Video transcript

  1. 0:00Most rubber keychains are soft PVC or silicone. Here's how to choose.
  2. 0:05Soft PVC is plastisol, filled color by color into walled cells, then heat-fused. Silicone is pressed and cured, with no plasticizer. If a quote just says rubber, ask.
  3. 0:18PVC's walled cells keep five or six colors crisp. Silicone suits bold shapes and debossed logos, with softer, matte color. Approve a molded swatch.
  4. 0:29Then, where it lives. PVC is thermoplastic and can soften on a hot dashboard. Silicone holds shape, but tears more easily once notched at the ring hole.
  5. 0:39Documents and cost: for PVC, get a third-party report on the actual compound; for silicone, confirm the cure. Quote both on an identical specification.
  6. 0:50Fine multi-color brand art usually points to soft PVC.
  7. 0:55Send artwork and intended use; we'll check whether soft PVC fits.
