Find it. Love it. Keep it. Key covers and small ID tags are the quiet organisers of a busy brand — the silicone cap on a venue master key, the colour-coded tag on a fleet fob, the soft-touch sleeve that keeps reception's spare set from looking like everyone else's. Sense2 has been briefing these small-format identifiers for Australian agencies, venues and corporate teams for 30 years, with thousands of 5-star Google reviews and the creative thinking that turns a 3cm piece of silicone into a colour story your whole team recognises at a glance.

Best for
Choose key covers & small id if your moment is fleet and vehicle key identification, venue, hotel and venue-operations teams or schools, universities and childcare.
Fleet and vehicle key identification
Colour-coded silicone key covers in six brand-aligned shades let a depot manager spot the right fob at a glance. Pair with a small metal ID tag for vehicle number and branch.
Venue, hotel and venue-operations teams
Soft-touch silicone caps on master keys protect the cut, quiet the jingle and carry the property's secondary colour — the kind of detail guests notice without registering why.
Schools, universities and childcare
Laser-etched aluminium ID tags on staff lanyards survive years of use. Debossed house colours on key covers make the staffroom board legible for relief staff from day one.
Corporate office and facilities rollouts
Printed PVC luggage-style tags on meeting-room keys, equipment cases and AV kits. Numbered, branded, and returned to reception because people remember where they came from.
Member clubs, gyms and co-working
A small branded tag on a locker key or fob is a daily touchpoint. Full-colour digital UV holds fine typography on a 30mm disc — club crest, member number, one line of copy.
“We briefed a colour system across our vehicle fleet and the silicone covers arrived beautifully colour-matched to our secondary palette. Depot managers spotted the right fobs within a day. The Sense2 team understood the operational problem immediately.”
“The debossed silicone caps on our master keys look considered rather than corporate — which was exactly the tone we wanted for the property. Delivery arrived a few days ahead of opening and the finish was elegant at every touchpoint.”
“Customers consistently rate Sense2 for bringing creative thinking to even the smallest formats — and delivery that always lands on time, beautifully packed.”

How to choose
Start with the key itself — that's the part we enjoy most about a small-format brief. If it's a standard domestic or office cut, a silicone key cap fits universally and gives you a 20-25mm branded surface for a pad print or debossed mould. If it's a car fob, a fitted silicone sleeve is the right answer; ask for the make and model and we'll match the mould. If the piece needs to carry a number, a name or a barcode, a separate ID tag on a split ring reads more cleanly than trying to print both onto the cover itself. Branding method drives finish more than people expect. Pad print in one or two colours is the cheapest way to carry a bold wordmark and holds up well on silicone. A custom mould with a debossed logo is the premium move — tone-on-tone, no ink, never wears off — and it becomes viable from around 500 units. On metal ID tags, laser etch reads as considered and lasts the life of the piece; full-colour digital UV is the choice when the brief includes a gradient, a photograph or a fine multi-colour crest. Colour is where these small pieces earn their keep. A six-colour system across a fleet, a two-tone palette across a campus, a single brand red on every master key — that's how a 3cm object becomes a wayfinding system. We'll colour-match to your Pantones on silicone from 500 units; below that, choose from our stocked range of 20+ shades. On MOQ: silicone key covers start at 100-250, PVC tags at 50-100, metal ID tags at 100. Custom-mould silicone starts at 500. For large fleet or campus rollouts (2,000+), expect 25-35% off the 250-qty tier. Always order a sample — 48 hours to your desk — because colour on a screen never matches colour in the hand.
Pricing guidance
Pricing rule of thumb: at 250 units with a 1-colour pad print, a stocked silicone key cover sits around AU$1.20-$2.40, a printed PVC tag AU$1.80-$3.20, a laser-etched aluminium ID tag AU$2.80-$4.50, and a custom-mould debossed silicone cap AU$3.20-$5.80. At 1,000 units expect 25-35% off those tiers. Pad print setup is AU$40-$65 per colour once-off; custom silicone moulds carry a one-time tooling fee from AU$320. Full-colour digital UV adds AU$0.40-$0.80 per unit with no per-colour setup.

Frequently asked questions
What's the minimum order for custom key covers and small ID tags?▾
Stocked silicone key covers start at 100-250 units with a pad-printed logo. Printed PVC tags start at 50-100. Laser-etched aluminium ID tags start at 100. Custom-mould silicone with a debossed logo becomes viable from 500 units and carries a one-time tooling fee from AU$320. For fleet or campus rollouts of 2,000+ we'll quote a stepped price across 250, 500, 1,000 and 2,000.
How long do key covers and ID tags take to produce and deliver in Australia?▾
Standard lead time is 10-15 business days from artwork approval for stocked silicone, PVC and metal ID tags. 5-7 day express is available on stocked colourways for late briefs. Custom-mould silicone adds 2-3 weeks for tooling on the first run, then reorders track standard lead time. We dispatch daily from Sydney to all capitals and regional centres.
What branding methods work best on a 25mm silicone key cover?▾
Pad print in one or two colours is the most common and most affordable — it holds a bold wordmark cleanly. Debossed custom moulds are the premium option: tone-on-tone, ink-free, and it never wears off. On metal ID tags, laser etch reads as considered and lasts the life of the piece. Full-colour digital UV is the choice when the brief includes a gradient or fine multi-colour detail.
Can you colour-match silicone key covers to our brand Pantone?▾
Yes. Our in-house design studio colour-matches silicone to your Pantone references from 500 units, with a pre-production sample before full run so your creative team can hold the shade in the hand. Below 500 we'll route you to our stocked range of 20+ silicone colourways and find the closest brand-aligned match.
Do you offer recycled or lower-impact material options?▾
Yes. Food-grade silicone is durable and long-lived by design, which is its own sustainability story. For harder components we offer recycled ABS key tags and anodised aluminium ID tags that last the life of the key. On larger rollouts we can consolidate packaging into recycled kraft inserts rather than individual polybags.
Can I see a sample before committing to a fleet or campus rollout?▾
Yes — free samples ship Australia-wide, dispatched within 48 hours from Sydney. For custom-mould briefs we supply a pre-production sample with your actual artwork and colour before the full run. After 30 years of small-format briefs, we know the weight, feel and colour in the hand are what the decision actually rests on — never the spec sheet alone.
