Markus Kuhn (2018-07-13), International standard paper sizes, archived from the original on 2021-12-05 , retrieved 2019-08-08, Not specified in ISO 838, but also widely used, is an upwards compatible 4-hole system. The two additional holes provide more stability in 4-ring binders, while still allowing 4-hole paper to fit 2-ring binders.

A later paper punch was refined in 1893 by Charles Brooks, and it was referred to as a ticket punch due to its early role in punching train tickets as trains became increasingly popular and common between 1850 and 1900. The other guide will be on a perpendicular side, and aligns the holes between the top and bottom of the sheet. The 5⁄ 16 value is most commonly used, as it allows for looser tolerances in both ring binder and paper punching. Holding up to 80mm of papers, these clips are ideal for binding hole-punched documents with two holes, or square cut folders.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. It features a solid metal body with moulded plastic cap and full rubber base to protect your desk surface. 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. This extension is sometimes referred to as the "888" system, because of the three 8-cm gaps between the holes. 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.

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). There may be positions where a punch head will not make contact with the activating handle, allowing holes to be "turned off".Hole punches are available in standard two-hole models that are designed for ring binders and lever arch files, single hole punches to give you maximum flexibility, and 4 punch holes for unusual gauges of binder.

Concerns have risen about the lifespan of the hole punch as most paper documents are now online, making the use of it irrelevant. Its two middle holes correspond to ISO 838, plus there are two additional holes located 80 mm above and below these to provide for more stability.This is seen in discbound notebook systems, where loose leaves are bound together using plastic discs. Commonly, one or more punch heads are mounted in independent fittings, which can slide along a rail. The distance to the paper edge also varies, with 1⁄ 2 inch (13mm) hole-center-to-edge being typical. This system is also known under the nickname "888", presumably because the three gaps between the holes are all 8 cm wide.

Punching one page at a time and leaving half the circle still attached is time consuming and not productive. Friedrich Soennecken filed his patent on 14 November 1886, for his Papierlocher für Sammelmappen, a multiple-hole punch and office supply product. From elegant corner punches to step up your card making to cute animals for fun kids' crafts, these craft punches are easy to use and full of possibilities. The diameter of the holes varies between manufacturers, with typical values being 1⁄ 4 to 5⁄ 16 inch (6 to 8mm). For the US letter paper size ( 8 + 1⁄ 2 by 11 inches, 220 by 280mm), a three-hole standard is widely used.

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 binder's inventor, Andreas Tengwall, supposedly named it after a consortium consisting of himself and two companions, i. Hole punches for larger volumes of paper (hundreds of sheets) feature longer lever arms, but function similarly.

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.
