Special Keyrings

Proving that Squarah has many tricks up her sleeve, this next one was a special request from the gloriously listy ShareMyPlaylists.com. They were looking for something a bit different for a keyring and thought we might be able to help after producing the WORLD of merch for them.
Oh they were right!!

This here keyring is custom milled from 4.5mm gauge red acrylic to give an embossed finish that wont ever rub off (unless you take a linisher to the poor thing...)and gets better looking with scratches and age.

Here's the prototype on my keys just for size reference:

Totally pleased with the way these came out. For further customisation, the recessed design could be infilled by hand for some extra colour or texture - if anyone wants to let me have a bit play and make them something really unique - get in touch!

DADS are AWESOME

Christ, it's been a while since I posted stuff on here, so I'm going to go for a retrospective over the next few posts...

::GREETINGS FROM THE RAD FACTORY ON THIS ONE OF THE LAST DAYS OF THE YEAR::

Recently Chris from Get Into It Records got in touch regarding having some double pocketed CD sleeves made just for Dads, this brilliant band all the way from New Jersey in America! This here pressing is for a UK only release y'see, you can pikc one up from this here shoppy --> Get Into The Cartel

So this was quite a feat, we've got a 3 colour print with some tight registration. The sleeves were custom cuts from 350gsm recycled (of course) cardstock. Artwork provided by creative shui master Lee Keith Innes. 1st print was the blackground.

2nd layer went down a treat, as the black provided a great primer for the overlay. Check out the tiny detal on the logo. Perfect.

3rd layer, lighter grey than the 2nd, brought out the majority of small lettering and tooth detail. TOUGH.

These nets were hung like bats to dry then hand folded and fixed to form the final wallet. Totally smart and well worth the effort.

DIY isn't about photocopying and poor stapling - its about doing the best you can with what you've got available to you. This is what I get done on a good day :D CD cases are becoming a speciality, get in touch if you fancy doing something similar.
