CUSTOM RACE MEDALS
Custom Bottle Opener Medals
A working opener cast into the back — the finisher medal that earns its keep.
A bottle opener medal hides a working opener in the casting — a slot in the design or a shaped edge on the back — so the finisher hardware gets used every weekend for years. For beer runs, brewery series, and Oktoberfest events, it is less a medal than a membership card.
The opener adds only $0.40 per medal because it is mostly geometry, not a part: we shape the slot into the die itself. Same metal, same finishes, one more reason the medal never lands in a drawer.
- Mechanism
- Opener slot cast into the die — no added parts
- Strength
- Zinc alloy body, tested on actual bottle caps
- Placement
- Hidden in the back or featured in the face design
- Adds to price
- Usually nothing — it is part of the mold
VOLUME PRICING
Bottle Opener Medals pricing
Per-unit pricing for our standard spec. Proofs and two edit rounds are included at every tier.
| Quantity | Price per unit |
|---|---|
| 100–249 | $2.90 |
| 250–499 | $2.55 |
| 500–999 | $2.25 |
| 1,000+ | $1.95 |
Options beyond the standard spec are itemized in your quote — and we beat any written competitor quote by up to 10%. See the full race medal pricing guide.
Pricing is by size, not by sport: a 3-inch medal runs about $2.50 each at 100 units for any race — larger sizes slightly more, smaller sizes less, and same-size medals start at the same price. Design and proofs are quoted with your order. New designs carry a one-time mold fee (generally around $100, depending on size); reorders of the same design never pay it again. Specialty builds — spinners, moving parts, oversized cutouts — can add to the per-medal cost.
DESIGN IDEAS
How races use bottle opener medals
Featured slot designs
The opener as the design — a keg, growler, or grain-stalk silhouette whose negative space does the work.
Brewery co-brands
Your race on the face, the partner brewery on the opener side. Breweries often sponsor the whole order.
Keychain conversions
A smaller opener medal on a keyring instead of a ribbon — the volunteer and spectator gift that gets daily use.
Bottle Opener Medals questions
Do bottle opener medals cost more?
Only a little — the opener back adds $0.40 per medal over a standard build, so a 3-inch opener medal runs $2.90 at 100 units and $1.95 at 1,000+, plus the standard one-time mold fee ($100).
Will the opener actually open bottles?
Yes — die-cast zinc alloy at our thickness takes caps without bending. We test the slot geometry on real bottles at the sample stage before your run casts.
Can the opener be combined with other features?
Opener plus glow enamel and opener plus spinner are both common combos. The opener lives in the mold, so it stacks with any finish or mechanism.
