We bring your design to life. That’s our promise. At our factory in Birmingham, Alabama, your tap handle, LED sign, or Tin Tacker is transformed from a budding idea into a tangible marketing tool. Our expert in-house team makes each tap handle, putting hands on the product from start to finish for superior craftsmanship. In as little as 6–8 weeks, your taps will be ready to represent your brand in the best possible way.
We put our heart and soul into designing and crafting one-of-a-kind tap handles, ensuring you stand out from the competition. And we don’t stop there. From custom, high-quality tin signs and LED signs to branded hats and point of purchase, we offer everything you need to round out your comprehensive marketing game.
Our process begins with a sketch to establish direction.
Next we send over a digital proof so you can sign off on your design.
After approval we make a one off prototype to guarantee quality.
Once the prototype is approved we begin production.
