The point of a bottle opener on a lanyard is proximity. Everybody has an opener somewhere; almost nobody has one in their hand when a bottle appears. A lanyard is already round the wearer’s neck, which makes it the one piece of branded merchandise that is guaranteed to be within reach — and that is why these get kept long after the event that handed them out.

Integrated metal, not a moulded plastic tab. A plastic opener bends on the second crown cap and then the whole lanyard goes in a bin; a metal one keeps working, which is the entire difference between merchandise and a keeper item. The standard badge hook is unaffected, so the same lanyard carries an event pass through the day and opens a bottle in the evening.
Anywhere with security screening. A metal opener is a metal object at a checkpoint, so for airside events, government venues and hospitals a hookless metal-free lanyard is the correct specification instead.
Because at a festival or a hospitality event the lanyard is already round the wearer’s neck and the keys are in a bag. An opener is only useful if it is within reach at the moment a bottle appears, and a lanyard is the only piece of branded merchandise that is guaranteed to be.
Polyester gives you a large printable surface, exact Pantone colours and the lowest price. Cork gives a natural, soft-feeling strap and sends a sustainability message alongside the utility — the combination is popular precisely because it is unexpected. Cork prints less brightly, so a logo that depends on colour accuracy belongs on polyester.
Yes, integrated metal rather than a moulded plastic tab. That is what makes it work on a crown cap and what makes it a keeper item; a plastic opener that fails once gets thrown away with the lanyard attached.
Yes — the standard hook is unaffected, so the same lanyard carries an event pass all day and opens a bottle in the evening. That is the actual argument for it at a festival: one object doing both jobs means one object to hand out.
A metal bottle opener may be treated as a metal object at a security checkpoint, so it is not the lanyard to specify for an airside event or a venue with strict screening. For those, choose a hookless or plain printed lanyard instead.
