Custom bottle openers are perfect for anyone looking for something a little more than the average challenge coin. They’re popular gifts to include at award ceremonies, military balls, employee recognition events, firefighter and law enforcement gatherings and more because they have all the custom appeal of a challenge coin, but also encourage your team to pop the cap off a cold drink with their friends.

Designing Custom Bottle Openers

Here at Signature Coins, we pride ourselves on being the premiere challenge coin maker available online. When it comes to creating custom bottle openers, there’s limitless potential for what can be achieved in a design. Some of our customers prefer a more standard challenge coin bottle opener design while others create elaborate coins with functional bottle opener hooks hidden in plain sight. Before getting started on a set of coin bottle openers, it helps to know what style of coin design you think will work best for your own ideas.

The Many Different Styles of Custom Bottle Openers

The two main styles of custom bottle opener coins are internal and external bottle openers. Just as it sounds, internal bottle opener coins have a cutout on the inside of a coin design while external bottle opener coins have a hook on the outside or edge of a coin. Underneath the umbrella of internal and external bottle opener coins, there are all kinds of styles and custom shapes to work with when considering the best coin design for your ideas.

Internal bottle opener challenge coins are available in round shapes, square, dog tag shapes and any other type of custom shape you can think of. A popular way to accentuate the design of these types of designs is to include a cutout for a chain or string. Customers awarding custom challenge coins at a special event like the option for keychains because they encourage recipients to keep the coins close and use them long after the event is over.

External bottle openers are perfect for creating a coin design with a unique shape. Depending on the shape you choose for your custom challenge coin bottle opener, the functional bottle cap hook in the design can be hidden in plain sight. Obscuring a functional bottle opener in a coin design requires a little more time to get the artwork just right, but the results speak for themselves.

Another option is to create a multi tool challenge coin that includes a bottle opener function. Screwdriver coins, custom bottle opener coins and multi tool coins make for truly special gifts that perfectly marry form and function, causing them to be kept close at hand for years to come.

When choosing between an internal or external bottle opener challenge coin design, there are a few things to consider. Because internal bottle openers make use of our cutouts customization option, an additional setup fee is incurred. Also, some surface area of the coin is lost to the cutout. External bottle openers incur no additional cost compared to a standard challenge coin design because the process to add external openers is pretty much the same as any of our usual cut-to-shape coins.

Bottle Opener Coin FAQs

It depends on which style you choose. Bottle opener coins come as internal or external openers.

External openers put the hook on the outside edge of the coin. Because that is made the same way as any cut to shape coin, there is no added cost compared with a standard design.

Internal openers use a cut out inside the coin face, which adds a setup fee and gives up some of the surface area you have for artwork.

Yes. A coin does not have to be round. Cut to shape coins are die-cut to the outline of whatever you send us: a unit emblem, a badge or shield, a company logo, a state, a helmet, a ticket stub, a rectangle, a square or a hexagon.

Simple geometric shapes like rectangles and squares cost the same as a round coin. Intricate outlines and interior cut outs add a setup fee because the die has to be cut to follow the artwork.

If you are not sure your idea will work as a shape, send it in with a free quote and our art team will show you the outline on the first proof.

Our minimum for custom molded coins is 50 per design. Per-coin pricing improves at every quantity tier above that — compare them on our challenge coin pricing page.

If you need fewer than 50, our no-minimum custom coin builder lets you order as few as one coin, and stock and personalized coins have no minimum either. We can also produce a 5-coin pre-production sample against a larger order, though it isn’t cost-effective on its own.

Through years of experience, we’ve been able to streamline our process and deliver a superior product faster than any other company.

After the custom coin design (Proof) is approved and ordered, the project goes directly into production, and depending on the design, it can take around 2-5 weeks to manufacture the products!

For instance, a non-colored antique design with no upgrade features, could take us only 3 weeks to produce! If you have a special design, the process will take a few days longer.

Check in with us for more information regarding our timelines for your specific design and our Rush options!
