Keyring Evolution!

2010-03-03T15:26:00.006Z

Back in March 1922, a patent was issued to a man named G Herluf Johnson, for a keyring that was extremely simple to mass-produce and very practical - attach your keys to the ring, and they will fall off!

Not long after the introduction of the key ring, other useful accessories were being attached to keyrings other than just their keys - the key fob was born! Although the true origin of the word 'fob' is unknown, certain studies show that the word may be linked to the German word 'fuppe' meaning 'pocket'. Some believe the word originated from watch fobs (an ornament attached to the pocket-watch chain), which existed as early as 1888. These days we use the word fob to describe a variety of items including, key chains, car starters, garage door openers, and keyless entry devices.

In the 1950s and 1960s with the improvement of plastic manufacturing techniques, promotional keyfobs became more and more unique. Businesses could place their names on 3d promotional keyrings for a fraction of the price of the standard metal keychains.

As electronic technology continues to become smaller and cheaper, miniature key-fob versions of previously larger devices are becoming increasingly popular. The modern day keyring is no longer just a piece of plastic with a small message insert. Now digital photo frames, simple video games, USB flash drives and keyless entry systems all dominate the keyring world!

Even in recent years technologies in keyfobs have come a long way. Take for example early electric key fobs for un-locking cars remotely. Using infrared technology, they required a clear line-of-sight to function and at the time, they could be easily duplicated using a programmable remote control allowing thieves easy entry to your locked vehicle. Recent models now use radio frequencies, which are harder to copy and don't need line-of-sight to operate. Believe it or not, modern car key fobs can sometimes be confused as weapons! Nathan Rau, the proud owner of a 2003 Audi A4 found this out in April 2006, when he was arrested for possession of a concealed weapon – police confused his car keys for a switchblade!

These 30x50mm customizable promotional keyrings are perfect for people who need to be able to change the insert easily.

As well as being easy to change the insert, they are also perfect to hold a folded up document inside, displaying a city centre map at a tourist centre, a bus/train timetable or a menu for a restaurant.

Despite the extremely good value of these handy key rings (often from as little as 30p each) their high quality smooth finish and tough exterior ensure that they will be long lasting.

When it comes to finding the cheapest and most effective way to promote your business, it’s easy to see why so many people choose promotional keyrings.
