These custom double sided acrylic keychains are built for anime and fandom merchandise programs: convention booth SKUs, artist-collab drops, subscription-box inserts and online-shop add-ons. Each charm is laser-cut from clear acrylic to the outline of your character art, printed in full color with a white underprint, and hung on metal hardware we attach at our bench before the order ships. The samples in this page photograph original chibi-style artwork to demonstrate what the print holds; your own character files replace them line for line. Order quantity starts at 100 pcs per design, physical samples return in 3-5 days, and repeat production runs 7-15 days after artwork approval.

What The Charm Photograph Actually Proves

The first photo is deliberately honest: two identical charms lying on a blue surface so the edges, the margin and the hardware are all visible at once. You can see the acrylic is colorless and clear, because a uniform transparent band follows every cut line around the printed figure and the background shows straight through it. That margin is a real production variable, not an accident: we set it at 1-2 mm by default and can hold tighter or wider per your die line. The printed area itself is opaque and saturated, with the deep eyes, blush marks and pastel costume rendered without banding. The second attached piece on each unit is a smaller paw-pad charm on its own jump ring, which shows how a two-piece bundle assembles on one keyring without extra tooling. Metal on the shot is silver-tone: a spring lobster clasp, two or three oval chain links, and open jump rings. Nothing in the frame was faked for the photo, and the pair of charms you approve is the pair your order will be checked against. We also photograph incoming artwork masters next to the cut charm during first-article inspection, because the two most common buyer complaints on imported charms, washed-out pastel fills and a hole drilled a millimeter off the art’s crown, both get caught at that step rather than after ten thousand units. Tolerances we hold at the bench: hole placement kept clear of the printed crown so the artwork is never punched through, chain gauges sized so a split ring does not bind on the charm hole during repeated clipping, and cut contours walked with the die line so narrow limbs like raised arms and tail tips do not carry thin slivers of board that snap in a pocket. None of that shows up in a spec sheet email, which is why the physical sample exists and why we keep production locked to the signed piece rather than to the file that started it.

Two Faces Of Ink Instead Of A Glued Insert

A double sided print means the rear face carries its own full-color layer, so a fan holding the charm at arm’s length sees clean art even when the piece flips over on a bag zip. Our route is direct UV printing onto acrylic with white ink under the color, which keeps skin tones and pastel fills from going muddy against the transparent board. Some suppliers sell a single printed face with a paper or film insert trapped between two plates; that insert route shifts on humid shipping lanes and shows a visible air gap within weeks. We print into the board itself, and the bond is the board. Where a program genuinely needs one printed face plus a clear reverse, we run that layout too, but we say so on the sample card so nobody surprises the booth. In the second photo on this page you can watch the print logic directly: the artwork body ghosts faintly through to the opposite face of the clear slab, and our sample run will be photographed on both sides for your approval before anything is scheduled into mass production.

Hardware, Dangles And Bundle Pieces

Keychain hardware is where a fad charm either feels cheap or feels stocked. From the photos, three hardware families are proven on these samples: a lobster clasp with a short link chain for bag and zip-pull use, a split ring with jump ring for keys, and a decorative star charm on a swivel clasp in the third photo. All of it is silver-tone metal as standard; antique brass, black nickel and gold-tone runs are quotable when a collection palette demands them. Secondary dangle charms, like the paw pad on the first image or the star on the third, cut from the same sheet layout as the main figure, so they cost you board area and a few seconds of assembly rather than a separate tool. A swivel on the clasp is a small upgrade that stops charms from twisting and twisting the print face away from the buyer’s eye at retail, and we recommend it for every single-facing hang card SKU.

Who Reorders These, And When

The three repeat buyer profiles we serve in this style are convention vendors, independent artists, and merchandise teams at studios and event organizers. Convention vendors compress everything into a booth calendar: files land four to five weeks out, a physical sample approves the color, and the bulk lands 7-15 days after approval, timed so cartons clear freight before load-in. Artists running a collab drop usually want two to four design variants in short parallel runs; each variant carries its own 100 pcs per design MOQ, and we schedule them onto shared sheet layouts so mixed variants ship in one carton and one freight bill. Event teams buy these as attendee keepsakes with a date locked on the back face, which is exactly where a true second-side print earns its freight. If your window is summer conventions or a December show, book the artwork review six weeks ahead and the calendar works without air freight.

Specification Snapshot

Samples, Approval, And The Production Clock

Send vector art or a clean raster file at print scale, and the first deliverable is a free digital mock-up showing placement, margin and hardware within a day of file check. Pay the physical sample if you want the charm in hand, and it leaves our workshop in 3-5 days: front-lit photos on both faces ride along whether or not you ordered the piece itself. Approval is the gate that matters commercially. The moment you sign a sample or an approved PDF, the 7-15 day bulk clock starts, and the sheet layout is locked to your sign-off, color and hardware together. Late changes after that gate reopen the clock, which is the single most common way a convention run misses its load-in. For mixed colorways under one drop, each colorway is its own design at 100 pcs per design, but the variants share one layout and one shipment, so the freight bill does not grow with the number of skins you print.

Reference Pricing Logic And MOQ Math

We quote on a 100-piece reference tier so you can compare layouts before committing volume: charm area, number of printed faces, dangle count and hardware type move the unit figure, sheet yield moves it further, and hardware families with decorative metal pieces price above bare split-ring builds. Nothing on this page pins a unit price, because a fair number needs your die line in front of us; send the file and the quote comes back itemized to charm, print face and hardware so you can cut scope yourself. Where a program needs to blend several designs under one budget, the per-design MOQ is the real planning variable, not the total piece count, and our merch coordinators routinely sketch three-tier SKU trees, hero charm, standard charm, dangle-only piece, so the booth has a price ladder without breaking the 100 pcs per design floor.

Packing Acrylic So It Lands Intact

Acrylic charms are the tough kind of fragile: they survive drops that shatter glass, but a bare edge rubbing against a bare edge in a loose carton picks up scratches across the print face by the time the container opens. Standard protection is one OPP sleeve per charm, hang cards sandwiched between foam layers, retail boxes packed tight with dividers, and a double-wall outer case that holds its form beneath a second tier in the container. The shipping picture below documents the case standard instead of one SKU: foam-cushioned inner packs, labeled outer corrugation, and a pallet scheme engineered against corner crush. Routing choices include ocean freight plus truck, air, or courier lanes on DHL, UPS, FedEx and TNT, all leaving the same bench, and FBA-bound consignments get labeled and cartoned to Amazon case requirements in-house. If a buyer’s address is a hotel or a convention hall, tell us at order time; we stiffen the inner packaging for hand-carry lanes where parcels get tossed.
