes. Each receives the same company logo within a 35 × 12 mm artwork box and one supplied split ring. Purchase two spare blanks for fixture and contrast checks. The buyer approves the actual-size proof and material colour. Exclude structural tags, access-control devices, child toys and unsupported stainless-steel or permanent-marking claims.
