DG-RG026 is a 26mm flat wire split ring built for handbags, keychains, and leather goods hardware. Its tight coil and smooth open edge resist snagging and deformation under daily use. Custom logo engraving available. Free stock samples available; custom sample fees fully deductible from bulk orders.
Most people walk past a flat split key ring without a second thought — until they’re the one dealing with a batch that snags on leather straps or leaves a customer’s premium bag looking cheap after three months. That’s usually when we get the call. This custom logo flat key ring (model DG-RG026) started as a simple request from a handbag brand who wanted their coil ring to actually match the quality of the leather it was attached to. What came out of that project is now one of our most-reordered items.
A flat split ring looks simple, but the tolerances matter more than most buyers expect. Ours is wound from cold-drawn steel wire, flattened to a consistent 3mm profile, then double-coiled so the ring holds its shape under repeated pulling. In our factory, every batch goes through a tension test before it ships — we’re checking that the coil springs back to its original diameter after being pried open, not just that it looks round on the shelf.
One thing buyers often ask is why their previous supplier’s rings went out of round after a few months of use. Nine times out of ten it comes down to wire hardness. Soft wire is easier to stamp and cheaper to buy, but it fatigues fast. We run our coils at a hardness spec that costs a bit more upfront but holds shape through years of daily opening and closing — which matters a lot for bag hardware accessories that get handled constantly.
Every nickel plated key ring we produce goes through electroplating in-house, and the method depends on the finish requested. For standard nickel and gunmetal tones, we use barrel plating — parts tumble in bulk through the plating bath, which is efficient for high-volume orders but can leave slight variation on sharp edges. For the polished, mirror-level finish some designer brands want, we switch to rack plating, hanging each piece individually for even coverage, especially important when logo lettering needs to stay crisp.
After plating, we run salt spray testing on sample batches to check corrosion resistance before mass production ships. This is standard practice across the electroplating industry, and it’s how we catch weak plating adhesion before it becomes a customer complaint six months down the line.
The version shown with “CUSTOM LOGO” text is a good example of what most brands ask for on this shape. We offer a few different ways to put a logo on a curved surface like this:
For a first-time customer, we usually recommend sending your logo file as vector artwork (AI or EPS) so we can open a custom mold without guessing at proportions. Mold development for this ring style typically adds a few days on top of standard sample time, and we’ll walk you through proofs before anything goes to bulk production.
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all part. Buyers commonly adjust:
As a flat wire key ring manufacturer China-based buyers have worked with for close to two decades, we’ve built molds for everything from fashion accessory brands to industrial tool suppliers, so most custom requests aren’t starting from zero — we likely have a close reference mold already.
A mid-size European handbag label came to us after their existing supplier’s rings kept leaving faint rust spots near the coil opening — a common issue when plating doesn’t fully cover the inner seam where the wire overlaps. We rebuilt their spec around a thicker base plating layer with an added clear top coat, and switched their finish from barrel to rack plating for better coverage at the seam. The reorder came through two weeks after their first bulk shipment, with no returns reported on the corrosion issue.
Even well-plated hardware can degrade if stored badly before use. From a materials standpoint, we recommend:
For brands selling into the EU, some buyers also ask about material compliance — we can confirm our plating processes are formulated with REACH restricted substances in mind, and documentation is available on request during your sourcing evaluation.
Before any shipment leaves the factory, we run a 100% visual and dimensional check — not just sample-based spot checks. Coil gap consistency, plating coverage, and logo alignment are checked piece by piece on customized orders, since a misaligned logo on even a small percentage of a batch is the kind of thing that gets noticed once it’s on a finished bag.
Standard MOQ for this single-piece hardware category is 1000 pcs, though we can discuss adjustments depending on your customization level and order timeline. Reach out with your target quantity and we’ll confirm what’s workable.
Stock samples in our standard sizes and finishes are free. Custom samples with your logo or a non-standard size carry a sample fee, which gets fully deducted from your bulk order once you move forward. You’ll only cover the courier cost.
Once artwork is confirmed, sample turnaround is typically 5-7 days. If you need something urgently, let us know upfront — we’ll flag whether your timeline is realistic before committing.
Production runs 10-15 days after order confirmation and deposit, and international shipping typically adds another 10-15 days depending on destination and method chosen.
Usually yes. Send us a photo or a physical sample if you have one, and we’ll match plating color and sheen as closely as possible during the sampling stage.
We formulate our plating processes with REACH restricted substance limits in mind, and can share current compliance documentation upon request during your sourcing evaluation.
Yes — from simple branded poly bags to custom printed boxes for retail display, depending on your order volume and lead time.
This ring style is commonly produced from 15mm up to 40mm+ inner diameter. If your project needs a size outside our standard range, let us know your target dimension and we’ll confirm feasibility.
If you’re sourcing wholesale flat key rings for handbags or need a reliable OEM metal split ring keychain hardware partner for an existing product line, send us your logo file and target dimensions — we’ll come back with a sample timeline and pricing based on your actual specs, not a generic catalog quote.
Whether you need custom logo engraving on stock designs or fully custom molded shapes, our factory handles it all. From initial 3D engineering to zinc alloy die casting, 48-hour salt spray tested electroplating, and strict manual QC, we support complete OEM/ODM hardware development.
