SOURCE ANYTHING BY THE/STUDIO

Custom photo keychain manufacturer for your brand

A photo keychain is a compact, portable accessory that displays a printed or engraved image - typically a personal photo, logo, or branded artwork - on materials like acrylic, wood, or PU leather. THE/STUDIO makes it easy to develop your own custom photo keychain by pairing you with vetted factories worldwide and a built-in production team that handles everything from your initial brief and tech pack through sampling and manufacturing.

WHAT WE BUILD

Custom photo keychains we build

Your spec

Bring your own pattern or tech pack and we build to it.

From acrylic photo keychains to your most elaborate vision

A plain acrylic photo keychain with a single printed image is straightforward factory work. A fully developed custom photo keychain featuring epoxy dome / doming over detailed artwork transforms the piece into a finished, retail-ready accessory with depth and dimension. Our production team handles both ends, but the elaborate build is what most brands brief us for.
