Re: [GBW] Dies - where to have made.

[Peter Verheyen <verheyen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've used Owosso several times. Great service, and good prices. I've also
heard Pella recommended. Send them a tiff image and they'll send you a die.
What you want to ask for is type high, deep etched. Zinc is the most common
material.

OWOSSO GRAPHIC ARTS: Photo-engravers and die makers. Online ordering
capability, great customer service. In Michigan.

Pella Engraving Co.: Photo engraving, metal-etching, and die-making. In
Iowa. <http://www.pellaengraving.com/>
