I kept mixing up my keys
I carry keys for the office door, storage cabinets, and my toolbox. The tiny metal tags I scribbled on wore off, and I don’t have time—or the skills—to learn a full CAD tool just to make clear labels.
How I solved it without learning CAD
I opened an online keychain label generator and simply typed the text I needed for each door and cabinet. I picked a clean font, set the size, and chose embossed text so it’s easy to feel. I added a small QR code that links to a contact URL in case the key ring gets lost. The live 3D STL preview made it easy to adjust spacing, rounded corners, and the hole position for a ring or ziptie.
When everything looked right, I exported a print-ready STL (there’s 3MF too) and printed a small batch. No templates, no guesswork—just a neat, readable nameplate that fits the key ring.
The result that finally stuck
Now each ring has a durable, tactile label with clear text. The QR code is handy, and the consistent shape and chamfered edges make the set look professional. I even made color-separated versions for multicolor printers and cloned the design for toolbox and luggage tags.
If you’re looking for simple, customizable keychain labels—with options like engraved or debossed text, QR codes, and precise sizing—the tools on Shapiful’s site make it straightforward to create and print exactly what you need.
