Together we’ll break (key)chains of love!
At True Metal Works, we not only make cute hard and soft enamel pins, but we also make stylish enamel keychains. The production process is generally the same and the pricing is just a shade more (as for the ring and assembly). The benefit is you can provide an entirely new SKU to your online shop and re-introduce an already great selling graphic in a new medium.
To start the inspiration process, here are a selection of top 9 keychains we’ve made at your favorite locally ran pin manufacture: True Metal Works.
