There are plenty of places to buy drafting supplies online. Here is why customers keep coming back to DEW.
Our team includes industry professionals who have been at a drafting table. Not a call center reading from a product page.
We were here before the internet, before CAD took over, and we are still here because we know this market and we take care of our customers.
We buy direct from manufacturers in volume and pass those savings on. No inflated markups. Competitive prices on everything from a single eraser to a professional drafting table.
We build our own drafting kits in-house and carry products assembled here that you cannot find anywhere else.
Send us your supply list and we will build a kit around it. We work with schools, universities, and trade programs nationwide. Request a custom kit.
We are a small family business and we treat customers accordingly. Clear pricing, honest policies, and no runaround. If something is not right we fix it.
Drafting Equipment Warehouse has been a specialty source for professional drafting supplies since 1994. We started as a small family business serving architects and engineers in the Phoenix area, became an authorized distributor for Mayline, Safco, and Alvin in 1996, and have been shipping orders nationwide since 2000. We are still the same small family business we always were, we just serve a lot more people now.
What sets us apart from general retailers is simple: Our team includes drafting industry professionals and a customer service team with over 20 years of product knowledge. When you call us with a question about lead grades, which technical pen works on film, or what drafting table holds up best in a classroom, you are talking to someone who actually knows. We carry thousands of products across drafting supplies, drawing tools, drafting furniture, blueprint storage, architectural model making, and drawing and illustration; and we know our catalog well enough to help you find exactly what you need.
We also build our own DEW Exclusive drafting kits in-house, assembled here, available nowhere else. When Alvin discontinued their popular drafting kits, we rebuilt them. We also work directly with schools, universities, trade programs, and professors to create custom kits built to their exact supply list, with a dedicated order page so students can order and ship directly to themselves. Learn more about our drafting kits.
Our prices are factory-direct. We buy in volume from manufacturers including Alvin, Safco, Mayline, Clearprint, Staedtler, Chartpak, Koh-i-Noor, Alumicolor, and Pacific Arc, and we pass those savings on. No inflated retail markups. What you see is what you pay.
