Custom Acrylic Keychains in Mexico — die-cut, UV-printed, epoxy-coated
Clear acrylic, frosted acrylic, holographic acrylic and epoxy-coated acrylic charms for the trade-show giveaway, the congress delegate bag and the brand-launch kit. UV-printed full-colour photographic reproduction on both sides, die-cut to the brand silhouette. NOM-050 environmental labelling and LFPCA compliance. CFDI 4.0 in MXN; USMCA filings for cross-border drops.
Why acrylic keychains dominate the trade-show delegate bag
Acrylic keychains are the lowest-cost-per-impression piece in the corporate-merch catalogue. A die-cut acrylic charm at 35 × 35 mm runs at the price of a postcard but delivers a brand impression that lives on the recipient's keyring for 18 to 36 months. The trade-show circuit — Centro Citibanamex, WTC CDMX, Expo Guadalajara, CintermEX — runs the acrylic keychain as the standard delegate-bag insertion alongside the tote bag and the bottled water.
The Mexican acrylic keychain industry concentrates in Estado de México, Jalisco and CDMX. The acrylic sheets are sourced from Mexican and Asian converters; the UV-print lines run in Estado de México and Jalisco; the die-cutting, epoxy-coating and assembly runs in the same plants. The Mexican-made acrylic keychain ships within 7–14 days from artwork approval; the Asian-sourced alternative adds 21–28 days for sea freight and is uneconomic for time-sensitive programs. The industry has scaled significantly over the last decade to support the trade-show circuit, with annual output measured in tens of millions of pieces across the country.

Decoration, hardware and packaging
UV print handles the full-colour photographic reproduction on both sides. The UV ink cures under UV light in a single pass and is scratch-resistant to 100+ abrasion cycles. For double-sided prints the artwork must be supplied as two separate files aligned to the cut line. We produce a single decorated sample before full production to confirm colour accuracy and registration.
Hardware options: 25mm split-ring (the standard), 25mm lobster-claw clasp (the bag-attachment upgrade), 25mm carabiner (the outdoor-program upgrade). All hardware is nickel-plated steel; gold and rose-gold finishes are available at a small premium. The hardware is attached with a rivet press; the rivet is set in a 4mm hole at the top of the charm.
Packaging: bulk-pack in poly-bags (the trade-show default), individual cellophane wrap with back-card insert (the retail upgrade), individual rigid gift box with hot-stamped corporate logo (the executive-gift upgrade). Each packaging option has a per-unit cost line on the quote.

Clear acrylic charm, 50×35mm, UV-printed full-colour on both sides, with a 25mm split-ring. Run of 1,000 + 5% spares, lead time 7–10 days. Delivered to the venue loading dock on the setup day.
Do you include the LFPCA compliance documentation?
Yes — every acrylic keychain carries the LFPCA consumer-protection compliance documentation on the packaging. The NOM-050 environmental-claim documentation is included where the acrylic sheet carries a recycled-content claim.
Can you ship USMCA-documented keychains to Laredo?
Yes — we file the USMCA supplier declaration and the preference criterion statement on every cross-border drop. The same keychains that walk out of an Estado de México plant for a US brand-launch event do not require re-invoicing in the US when the preference criterion is met.
