Ellison Die Cuts
Ellison Die Cuts and Prestige Machines
The Ellison Prestige is a hand-operated die-cutting machine. Die-cutting is like
using a cookie cutter to create a variety of shapes, numbers, and letters. This machine
uses steel rule die shapes to cut through a wide range of materials quickly and easily.
The use of scissors to cut shapes takes time and patience. However, die-cutting
transforms the tedious task of cutting letters and shapes into a fast, fun, and easy
endeavor -- replicating the same shape over and over.
