TROLLEY TOKEN KEYRINGS

Usually 5–6 weeks from artwork approval.

Very large orders may take longer, and we’ll confirm when we quote.

NOTE: A complex design or bigger keyring can also add to the timescales.

Everything, that’s why they’re called Personalised Keyrings! You can modify:

– Shape (Round or 12 sided)
– Enamel colours
– Metal colour (Plating)
– Fitting
– Packaging

We offer a full, custom trolley token keyring service!

Trolley token keyrings (also called trolley coins, shopping trolley tokens, supermarket trolley fobs, or trolley coins on keyrings) are small, practical keyring attachments designed to unlock supermarket shopping trolleys without needing a real £1 coin.

In the UK, most major supermarkets (including Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Asda, Morrisons, Aldi, Lidl, Waitrose, and many others) use a coin-operated locking system: you insert a £1 coin into the trolley handle to release it. When you return the trolley and lock it back into the chain at the trolley bay, your £1 coin is refunded.

A trolley token keyring replaces the need to carry a £1 coin by mimicking its size and shape (usually as a metal disc, plastic fob, or custom token roughly the diameter of a £1 coin). You keep it permanently attached to your keys, bag, or purse for instant access.

How they typically work in the UK:

– Insert the token into the trolley’s coin slot.
– Turn or slide it sideways (or press a lever/button on some designs) to release the chain/lock.
– Use the trolley as normal.
– When finished, return the trolley to the bay, lock it up, and remove your token (it doesn’t stay in the slot like a real coin—most are designed to be removable immediately after unlocking).

Common features:

– Made from metal (stainless steel, zinc alloy), plastic, or even 3D-printed materials.
– Often lightweight, durable, and compact.
– Many are customisable (e.g., with logos for promotional giveaways, glitter, glow-in-the-dark, or fun shapes like mini supermarket trolleys).
– Reusable indefinitely—no more hunting for change or risking being caught without a £1 coin at the trolley park.

They’re a hugely popular everyday essential in the UK, especially for regular shoppers, parents, dog walkers, or anyone who hates fumbling for exact change at the supermarket entrance. If you shop at UK supermarkets with £1-lock trolleys, a trolley token keyring is a simple, clever life-saver!

Yes. You can add Pantone-matched enamel colours and choose your metal plating, fitting and packaging.

It’s genuinely useful, so people keep it on their keys and use it again and again. That means your brand gets seen long after the event.
