Rapesco PF25A001 Single Hole Punch Model 25, 10 Sheet Capacity, Silver

Product Information

Single-hole punches are widely used in the British Civil Service where papers are punched with a single hole in the upper left, and secured using a treasury tag. A single-hole punch makes a single hole per activation, usually at an arbitrary position (i.e., without alignment guides). Single-hole punches can also be used for binding, with a single loose binding ring, although this is much less common than with ring binders.

Its two holes are positioned symmetrically, with the centers 2 + 3⁄ 4 inches (70mm) apart.

The essential parts of a hole punch are the handle, the punch head, and the die. The punch head is typically a cylinder, with a flat end called the face. The die is a flat plate, with a hole matching the head. The head can move, while the die is fixed in place. Both head and die are usually made of a hard metal, with precise tolerances. One or more sheets of paper are inserted between the head and the die, with the flat face of the head parallel to the surface of the sheets. Moving the handle pushes the head straight through the sheets of paper. The hard edge of the punch vs the die cuts a hole in the paper, pushing the cut piece out the bottom of the die. The cut-out bit of paper scrap is called a chad. Konica-Minolta specifies that the holes should be 11 ±1mm from the edge of the paper [6] for European 4-hole arrangements, contrary to ISO838. hole system exists. It is still in use today, but is not as common as the 3-hole standard. The four holes are positioned symmetrically with centers 3 + 1⁄ 2 inches (89mm) apart. The four binding positions provide more support for the longer 14-inch side of legal paper. Grab compact or larger sizes, depending on your office space. With different colour options to discover too, we have a huge variety of punches available. You may be needing a four or two hole punch, to organise papers and put in a ring binder file - no problem! Alternatively, sort sheets and thread together for use as a working document, all with the help of a paper punch.

In Sweden, a four-hole national standard [7] is almost exclusively used. The centers of the holes are 21mm, 70mm and 21mm apart, 10.5 ±0.5mm from the edge of the paper. The guides help keep the paper in a straight line. A hole punch, also known as hole puncher, or paper puncher, is an office tool that is used to create holes in sheets of paper, often for the purpose of collecting the sheets in a binder or folder (such collected sheets are called loose leaves). A hole punch can also refer to similar tools for other materials, such as leather, cloth, or plastic or metal sheets. Xaver Frühbeis (14 November 2000), Renate von Walter (ed.), Geburtstag des Lochers[ Birthday of the Punch] ( RTF) (in German), Bayerischer Rundfunk, archived from the original (RTF) on 2004-09-02 A hole punch does not necessarily make round or square holes in a sheet of paper; instead, it may create certain shapes along the edge of the sheet. This is seen in discbound notebook systems, where loose leaves are bound together using plastic discs.

For the US letter paper size ( 8 + 1⁄ 2 by 11 inches, 220 by 280mm), a three-hole standard is widely used. The holes are positioned symmetrically, with the centers 4 + 1⁄ 4 inches (108mm) apart. It requires paper formats that are at least 9 + 1⁄ 2 inches (241mm) high.

There are hole punches which punch patterns of multiple holes at once, typically for binding multiple sheets together (see §Applications). Such punches generally feature two paper guides for alignment. One guide will be along the side of the paper to be punched, and sets the distance of the holes from the edge of the paper (the margin or gutter). The other guide will be on a perpendicular side, and aligns the holes between the top and bottom of the sheet. One or both guides may be adjustable. The most common use for multi-hole punched paper is with a ring binder. A book-like cover is fitted with retaining rings matching the pattern of the punched holes. The rings may be split open, paper sheets threaded onto them, and then the rings closed again.

Helping you punch holes in paper with a variety of mm hole sizes, our range is all inclusive!Specialized hand-operated tape punches were used to perform small edits and repairs on punched paper tapes used for data entry into teletypes or early computers. Torn or damaged tapes were sometimes aligned with specialized jigs, spliced with special adhesive tape, and the holes encoding data were manually restored using such punches. The ASCII character code included a special DELETE or DEL character defined as all holes punched out (code 7F), allowing an erroneous character to be canceled by punching extra holes.

A variety of hole patterns are in use for ring bindings. In much of the world, two-hole and four-hole punches consistent with ISO 838 are the norm. In the US, the three-hole punch is most common. See §Standards.Single-hole punches are often used to punch holes through old playing cards at casinos, marking them as "used" or "canceled". This helps cut down on cheating by eliminating any cards that may have been tainted by players. Concerns have risen about the lifespan of the hole punch as most paper documents are now online, making the use of it irrelevant. The diameter of the holes varies between manufacturers, with typical values being 1⁄ 4 to 5⁄ 16 inch (6 to 8mm). The 5⁄ 16 value is most commonly used, as it allows for looser tolerances in both ring binder and paper punching. The distance to the paper edge also varies, with 1⁄ 2 inch (13mm) hole-center-to-edge being typical. Konica-Minolta specifies 9.5 ±1mm [6] for both two and three-hole variants in North America.
