Is it possible to take pictures of it and post them (or have a link to them) here for us to see. Maybe its name is widely varied and someone here has some experience with it for some other operations rather than making buttons. Meanwhile, I make about 50+ buttons daily, and Graphic Punch has been the greatest asset to me. It only takes a few minutes to punch them out.
