Tape Measure Keyrings

From a cheeky thumbs up hand to a multitool with its own LED, these tape measure keyrings with logo go a long way past a plain round tape. Tough ABS plastic covers most of the line, including the round, house and leveller styles, while the square version has a steel body with a level and snake chain. House-shaped printed tape measure keyrings lock the tape mid-measure and wind it back with a chimney button. The heart works as a key tag too, in red or white. For extra function, the screwdriver tape uses its holder as a handle and a magnet for the heads, and the multitool runs flat and Phillips bits from a magnetic port. Metal tapes sit inside, mostly marked in metric and imperial.

At a Saturday netball carnival, a club volunteer realises the portable goal post needs to sit a set distance back from the line. Instead of hunting for the official tape in the shed, she unclips the keyring, checks the gap and gets the game started on time. Clubs wanting softer giveaways for juniors might also like our keyring stress shapes.

Most branded tape measure keyrings can be printed, and many can also be printed with a full colour digital print, which handles gradients and fine artwork on the small casings.

Worth Knowing

How do I choose between plastic and steel casings?
ABS plastic keeps the keyring light and comes in the most shapes, from houses to hearts. The steel square style feels heavier on the keys and adds a level, though it reads in inches only.

Which keychain tape measure is best for tradies?
The multitool style is the pick, because it adds a bright LED and magnetic flat and Phillips bits to the tape. The screwdriver version is a simpler option with heads held by a magnet and a holder that works as a handle.

Which tape measure keyrings with logo work well for everyday carry on staff keys?
Short tapes in ABS plastic keep the casing small and light, which suits keys carried every day. The house style also locks the tape mid-measure and winds it back with a chimney button, so it stays handy for quick jobs.

What should I look at besides the tape itself?
Check the fitting, since styles come with metal O rings, split rings, snake chains or a clip. Packing also differs, with the steel square style cello bagged individually and most others bulk or loose packed.
