Sizzix
Sizzix is the brand name of a product range of home die-cutting machines and embossing machines manufactured by Ellison.[1] The machines are used for cutting materials such as paper, fabric, vellum, metal and other materials that scissors can cut.[2] The products are most commonly used by crafters, quilters and sewers for scrapbooking, cardmaking, home décor, jewelry making, and other arts and crafts activities.[3]
Sizzix has also seen success in its partnership with about 20 artists who have opened the company up to new markets and categories.[4]
Machines
[edit]The Sizzix product range launched in 2001 as an evolution of the first patented die-cutting machine, the Ellison LetterMachine, created in 1977.[5] Along with the die-cutting machines, the Sizzix product range also includes steel-rule dies, chemically-etched dies, embossing folders and storage folders.[6]
Awards
[edit]The Golden Press Kit Award was awarded to Sizzix at the Craft and Hobby Association (CHA) Summer 2012 trade show.[7] The BIGkick was awarded the 2008 Reader's Choice Winner in the February 2009 issue of Creating Keepsakes magazine in the Die Cut Equipment category.[8]
