Just Keyrings in the Modern Era

As a small business that started in a living room study, Just Keyrings Ltd has gone through many changes, which have greatly affected both how we function as a business and what we produce and sell.

There was a time, when we would make every keyring / keyfob by hand, from the printing and cutting of the inserts, to the pressing of the plastic and quality control before posting them to our (very first) customers.

Times have changed and we've expanded. While we did our best to control all our products first hand, it became obvious that to become a keyring specialist and expert in the field, we would have to expand our product range too much more than what we could produce ourselves.

We still like to keep everything as local as possible and our warehouses based in the UK still manufacture products such as our‚ Ad-Loops‚ metal insert keyrings, Acrylic keyrings‚ and Plastic Card keyrings. Ad-Loops and acrylic insert keyrings can often be the perfect answer for quick and effective advertising and promotional campaign. As free giveaways or as a method of ensuring your business details are always with your customer, I personally believe there is no better promotional item than the not-so-plain but very simple Ad-Loop Keyring. More on ad loops here.

However, recent developments in synthetics and flexible plastics have opened up a whole new market and opportunity to use keyfobs in a different way. Popular demand for customised designs and unusual materials has continued to rise and doesn't show any signs of stopping. Indeed it's now become a very effective method of company branding to use recognisable key fobs that attract attention and/or sell for big money. From car manufacturers to fashion giants and world-renowned breweries every business (big or small) has a custom made keychain. No longer essential only for keeping your keys together, but for many people they're a fashion item and tell people who they belong to.

Just Keyrings is a relatively small business and as such there are several reasons for sourcing goods from China. Inevitably price is a big factor but perhaps not for the reasons that first spring to mind. As a business that specialises in such a small niche (just keyrings!) we love competing with our competition - we find it easy! By having ultra small overheads it not only means that we can beat any price thrown at us - but our service is improved too. Having such a streamlined team means that every member of staff bring specialist expertise and a friendly, personal service at all times. We're all dedicated to getting exactly what is best for you and your business.

In order to find what's right for each and every business, we aim to have every option available. Sometimes this may mean getting back down on our hands and knees and doing it ourselves, but equally, it could mean sourcing a liquid filled pvc keyring that can't be manufactured in the UK. As we have become increasingly used to dealing with lead times, fluctuating prices and shipping and duty issues associated with sourcing from China, we have been able to bring you a greater range of keyrings, without sacrificing the efficient, customer friendly style of business that has always been a huge part of Just Keyrings Ltd. Something we will always continue...
