Ternes Burton™ is known worldwide for making quality register pins and stripping tabs. My stainless steel register pins are made one at a time and are hand stenciled, hand welded, and hand polished- with attention paid to both quality and detail. I sell to printmakers, artists, art schools, universities, as well as commercial printing companies and silk screening companies. Ternes Burton is the original company making register pins and is known for making the best available. Common uses for my register pins and stripping tabs are for relief printing using linoleum and wood block as well as screen printing.

Relief printers working in linoleum and wood carve away parts of their material, ink the remaining surface and print a color, then carve away more material, print another color onto the same piece of paper, and so on. Complicated prints can have more than two dozen colors and steps. Registration is critical. If you don’t have each color exactly in register to the previous ones you cannot go back. Your material is already carved away. If your work is out of register your time and materials are wasted. Each time a color is added your paper must be in exactly the same place to your base material. My register pins and stripping tabs are made to help you with this.

Plastic pins are less than 1/4 the cost of metal pins and available in the two most common diameters requested of 1/4" and 9/32" which fit 99% of the commonly requested sizes.

SHIPPING INFORMATION - EU, Australia New Zealand the best choice is either the Package 3 or Package 4. International postage is the same for any of the Packages and is currently $21.55 to AU or AZ and $17 to Canada, so make the smart choice and go with either the Package 3 or 4, NOT the Package 1 or 2. You’ll have extra pins and tabs for a few dollars more and pay the same postage. Australia and New Zealand customers do not order more than 500 tabs as the postage rate will be almost double. Canada- due to your postal strike I have temporarily removed your country as a shipping option.
