Size is an important element to consider as you begin the design phase of your custom tap handles. A tap handle too tall or too wide could turn a bar tender’s occupational nuisance into a campaign against your product. With that said, remember our goal is to help you nail down a handy design that engages consumers on the front line of the sale. Let’s talk guidelines:
- Standard tap handles typically measure between 9-13” tall and no more than 3” wide and/or deep.
- Short tap handles, also known as shotgun tap handles, range between 4-6” tall and no more than 3” wide.
- Always keep the width at 3” or under.
- A ferrule can be internal or external. An external ferrule adds roughly an inch to the tap handle height.
- Sizing & material affect weight. Go 16 oz. and under and don’t let a great design go too heavy/top heavy!
- Decide on the main focus of the design and how it will affect the sizing.
