When designing a tap handle you have many choices of materials to work with to give you that custom look you desire. Materials such as ceramic, wood, acrylic, epoxy, metal, resin and polyurethane, and bamboo are just some of the materials that can give your tap handle the uniqueness you need.
Wood can be carved, routed, screenprinted or sandblasted. Acrylic tap handles can be molded into any shape and have items inserted inside. Resin is a most amazing material as it can be molded, shaped and colored to give you amazing reproduction. You need to keep in mind the size and also the weight. If a tap handle is to large it will fall over and not stay upright. If the tap handle is to large it will not fit - that is, there are many taps side by side at the bar so you need to keep size in mind.
