Two panels, front and back, 4.65" x 4" each. Cut and bleed lines marked.
A 16 oz tall boy can tap handle is a cast resin can, the same size as the pint can in your cooler, with your can art printed on two vinyl panels and applied in our shop. Steel City Tap Co. sells it from 12 handles at $29.95 each down to $23.60 each at 1,000, with a 2 to 4 week lead time from art approval. It is the fastest way to put the exact package on the tap wall without tooling a custom handle.
The handle on the rail is the only ad in the bar that the customer has to look at before they order. When it looks like the can they already know, you win the pour.

Why Breweries Pick the Can Handle
Resin takes a hit. It shrugs off drops and bar knocks, the UV clear coat keeps the finish from fading under bar lights, and it wipes clean. The silver metallic base reads as aluminum from across the room, and because the shape is already the can, your label does the rest. It is the right handle when you are seeding a new market, filling a distributor's request, or putting a seasonal on tap without a custom mold.

What size is the 16 oz can tap handle?

Is the label a full wrap?
No. It is two flat panels, a front and a back, each 4.65 by 4 inches, printed on low tack white gloss vinyl and contour cut. Two panels mean no seam to line up and most can label art drops straight in.
Does it fit my tap?
Yes. The aluminum ferrule has a standard 3/8-16 thread, which fits every standard US beer faucet. Screw it on by hand.
Do I need vector artwork to order?
No. Upload what you have, even a phone photo of your can. We build the proof and ask for a cleaner file only if production needs it. The free template on this page is for designers who want to lay it out themselves.
Can I apply my own labels instead?
Yes. Order the blank 16 oz can tap handle at $20.00 each with no minimum and apply your own vinyl. The 4.65 by 4 inch panel size on this page is the one to match.
Where is it made?
The stock can handles are cast, finished, printed, and labeled in our shop in Birmingham, Alabama. 100% made in the USA.
