A keychain is the merch item people actually keep. It ends up in a pocket, on a car key, clipped to a bag, and it carries a logo around for years. This free keychain mockup is a layered PSDT with one rectangular tag on a metal split ring, shot flat from above, so you can see how your artwork sits on a small printed surface before you order a box of them.
It is free to download from Adobe Stock.
What is in the free keychain mockup
A PSDT file at 5000 x 3000 px, RGB, 153.44 MB, made for Photoshop. The scene is a top-down flat lay: a rectangular tag, a short strap with a rivet, and a chrome split ring above it. Your design goes into the smart object on the face of the tag.
5000 px across is more room than a keychain scene usually needs, and that is the useful part. You can crop hard into just the tag for a close-up product shot, or keep the full frame with the ring for a listing image, and both stay sharp. Created by McLittle Stock.
Before you download
The file sits on Adobe Stock, in their free collection. You need an Adobe account to download it, and a free account is enough, no subscription. Better to know that now than to meet a sign-in screen halfway through.
How to use it
Open the PSDT, double-click the smart object, paste your artwork in, save. The lighting and the ring stay where they are.
The trap with keychain artwork is scale. A tag like this is around five centimetres tall in real life, and a logo that reads perfectly on a business card turns into a smudge at that size. Look at the mockup zoomed out to roughly thumbnail size on your screen. If the wordmark is unreadable there, it will be unreadable in a pocket, and the fix is a simplified mark rather than a smaller font.
You will need Photoshop for the smart object. Edit it in Photoshop.
Keyrings, tags and luggage labels
Keychain, keyring, key fob and key tag all describe this shape, so the same file works whichever word your client uses. It also stands in reasonably well for a luggage tag or a bag tag, since the construction is the same: flat rectangle, strap, ring.
What it is not is an acrylic charm. Those are usually cut to a custom outline and often partly transparent, and this tag is a plain rectangle with an opaque face. If you are mocking up a die-cut acrylic charm, this will misrepresent it.
Great for
Conference swag, hotel and rental key tags, car dealership giveaways, gym and club membership fobs, small brand merch drops, Etsy and print-on-demand listings. It also works as a filler frame in a branding deck when you need one more touchpoint next to the card and the sticker.
