Beer Tap Handle Design Basics
Our artists consider many factors, but you can expect us to hold to certain tap handle design fundamentals:
Make the style clear
Don't make the customer work too hard to read the beer tapper and figure out what kind of beer they're ordering.
Establish a consistent brand
The customer should always be able to look at your custom tap handle and know they're ordering your beer.
Be legible from a distance
Tap handles should stand out like the Statue of Liberty or the Eiffel Tower to get customers' attention.
Use contrasting colors
This isn't the time for subtlety! People can read contrasting colors on custom beer taps more easily than similar ones.
Choose a unique or custom shape
A unique tap handle can become as iconic as the rest of your brand.
