The mission of Design Converting, Inc. is clear cut: to be the choice supplier for plastic die cutting, foam die-cutting, rubber die cutting, fabrication and secondary services to its valued customers. Offering further processes such as laminating, screen-printing and stamping, DCI has grown both in service capability and in customers since our formation in 1996. With a commitment to continual improvement and high standards, DCI holds an ISO 9001:2008 certification for its quality management system. As evidence of this commitment, our team at DCI works closely with our customers, from initial product consulting to engineering and design to final production, ensuring the finished product meets the specific characteristics and tolerances often required in die cut parts and components.

Working with industries as varied as automotive, medical, consumer and OEMs, Design Converting has practical experience meeting a broad range of die cutting needs in plastics, foam, and rubber. Manufacturing options include different types of adhesives or the option for no adhesive, as well as the willingness to work with less common materials. DCI aims to offer a cost effective option to its customers and strives to find the best solution on a job-specific basis rather than offering standard solutions, even if that means sourcing an unusual material for a custom need. Samples, prototypes and short production runs are also available to our customers as required.

While providing creative solutions and unparalleled quality in terms of products and services, we hope to be a part of encouraging the trend of local manufacturing. DCI sees the opportunity for American manufacturers and small businesses to play a vital role in industry as the economy slowly picks up and business conditions begin to improve.
