custom washers-die cut
When you think of Washers you typically think of the thing that you put on before a screw right before you’re about to tighten it? We do- but we envision something plastic, or rubber gasketing material. At NEDC we make a different type of washer on a daily basis. What washer are we talking about? We are talking about the conventional type of washer that is two holes, one punched inside the other- but we aren’t referring to a metal washer. We are talking about the type of washer that can be cut from sponge rubber, or even a type of plastic. These types of washers are in the same shape of a typical washer but can serve a variety of purposes. NEDC regularly die cuts, waterjet cuts, and laser cuts washers out of rubber and other materials.
