  • Engraving Not Required

    Wholesale-Carabiners specializes in customizing bulk quantities with your logo engraving at low wholesale prices. But did you know that engraving is not required? For most organizations our high quality laser engraving is the main reason to buy our personalized dog tags, carabiners, and bottle openers. However, there may be a reason that your needs are different. For instance, if you are just looking for blank stock that you can use for your own business function.

    One example would be if you have equipment that you need to organize with color coding. Our dog tags with rings are a great way to easily mark that equipment. You could use red and green tags to signal which systems are approved or prohibited. Of course you can add an engraving to make your intent more clear, but it is not required to place an order.

    Another example of using our blank stock inventory for your business is if you have your own method of imprinting. We've seen Etsy store owners letter stamp our carabiners for a more personal individual customization. Since we are focused mainly on bulk orders, it is a good opportunity for other small business owners to create single or low quantity customizations for their customers.

    Or perhaps you just need a random assortment of carabiners and you don't care what is on them. We do have over-run stock that we can offer at a discount to those who inquire. It's not listed on our website so you will have to contact us directly. And sometimes a customer will change their logo or product color after production has already begun. There are multiple reasons we can end up with extra stock that can't be re-customized for a new customer. Give us a call to see if we have something to match your needs, we can often offer these at a discount compared to an un-customized item.

    And sometimes you might just need a large amount of carabiners without your brand or website engraved. We can usually offer a discount on these orders as well, and get them out the door faster since they don't require the time for customization.

    Whatever the scenario, Wholesale-Carabiners is here to provide you with carabiners, bottle openers, and dog tags at our always low prices. And the more you order, the more you save with our tiered pricing structure. Get in touch today to see how we can be your primary resource for bulk carabiners and more! Engravings not required!

  • Exploring Carabiner Add-Ons: Straps Edition

    Like the "Secret Menu Hacks" at Chipotle--just because you don't see something on a product page it doesn't mean that it isn't available if you ask. And our secret ingredient that you can add to any order is straps. Any size and any shape of carabiner we carry can be upgraded with one of our strap options. So then, what exactly are the different kinds of straps we carry?

     

    Engraved carabiner with key ring strap

    Standard Strap

    The standard strap is just the essentials. All of our straps are crafted from black woven nylon as the base. With the standard strap you get a loop on one end to attach to the carabiner and a split key ring on the other end to hold your keys. Simple, functional, convenient. The standard strap adds some distance between your keys and carabiner so that they rest better when clipped to a belt or bag.

     

    Engraved carabiner with compass strap

    Compass Strap

    Our compass strap is essentially the standard strap, but with the added benefit of a directional compass. It has the same nylon base with split key ring attachment and includes a rubber loop mounted compass. These look very cool when paired with our camouflage carabiners and are great for outdoor enthusiasts. Not into camo? How about a boat shape carabiner--boats need navigation too.

     

    Engraved carabiner with bottle holder strap

    Bottle Holder Strap

    Again we start with a woven black nylon strap. This time, however, instead of a metal split key ring these have a rubber loop. The loop has a pull tab for easy handling and is designed to securely hold a drink bottle with a standard sized neck (opening size is 1-inch diameter). The length of nylon on the bottle holder straps is slightly shorter and a little wider than the standard strap. Liquids are heavy! (This ingredient is so secret that you won't find it on any of the product pages. You have to ask, don't be shy!)

     

    Engraved carabiner with custom PVC strap

    Custom PVC Strap

    Undoubtedly the most spectacular and elaborate of our straps are the customized PVC straps. It's like the standard nylon strap, but with the addition of a custom molded emblem woven to the strap. Use up to 5 colors to create your logo/artwork on the 1.5" x .625" PVC emblem. The molded emblems can be used for a texted three-dimensional relief of your artwork. They are a real stunner. Add them to any carabiner order, or get them by themselves.

    Now you know about one of our secret-but-not-so-secret carabiner menu hacks. So will you be adding any straps to your next order?

  • All About The Fonts

    Creative fonts for wholesale carabiners

    As the proliferation of digital devices continues its exponential growth, more and more people are becoming aware of the wide variety of typefaces and their use. And it is no longer the case in which people who could readily identify more than one font were limited to sign makers and typesetters.

    Computer word processing programs were the introduction for many people to the wide world of font selection. Depending on your age, if you were asked about the first font that you could name it would probably be Times New Roman--the default selection in Microsoft Word. Now, so many of the applications and programs that are used daily offer dozens of font choices. It's natural, then, that many people in the digital age have become aware of the variety of typefaces available and how they can convey different moods and meanings from each other.

    While it's still mainly graphic designers who care about kerning and leading and so on, it is easy for anyone to see the difference between a delicate script font and a bold sans serif font. The script could connote elegance for a formal affair, and the sans serif might be used in a line of advertising as a clean and simple way to convey information. Half of the fun in designing something with letters is scrolling through the different fonts to find one that is just the right fit for the message.

    Maybe you have found the perfect font for your custom engraving--one that matches your brand or reflects the tone of your event. Let us know about it. We have access to hundreds of fonts that we can use and can often acquire new fonts that would match one you've selected. Be aware that some fonts may not engrave well, especially if they contain fine detail or very thin lines. And if you're not sure--ask! Our artists can help you achieve a design that will result in an attractive final engraving.

