These are my go-to every time I start a new project.

Generators are GREAT because you don’t need Photoshop to make mockups.
1. Small keychain mockup
If you need a quick solution, then I highly suggest you pick this mockup generator. It’s simple but with just the right configurations to create your own version.
I spent just a few seconds customizing it to create the final version that my client loved. And you can now make it happen, too – in A FEW clicks!
Note: I didn’t change the keychain color because my design covered the entire working area, but you can.

Here’s a similar solution to the above just with an even more realistic feel.
I edited the color in this instance, imported a logo and even had some fun with the “add text” function.
The backdrop isn’t adjustable; however, it easily fits any color and design ideas you have, making the presentation pop nicely.
Try it, and you’ll see the MAGIC happen.

3. Mockups of 4 keychains
This is undoubtedly my FAV set of keychain mockups because of the four different variations. So. Awesome!
You get heart, rhombus, square and round keychains to play with. I used all four and loved the outcome.
Plus, everything is editable (even the chain and ring!) and each template comes at an insane 9000 x 6000px dimension. You read that right!
Also, the excellent layered structure works as an intuitive how-to, ensuring even newbies get the most out of it. EASILY.
The ultimate quality awaits.

Even though I wasn’t aware of the “Remove Before Flight” tags until recently, I still have a dedicated mockup here for you.
But I’m adding it because you don’t need to follow its default aim. Do you’re thing and create a variation that’s to YOUR liking (that has nothing to do with aircraft).
And that’s precisely what I did!
Note: I especially enjoyed using the multi-keychain templates.
Price: $16

I needed to create a custom key tag once for a hotel (rooms) and once for a fitness (lockers). This was by far the best option after finding and testing MULTIPLE solutions.

The mockup with three keys and tags is especially useful for presenting three design variations in one spot.

MORE INFO / DOWNLOADHow To Easily Create A Keychain Mockup
Are you ready to create your first realistic keychain presentation? It’s way easier than you think!
And for this reason, I’ll show you how to make it happen with this effortless five-step process.
By the way, we’ll use an online mockup generator because it’s fun, doesn’t require software, and never asks for skills.
5 Steps to create a keychain mockup:
- Step 1: Head over to Placeit where you pick your favorite template. There aren’t many, so you’ll find your fav fast.
- Step 2: The next step is to open the template and click on the “insert image” button. I always add my design first because it allows me to test the waters first-hand and not waste my time. I recommend you do the same. (Remember, you can also zoom in/out your design and reposition it.)
- Step 3: Once you’re satisfied with how your design appears on the mockup, play with the shades. You can choose colors via the handy color picker and personalize the outcome.
- Step 4: Moreover, you can also add text and a graphic if you’d like to spice things up. (Tip: Don’t overdo it.)
- Step 5: You’re now ready to download your amazing keychain presentation and use it anywhere you want.
This was extremely fast, right?
But the method is also rapid and straightforward when you work with a PSD mockup – but you need Photoshop.
After you import the template to PS, search for the smart object layer first and drag-n-drop your design. This is most of the work considered done!
However, you can also enjoy playing with other features, like changing colors, background, altering shadows, etc.
Do. You.
