The Best Key Tags for Label Lovers

If you’ve got a kitchen drawer full of unidentifiable keys, you know why you need key tags. But, key tags offer more than a simple way to defeat random key clutter—they can bring order, efficiency, and even a little decorative beauty to so many things in your life!

People who love labels can use key tags for just about anything. Here are a few ideas:

• Keep track of what’s in your storage baskets and bins with a key tag on the handle.
• Use handy color-coded key tags as a way to quickly identify backpacks, lunch boxes, and luggage.
• Label your flash drives (especially key-shaped USB drives!) and your equipment cases with key tags.
• Take key tags into the kitchen to organize Ingredients and storage containers.
• Try key tags for an attractive, reusable way to label gift boxes and bags.

And don’t forget—they’re a great way to organize your keys!

What to Consider When Choosing a Key Tag

When deciding how you want to use key tags, consider the following:

• Material: The type of material you need depends on how durable you need the tag to be. Temporary uses or uses without a lot of wear and tear don’t require especially tough material.
• Colors: Key tags with various colors are a great option for efficient organization because people can recognize color faster than they can read text. If you primarily need to recognize the text on a label, a white tag is the best option.
• Shape: Rectangle or round? The shape will determine how much text you can put on the tag.
• Attachment: Most key tags come with a split ring. If you need a chain or some other way to attach your tag, you may have to purchase it separately.

These are our recommendations for key tags that are great tools to organize your keys and organize your life.
