From Logo or Idea to Finished Custom Bottle Openers
Custom bottle opener production needs clear control of artwork, material, finish, printing, function, inspection and packing. Our process keeps every stage clear before bulk production begins.
1. Project Review & Artwork Planning
Send us your logo, emblem, reference image, quantity, intended use, deadline and shipping country. Our in-house team reviews your requirements, prepares production-ready artwork within 24 hours, and recommends suitable materials, finishes, coloring methods, backing and production processes for your badge.
2. Quotation & Specification Confirmation
We quote based on badge size, quantity, material, mold complexity, plating, enamel, printing, backing, packaging and shipping destination. Before production, confirm final artwork, badge size, quantity, material, finish, color process, printing method, backing type, packaging method, shipping country and target delivery date.
3.Proof or Sample Approval
Depending on the project, you can confirm artwork proof, digital mockup, sample photos, sample video or physical sample before bulk production. For event or campaign deadlines, photo or video sample approval is often more efficient; physical samples are available when strict physical approval is required, but shipping adds extra time.
4. Bulk Production
After approval, production starts through mold making, die casting or stamping, deburring, polishing, plating, coloring, printing, backing assembly and packing.
5. Badge Quality Control
Finished badges are checked before shipment for badge shape, logo clarity, text readability, plating finish, color filling, printing position, surface scratches, backing position, backing strength, magnet function when applicable, packaging method, quantity and design version sorting.
6. Packing and Shipment
Badges are packed according to approved requirements. If your order includes different roles, departments, colors or designs, confirm sorting instructions before packing
