Bottle openers

Bottle openers are a popular choice when it comes to small POS material. Through their design they can highlight a brand’s specific style whilst at the same time serve as a practical item. We design and produce bottle openers cast from massive metal.

You can choose amongst different finishes, e.g. antique, glossy or matt, and by doing so match your brand’s visual identity. An additional option we offer is to integrate a magnet into the back of the product. The bottle opener function can either be part of a keychain, a ring or a stand alone product.

Promotional bottle openers are relatively inexpensive to produce, making them a cost-effective marketing solution. You can order them in bulk, making them suitable for large-scale promotions. The heightened visibility and attractiveness of a bottle opener may encourage consumers to make unplanned buying decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions.

Can you help me with concept development?
Yes. We have an in-house product design team that shares an office with our engineering team. In PES no two projects are ever the same. Since 1992 we have gained a lot of experience regarding how to create custom Point of Sale material and branded merchandise. When developing concepts for a bottle opener we rely on your brief which ideally includes a brand manual and a project description.
What materials do you use for making bottle openers?
We solely use certified, high quality raw material sourced from European suppliers. All of these comply with EU regulations, e.g. ROHS or REACH. We primarily shape different types of metal, wood and plastic. All in-house. 

We are able to create custom 3D shapes and surfaces. Via manufacturing technologies such as e.g. casting, forging, injection moulding, electroplating, lacquering and sandblasting. We operate our own tooling unit which enables us to have maximum control over lead times and quality management.
Where are your bottle openers being made?
In-house, in our own workshop here in Zagreb, Croatia (EU). We are a 35-person, family-led, quality and sustainability certified manufacturer. This refers to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, plus a 4 pillar audit by EcoVadis.
What does your process look like?
If you're part of a Marketing Procurement, Brand or Marketing team that manages a global brand, you're already familiar with the phases of bringing a custom bottle opener to life: briefing, concept development, product design, engineering, rendering, prototyping, tooling, sampling, product testing, bulk production, delivery. 

By following our proven process we help you avoid the many pitfalls of sourcing custom bottle openers. The pitfalls that make you either loose money or time. Or even worse, both. If you already have a design and just need us to bring the idea to life, that's fine, too. We can start the process during the phase that suits you best.
What is your lead time for bottle openers?
Since no two projects are ever the same, the answer is: it depends. 

On:
- the number of units you need
- product specs
- how quickly you and/or your client are able to approve a prototype and/or PP sample
- on how many projects we are having in our pipeline at the time you place your order
From concept development to final delivery, you should plan with at least two months. 

Based on your enquiry, we'll send you a detailed quote which specifies the time we'll need for each single project phase. This way you'll know what to expect. It always helps if, as part of your enquiry, you let us know what your desired timeline looks like.
What does testing imply?
We can provide you with material safety data sheets (MSDS) about the raw materials we use. These all comply with EU regulations. The raw material we use are sourced from certified suppliers located in Europe. Additionally, we can issue a Certificate of Conformity (COC) and a Certificate of Origin (COO), stating that your awards have been made in Croatia.

Beyond this, on behalf of our clients, we regularly manage 3rd party testing. In collaboration with internationally accredited laboratories. These result in certificates stating that your bottle openers conform to regulations and are therefore safe to use. This is paticularly important if you plan on distributing your awards to different markets. There exist countries that are much stricter when it comes to certification than others.

How can I contact you?
Best visit our contact page where you'll find all the details on how to get in touch with us. Feel free to drop us a message in English, German, Spanish or Croatian.
What is your Minimum Order Quantity?
Since we're making bottle openers ourselves, in our own workshop, located in Zagreb, Croatia, we are free to determine the Minimum Order Quantity. We've decided to not have any, which means 1 unit. Although, to be honest, so far it has never happened that a client asked us to only make one single unit. It sometimes does happen for other product categories, e.g. awards. 

For bottle openers, we usually make a larger number of units. This has to do with the fact that we primarily work for global brands who seek to source larger volumes. Additionally, the more complex a bottle opener design is, the higher the probability there is a larger tool investment needed. Hence nobody places an order for a low number of units. It just wouldn't be cost-effective. 

Regarding purchase orders for bottle openers, the majority of our projects fall into the category of 1.000 to 10.000 units.
How do you handle packaging and delivery?
Most often each bottle opener we make is single unit packaged into custom cardboard boxes or textile pouches.

We ship our bottle openers either to a client's warehouse or directly from our workshop, located in Zagreb, Croatia, to different markets. All over the world. Most often to Europe, Northamerica and Asia. 

The Incoterms can be any between EXW and DAP.

How do I place an order with you?
Before you place an order, you will have received a detailed quote from us, which in turn is based on your initial project brief. The quote will include input such as a description of the product, pricing, lead times et al.
What are your prices?
At PES, since we only make custom bottle openers, no two projects are ever the same. 

We will be able to determine the price after we've received your initial input and made a cost calculation. Does your project start with concept development or do you already have a design ready? What are the materials your bottle opener will be made of? How complex is it to manufacture your product? What does the timeline look like? 

Once we have received a full brief from you, we will send you a detailed quote with clear pricing input. Outlining each single phase, e.g. concept development, technical development and prototyping, tooling and PP sampling, 3rd party laboratory testing, bulk production and delivery.
