Ellison Die Size Guide
Creativity Comes In All Shapes and Sizes
To enhance your creativity, Ellison offers thousands of different shapes in several sizes to ensure the right fit for your lesson plan, theme or project.
SureCut Dies feature the finest quality steel-rule and genuine birch cutting block. Slightly smaller designs for matting purposes, our retired ClearCrop Dies featured see-through acrylic for ultra-precise cropping.
Encased with sturdy plastic, AllStar and Sizzix Bigz Dies are also made from high-quality wood and steel rule surrounded by foam. AllStar Standard dies feature special alignment marks for an at-a-glance guide to cutting perfection.
Only the Sizzix Big Shot Pro Machine works with all Ellison and Sizzix Dies, as well as many other brands of steel-rule dies. The Ellison RollModel Machine works with all Ellison Dies with the exception of Ellison crease rule dies, as well as most other brands' steel-rule dies. Prestige Machines can cut AllStar and Sizzix Bigz dies with the use of an Adapter Pad. Please note that dies used in the RollModel, Big Shot Pro and AllStar SuperStar machines must be placed rubber side up, unlike the familiar rubber side down positioning in the Prestige Machines and AllStar Machine.
Please refer to the Die Size Guide below for which die to use in which machine.
