Die Plates
At Gunri, we consider die plates, also known as shoes or sets, as the foundation of excellence in metal stamping. Our meticulously crafted die plates form the robust underpinning on which all other die components are mounted. We understand that precise alignment and structural integrity are non-negotiable, as even the slightest misalignment can compromise the quality of your metal forming. With Gunri’s die plates, you can be assured of unwavering support and stability.
Die Guide Pins and Bushings


Precision is the hallmark of Gunri, and our die guide pins and bushings play a crucial role in achieving it. These components ensure the precise alignment of the upper and lower plates of the die, guaranteeing smooth and repeatable die movements during the stamping process. Our dedication to precision minimizes errors and defects in your final product, setting a new standard for quality.
Die Punches

Die punches are the versatile workhorses of metalworking, and at Gunri, we offer an extensive range of shapes and sizes to cater to your specific needs. Our die punches are engineered with precision to ensure that your desired shapes and features are replicated accurately on metal sheets. With Gunri’s die punches, you have the power to shape possibilities.
Die Buttons

Complementing our die punches are Gunri’s die buttons. Available in diverse styles, these components are strategically positioned to provide crucial support during the stamping process. They act as indispensable backup systems for die punches, preventing metal deformation and ensuring uniform results. With Gunri’s die buttons, your success is backed by reliability.
Die Springs

Die springs, the helical compression springs that secure metal sheets during transformation, are integral to the metal stamping process. Gunri’s die springs provide the necessary force to keep metal sheets securely in place while accommodating variations in material thickness. Our die springs hold firm, ensuring consistent and reliable performance.
