My interest would be more, if they're customizeable through sublimation.

Hi David,
I was surprised to find out that this company is just behind my shop they are just a wall away :)
I just pick some samples to try and yes they are sublimatable but this is a one man company and very limited in products, looks like he's just testing the waters.
Ruben.

Ruben,
Nothing wrong with testing the water, as long as he's there if the flood gate opens. :-)

My only concern would be the life span of the image and color with it going in and out of the lock.
Could be lots of wear on the key itself and how does the coating affect the fit of the key?

Steve,
the key fits OK in the lock, about the life span of the image is unknown he show me one key that he carries on hes key chain with maybe 6/7 other keys in it, he says that he has the key there for over 9 months and yes it was scratch in the edges but not on the main image.
Note, I did press one and I find out the coating is a soft one since the paper stick to it, to clean it up I just soaked in water and rub it with a towel and the paper came out easy.

Hello Ruben,
I'd be interested to find out who he originally got the sublimated coated keys from. Using our sublimation coatings, we coated extremely large volumes of these keys (over two years ago) for a company who went out of business. I'm wondering if he bought their old stock of keys we coated for sublimation.
We are also looking about coating these products again toward the end of this year.
