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. I will no longer be selling the metal pins when my current metal runs out about halfway through 2025, however I will continue to sell my plastic register pins and stripping tabs for the rest of 2025. I will also be limiting large orders of individual metal pins in order to reserve pins for the Packages with mixed contents found on the Packages webpage.

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 - International postage is the same for any of the Packages. EU, Australia New Zealand the best choice is either the Package 3 or Package 4. Postage to either AU or NZ is $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.
