We are back into production with Station Craft.
This handle design was already proofed during the original production run, which is the beauty of getting a model fully dialed in. Once the form, fit, and function are validated, future batches become much more straightforward.
Load the file.
Load the colors.
Press start.
From there, the printer gets to work and the production run moves forward.
The standard Station Craft handle has already gone through the important checks: brand layout, color placement, tap fitment, print orientation, hardware mounting, and overall durability. That means this new batch is not starting from zero. It is a fresh production run of an already proven handle.
While those handles are cooking, we are turning attention toward the next layer of brewery support: key account-specific tap handles.
For Station Craft, that means beginning CAD modeling for an Irvine Lanes concept built around “Bowling Blonde Ale” or “Bowlin’ Blonde Ale.” The idea is simple: create a client-specific art piece for one of the brewery’s accounts that just happens to pour beer when pulled.
That is where this type of production workflow starts to get really interesting.
A brewery may need one custom handle for a special account, five handles for a location rollout, or twenty-five handles for a broader placement. The goal is to keep that process flexible. No massive minimum order quantity. No unnecessary production gatekeeping. The real lead time is the CAD modeling, design review, and back-and-forth needed to make sure the handle fits the account, the beer, and the brewery’s brand.
Once the design is approved, it becomes another production-ready file.
Form. Fit. Function.
That is the workflow we are building around: repeatable production for proven designs, and flexible custom modeling for the accounts that deserve something more specific.
