Personalised Keychains & Bag Tags: The Design Guide

The NFC Tag Designer builds name keychains, luggage tags and bag tags the way you'd sketch them: type the name, pick a shape (or upload a logo), choose engraved or raised, and watch the 3D preview update live.

Engraved or raised?

Engraved cuts the name into the tag — sleeker, wears essentially forever, and reads beautifully in two-colour prints. Raised stands the letters up off the plate for a bolder, chunkier look you can feel. On school bags and kids' gear, raised text survives rough treatment; on keys, engraved stays crisp in a pocket full of coins.

Which shape for which job?

Frequently asked questions

How durable is a printed keychain?

Very — tags are printed solid with a reinforced loop. For maximum toughness (kids' bags, heavy key use) we print in PETG, which shrugs off flex and drops.

Does it come with the keyring?

Tags include the ring loop; pair it with any standard 25mm split ring. Ordered tags ship ready to clip on.

How many letters fit?

Short names read biggest and boldest. Longer names auto-scale to fit the shape — the preview shows exactly what you'll get before you order.

Can I do a logo keychain for my business?

Yes — upload mode traces your logo in the browser. Bulk orders for clubs and teams are welcome, email us for quantity pricing.

Can I pick two colours?

Yes — engraved text in a second colour is the premium look (e.g. white name in a black tag). Choose it in the studio.

How long does it take?

Printed to order in 3-5 days in Melbourne, then tracked shipping Australia-wide and to the US.
