Carabiners

Holding keys within reach is the main job of branded carabiners, and each style goes about it a little differently. Plain sturdy metal clips hook onto a belt loop or backpack and hold a split ring, and they come in the broadest colour choice. Aluminium versions keep a silver clip across every colour. Some branded carabiner keyrings add a woven polyester strap in a matching colour, which lets keys hang lower, and a few have a raised rubber or PVC patch on that strap. A triple split ring design separates sets of keys on one clip, a woven polyester tag builds the clip into the fabric around a metal plate, and a retractable reel with a zinc alloy tag lets a card or key extend and wind back.

For a property manager doing back to back inspections, the result is keys that are always on the hip instead of somewhere in the car. Each property's set stays on its own ring, so swapping between houses takes seconds and nothing gets left in a front door. By the end of the day the pockets are empty and every key is accounted for. More options sit across our keyrings range.

Most styles make neat engraved carabiners, with the engraving showing through in silver on the coloured metal ones. A few promotional carabiners can be printed with a full colour digital print instead.

Good to Know

Who uses carabiner keyrings day to day?
Students and office staff use them most, clipping keys to a backpack or belt loop so they're easy to grab. The retractable reel style turns up with people who swipe an access card many times through the work day.

What events do these work well at?
They work well at fun runs and school open days, where people are already carrying bags. A clip goes straight onto a backpack strap on the spot, so it's in use before the event even finishes.

Are branded carabiners a good pick for university and school students?
Yes, students clip keys to a backpack strap so they're easy to grab, and the plain metal clips come in the broadest colour choice to match school or club colours. Aluminium versions keep a silver clip across every colour for a tidier look.

Which style works best in an office?
The retractable reel style works best in an office, because the cord lets someone tap a card on a reader without unclipping it from their belt. Its zinc alloy tag is solid enough to handle being pulled out over and over each day.
