How a tin tacker is built
Embossed aluminum that stays on the wall.
A tin tacker is the sign a brand leaves behind: on the tap room wall, behind the bar, on a distributor rack, in a bottle shop window. Ours are embossed aluminum printed in full color, so the border and the lettering are raised off the surface and the art can run full bleed.
Every sign is made in the USA from recycled aluminum and built for indoor and outdoor use. On stock shapes, setup is included, so the price per piece on the product page is the price you pay per sign. Custom shapes carry a one-time setup fee.

Arrow signs ›How ordering works
Four steps from logo to wall.
01
Pick the shape and quantity
Every shape has its own page with the sizes and a price per piece at each quantity. Most start at 100 pieces.
02
Send your art
Upload it on the product page. A phone photo of your logo is enough to start. Laying it out yourself? Each product has a template with the dieline, bleed, embossed border, and mounting holes marked.
03
Approve the proof
We send a proof in 2 to 3 business days. Nothing runs until you sign off on it.
04
We run it and ship
Production runs about 6 weeks after approval. Shipping is calculated at checkout, and the final invoice reconciles the count that ships.
Artwork
Art that prints right the first time.
You do not need a finished file to get started. If you do have a designer, these six points keep the proof from bouncing back.
- Vector files (AI, EPS, or PDF with fonts outlined) are best. A TIF, PDF, or JPEG at 300 dpi or higher also works.
- Build the file in CMYK. Pantone colors are matched as closely as four-color process allows.
- For a deep black, use C40 M40 Y40 K100.
- Run backgrounds out to the bleed line and keep live text inside the dieline.
- Want raised art? Send a black and white version showing what should be embossed.
- No designer? Send the logo. We build the layout and proof it for you.

What is a tin tacker?
A tin tacker is a metal bar sign, usually embossed aluminum printed in full color, that breweries and beverage brands hang in tap rooms, bars, distributor racks, and retail.
What is the minimum order for tin tackers?
Most shapes start at 100 pieces, and a few start at 50 or 125. Every product page lists its quantity breaks with the price per piece at each one.
How much do custom tin tackers cost?
It depends on the shape, the size, and the quantity. Stock shapes are priced per piece on every product page, and the price drops as the quantity goes up. Setup is included on stock shapes. Custom shapes cut to your outline are quoted per job and carry a one-time setup fee.
Is there a setup fee?
Not on stock shapes. Setup is built into the price per piece, and no plate or setup fee is added at checkout. Custom shapes cut to your outline carry a one-time setup fee, quoted with the job.
How long do tin tackers take?
You get a proof in 2 to 3 business days. Production on embossed tin tackers runs about 6 weeks after you approve the proof. Can signs run 5 to 7 weeks from art approval.
What are tin tackers made of?
Standard tin tackers are .024 recycled aluminum, embossed and printed in four-color process. Flat .040 aluminum and corrugated aluminum signs are also available. Each product page lists the exact size, print area, and material.
Where are your tin tackers made?
Our tin tackers are made in the USA. Every one is embossed and printed here from recycled aluminum.
Can tin tackers hang outside?
Yes. They are built for indoor and outdoor use.
What artwork do I need?
For custom shapes, the art needs to be .ai, .eps, or a vectorized PDF, because the cut line follows the vector outline. For stock shapes, send what you have. A vector file or high resolution logo is best for production, but a phone photo is enough to get a proof started. Every product page has an art template if you want to lay it out yourself.
How do I order?
Pick the shape and the quantity, upload your art, and we handle the proof. Nothing prints until you approve it.
Will I get exactly the quantity I order?
Every order runs with a 10% overage or underage, which is standard for custom printed goods. Overages are billed at the end of the project at your per-piece price, along with any shipping cost adjustments.
Can I run more than one design?
Standard pricing covers one design per order. For more than one design, or more than 1,000 pieces, request a quote and we will price it.
Can you make a shape that is not listed?
Yes. Send the art for a custom shape sign and we quote it. Custom shapes carry a one-time setup fee, which is part of the quote.
Need a shape that is not here?
Send the art. We will quote the sign.
This Mississippi Alehouse sign follows the outline of their logo. It is cut to shape and embossed like every other tin tacker we run.
