Q-Connect 4 Hole Punch Black 16 Sheet KF01238

Product Information

Some hole punches will be more heavyweight than others, and these can typically punch through more sheets of paper at once compared with more lightweight models. ISO 838 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. Appleton Standard Layout" (PDF). Archived from the original (PDF) on 2013-11-26 . Retrieved 2013-02-12. 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 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.

The binder's inventor, Andreas Tengwall, supposedly named it after a consortium consisting of himself and two companions, i.e. a trio. [ citation needed] The binder can be opened at any place while holding the papers in place, as the inner holes have guide pins from one side, the outer holes have pins from the other side. 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. The template will assume the role of a standard stationery for you with the protected space where you put it.The type of hole punch you need can also be determined by the size of paper you are using since different variations of hole punch are specifically targeted at particular paper sizes, such as letter-sized paper, legal-sized paper, and A4-sized paper. Generally holes are punched in the binding gutter. Depending on the binding technology, it might be difficult to read what’s printed near the holes, even through bending the sheet. That’s why it is recommended to punch the holes in the margin, wide enough to account for the binding and its inconveniences", which should really be a no-printing zone. Consequently, the best setting is to enlarge the inner margin (which allows for duplex printing with correctly balanced uneven margins). 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. The holes produced by this hole punch will be 108mm apart or 4 and a half inches apart. The central hole will be positioned in the center of the length of the paper, with the other two holes at relevant measurements on either side. 4-hole 888 in Wrap tab, set wrap mode to Parallel with optional guard space around the frame if your size does not include it

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.

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. The principles of the hole punch have hardly changed since the original invention, and this piece of equipment is still widely used in offices and schools today. Hole Punch Sizes

The hole punch comes in various standard sizes including the ISO 838 (with 2 holes apart), 3-hole, 4-hole 888, 4-hole legal, and single punch. It typically has a diameter of 6±0.5 mm and there are 80 – 108mm between holes depending on the manufacturer. 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. This size of hole punch is set by the International Organization for Standardization and is therefore accepted as the standard size of hole punch across the world. When using this hole punch on paper, those papers will be compatible to be bound by a two-ring holder. 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. Another standard also occasionally used in the US is a "filebinder" system. Its two holes are positioned symmetrically, with the centers 2 + 3⁄ 4 inches (70mm) apart.

What is “standard hole punch location”? You find zillions of binders: some with 2 rings, 3 rings, 4 rings, others with dozens of smaller rings even for A4 format. You can also bind your sheets landscape or portrait. When it comes to other DIN sizes or Imperial/US sizes the combinations become tremendous. A related office tool is the eyelet punch. This is a single-hole punch which also crimps a metal fastening loop around the hole, similar to a rivet. It is used to permanently secure a few sheets of paper together. A four-hole extension to ISO838 is also in common use. Two holes are punched in accordance with the standard, plus two additional holes located 80mm to the outside of the standard holes. The two additional holes provide more stability in 4-ring binders, while still allowing 4-hole paper to fit 2-ring binders. This extension is sometimes referred to as the "888" system, because of the three 8-cm gaps between the holes. Some 2-hole punches have an "888" marking on their paper guide, to assist punching all four holes into A4 paper. [5] A single-hole punch makes a single hole per activation, usually at an arbitrary position (i.e., without alignment guides). This is a hole punch that is widely used in the US for letter-sized paper and is compatible with standard 3 ring binders designed to hold letter-sized paper.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. a b "PK-520 Punch Kit Installation Manual". Konica Minolta. p.E-4. A3ET-9550-01 . Retrieved 2021-12-22. There are many different types of ring binders, with different amounts of rings and different spacing measurements between the rings, and this means that several different sizes of hole punch are required. There are other binding techniques which use hole punching. Coil binding uses a spring-like coil, threaded into the punched holes. Comb binding uses a plastic strip with "fingers" that clip into the punched holes. Both use their own types of specialized hole punches. Comb binding typically punches 19 or 23 rectangular holes (for letter and A4 paper sizes, respectively).
