Is Soft PVC Safe for Everyday Use?

Absolutely. The Yorkie keychain is made from Soft PVC (polyvinyl chloride with non-phthalate plasticizers), a material chosen specifically for its balance of flexibility, strength, and safety. Unlike harder plastics that crack under stress, Soft PVC has a Shore A hardness of 60 ± 5 — similar to a thick rubber band — providing a comfortable, non-irritating texture.

Physical Properties of Soft PVC

All materials used in production are REACH and RoHS certified, meaning they are free from lead, cadmium, mercury, phthalates, and other restricted substances. The product also meets EN71 and ASTM F963 toy safety standards, making it safe for ages 3+. The factory operates under ISO 9001 quality management certification.

Durability Highlights

· The embossed design is molded directly into the Soft PVC — the colors are implanted, not painted on. Thousands of bend cycles produce no visual wear on the Yorkie face pattern.

· The zinc alloy split ring undergoes a nickel-plating anti-rust treatment, tested to withstand 5,000+ open-close cycles without deformation or corrosion.

· The Soft PVC material is fully waterproof, UV-resistant, and withstands sweat, rain, hand sanitizer, and mild cleaning agents without degradation. Colors remain bright even after prolonged exposure.

· Under normal daily use (keys, bags, backpacks), the keychain maintains its appearance for 2 to 3 years. The metal hardware retains its clamping force for the same period without loosening.

Compared to acrylic or hard plastic keychains, Soft PVC offers better impact resistance and a more pleasant tactile feel. Compared to silicone, Soft PVC achieves sharper detail and more vibrant color saturation in embossed designs. The black edge outline (side wall) gives the Yorkie charm a clean, professional finish that stands out from ordinary flat keychains.

Every element of this Yorkie keychain can be customized to match your brand identity or personal preference. Whether you need a single logo for a pet store promotion or a fully custom dog breed design for a retail line, our factory handles it with precision.

1. Back Logo Printing

The flat beige back surface is specifically designed for custom branding. We offer two methods:

· **Screen printing** — Apply your logo, brand name, phone number, or QR code in any Pantone color. Sharp, opaque, and durable.

· **Debossing** — Your logo is pressed into the PVC surface, creating a recessed mark that matches the material's natural texture.

2. Color Customization

Choose any Pantone color for the front design elements or the entire charm. Our factory uses formula-based dyeing (not surface coating), so the color is "through and through" — scratches will not reveal a different color underneath.

3. Custom Shape & Design

Want a keychain that looks exactly like your own dog? Send us a clear front-facing photo of your pet, and our designers will create a custom PVC charm in your dog's likeness. We can adapt the silhouette to any dog breed, animal, or mascot design.

4. Hardware Customization

· Key ring finish: Silver, gold, gunmetal, rose gold, or black nickel plating

· Chain connector: Standard oval link, double-link, or direct ring-to-charm connection

· Packaging: Header card, hang tag, poly bag, or branded gift box

Our in-house design team provides a free artwork mockup within 24 hours. We will work with you to adjust colors, proportions, and details until the sample matches your vision perfectly.

Each Yorkie keychain is individually packed in a clear OPP polybag to prevent scratching during transit. For wholesale orders, the polybagged units are packed into export-standard 5-layer corrugated cartons, with each carton containing 500 to 2,000 pieces depending on packaging type. Cartons are sealed with reinforced packing tape and labeled with shipping marks.

1. What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for custom Yorkie PVC keychains?

The MOQ for a custom-molded design (your own dog breed shape, Pantone colors, and back logo) is 300 pieces per design. If you use our existing Yorkie mold and only customize the back logo printing, the MOQ is 100 pieces with no mold fee. For stock designs (no customization), the MOQ is 50 pieces. For first-time custom orders under 300 pieces, a one-time mold fee of $80–$120 applies depending on design complexity.

2. How long does it take to receive a sample?

Once your artwork is approved, we create the sample mold within 5–7 working days and ship the finished sample via express courier. You will receive it in 5–7 working days (domestic China) or 7–10 working days (international DHL/FedEx). The sample fee is $50 per design, fully refunded when you place a bulk order of 500 pieces or more. Stock samples (existing design) ship within 1–2 days — free of charge, you only pay the freight.

3. Can I get my own dog breed instead of a Yorkie?

Absolutely. Send us a clear front-facing or side-profile photo of your dog, along with any color references, and our design team will create a custom PVC charm in your pet's likeness. We can reproduce any dog breed, cat breed, or animal mascot. The same soft PVC process applies — vibrant color patches, black outline detail, and a solid back for logo printing. Custom shape orders require a new mold (MOQ 300 pieces, mold fee $80–$120).

4. Is the PVC material safe for children and pets?

Yes. Our Soft PVC is non-toxic, BPA-free, phthalate-free, and passes EN71 (EU) and ASTM F963 (USA) toy safety standards. It is safe for ages 3+. For pet use (e.g., attaching to a dog collar or leash), the material is also non-irritating and safe if chewed, though we recommend supervising pets with small accessories. We can provide third-party test reports upon request.

5. Can you put my logo on the back?

Yes — this is one of the most popular customization options. The flat solid beige back surface is specifically designed for screen printing or debossing. We can print your logo, business name, website URL, phone number, or QR code. The print is heat-cured for durability and will not wash off or fade. We offer free artwork setup and can match any Pantone color. Maximum print area on the back: approximately 3 cm × 2.5 cm (1.2" × 1").

6. How do I clean the keychain without damaging it?

Simply wipe the charm with a soft cloth dampened in mild soapy water, then rinse with clean water and air dry. Because the colors are embedded in the PVC material (not painted on the surface), there is no ink layer that can be rubbed off by cleaning. Avoid abrasive pads, strong solvents (acetone, alcohol-based cleaners), and prolonged direct sunlight. Regular cleaning once a month will maintain the original appearance for 2–3 years. The metal key ring can be wiped clean with a dry cloth.

7. What safety certifications do your PVC keychains have?

Our Soft PVC keychains are certified to meet REACH (EU) and RoHS (global) standards — free from restricted phthalates, lead, cadmium, mercury, and hexavalent chromium. The factory operates under ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management. We can provide test reports and certificates upon request. Additional certifications (FDA, EN71, ASTM F963) are available for an extra testing fee.

8. What are the payment terms for orders?

We accept T/T bank transfer (30% deposit + 70% balance before shipment), L/C at sight for orders above $5,000, and Western Union for sample orders under $200. PayPal is available for orders under $3,000. For repeat customers, we offer net 30-day terms on orders exceeding $10,000. All prices are quoted FOB Shenzhen, or CIF/DDP depending on your destination.

9. Can I mix multiple designs in one order?

Yes. We allow mixed designs within a single production batch. For example: 200 Yorkie keychains with Logo A and 300 custom Poodle keychains with Logo B — shipped together in one container. Each unique design requires its own mold, but multiple molds can run simultaneously without extending lead time. Mixing designs helps you save on shipping costs and meet minimum order thresholds.

10. What is your warranty or replacement policy?

We offer a 100% quality guarantee: if the keychain shows material defects (cracks, discoloration, hardware failure) within 6 months of delivery, we replace the defective units free of charge. Defects caused by intentional damage, extreme heat exposure, or chemical contact are excluded. For customized products, we require photo evidence within 7 days of receipt to initiate replacement. The replacement is shipped with your next order, or at shared freight cost if expedited.
