AccuCut is a manufacturer and multi-channel marketer of die cutting and complementary products primarily for the education, craft and stationery markets. We are a family business and have been since our founding in 1990. Our products include our hand-operated die cutting machines — the GrandeMARK 2 Die-Cutting Machine and the MARK IV Roller Die-Cutting Machine — and our extensive line of more than 20,000 shapes and letters. The company's award-winning products are found throughout the world, inspiring teachers, engaging learners and providing profit for craft stores, stationery designers and others who use our machines and dies to make their own products for resale. In many ways, AccuCut is more than a manufacturer and provides an invaluable resource: * In schools, daycare centers, churches and libraries, the machines and dies become an integral part of educating students. Besides saving them valuable time by using our more efficient means to cut out shapes, using hands-on activities helps students become excited about learning and they become active learners. Students become motivated to pay attention in class and comprehension and retention soars. * Craft retailers create AccuCut die cutting centers in their stores, using them to draw customers into their stores, make their own products for resale, and increase sales of other products, including cardstock and embellishments. * Professional stationery designers use AccuCut products to create custom wedding invitations, announcements and other social stationery. Using our products saves them hours of hand cutting and allows them to expand their product lines. * AccuCut's Custom Shape Pros division builds custom steel-rule dies for commercial or personal use in a variety of applications — printing and packaging, consumer goods, paper and fabric crafts, prototypes and more. You can even cut your own products for retail sale.