  • Exciting Carabiner Trivia

    Carabiner trivia

    We all know and love carabiners for their multi-functional utility and ubiquitous appeal. But what do we really know about carabiners themselves? Let's take a dive into the world of carabiners to discover more information about their origins and how they became the beloved apparatus that they are today.

    While we here at Wholesale-Carabiners.com specialize in supplying bulk quantities of custom engraved carabiners for use as keychains and promotional purposes, they actually have a more diverse history of applications. The name derives from the German term for "spring hook" which is Karabinerhaken. Further supplementing the etymology of "carabiner" is that the karabinerhaken were used during the Napoleonic Wars (1803–1815) by the carbine riflemen, aka "carabiniers" to attach items to their belts; with carabinier, itself, being a French term.

    Now, carabiners are used for everything from climbing, to scuba diving, to hot air-ballooning. While there are different shapes and styles of carabiner, they are all characterized by the swinging spring gate. Perhaps you've seen a similar item where instead of a latch there is a threaded sleeve to open and close the hook. These are actually called maillons.

    They Did The Math

    Carabiners end to end across the globe

    How many carabiners would it take laid end to end to circle the earth? A lot. Here are the figures calculated for our 3 most popular carabiner sizes:

    50mm - It would take approximately 801,500,000 of our smallest carabiner size to go around the earth. That's nearly three times the population of Brazil!

    60mm - Only slightly larger in size, it would take about 667,916,667 of this size carabiner to engulf the circumference of our fair blue planet.

    80mm - This is our largest size of carabiner and it would take a measly 500,937,500 end-to-end to make a trip around the globe. Can you imagine the savings you could achieve by ordering in that quantity? (Please don't order that many, though. It would probably take over half a century of non-stop engraving to fulfill your order)

    Strength Training

    Elephant with a parachute Remember the hit 1995 movie "Operation Dumbo Drop" starring Danny Glover?

    The American National Standards Institution has set a standard for load bearing carabiners to support a static weight of 5,000 lbs in a fall protection system. Do you know what weighs, on average, 5,000 pounds? An adult male Asian Elephant.

    (Note: Our carabiners are for keychains and giveaways. They are not for weight critical applications and to not adhere to the ANSI standards mentioned above.)

  • Engraving Tip: Take Advantage of Sequential Numbering

    Wholesale-Carabiners Offers Sequential Numbering Engraving

    Did you know that in addition to your logo or custom message, we can also engrave sequential numbers on your item? This is useful for people who want to track or serialize things. For instance, if you run an apartment complex you may want to give a unique identifier to each resident's dog to make sure they are a registered pet on the premises. Our bone shaped dog tags are great for this. Or perhaps you work in an industrial environment and want to identify machinery for routine safety maintenance. Check out our medallion tags for this use.

    Choose any starting number, whether you begin with 1 or 8392091748. Although, one caveat is  that the increments must increase evenly by 1 as we cannot randomize numbers or use a specific set of numbers from a list. Use a number only, or add it to existing text or images. Please note that we do charge an additional setup fee and per item fee for sequential numbered engraving. These fees can vary based on your order, so please speak with one of our representatives to receive an accurate quote.

  • Carabiners: Custom Colors And More Sizes

    Custom Pantone color matched carabiners

    We have a great selection and variety of carabiners for all of your needs. From our small 50mm carabiners to our large 80mm patented Logobeener carabiners and everything in between our inventory has you covered. And with our collection of nine vibrant anodized aluminum colors you can achieve a style choice that matches your brand. We even carry fun non-standard carabiner shapes like stars, horses, houses, and more!

    But sometimes that's not enough. Maybe you need an in-between size or a very specific color. While we don't carry those in our regular inventory we can get you the carabiner that you need. And we can provide a carabiner that is Pantone color matched for the ultimate branding solution.

    Because of the custom nature of creating Pantone matched carabiners, we have a minimum order amount in place. By having this piece limit requirement it allows our factories to absorb the cost of matching a custom color. And consequently, it allows you to take advantage of our bulk rates to save even more with your order.

    Add even more value with the addition of split key rings or rugged nylon straps. If you don't see what you need on our website, don't worry! Give us a call and see how we can provide the wholesale carabiners for your next project.

  • Do You Know About Our Round Carabiners?

    A variety of carabiner styles

    Most of the carabiners featured on our website are what we call "flat carabiners." These have a flattened engraving area that provides a level surface for a more consistent and reliable engraving. We want your artwork to look its best which is why we use these as our primary carabiners for your engravings. Plus, since the flattened area is recessed compared to the rest of the carabiner, your engraving will stay better protected from scuffs and scrapes. But did you know that we also offer round and pear shaped carabiners for custom orders?

    In addition to the round and pear carabiners, we can provide custom anodization using Pantone colors to match your brand requirements. Choose from any of our standard sizes for your order, or inquire about alternative sizes that might better fit your needs. Please note: Since these orders are provided on a custom basis they are not eligible for the same three day production as the rest of our carabiners.
