1 Hole Paper Punches

A single hole punch puts one hole wherever you place the paper, which is what makes it right for swing tickets, gift tags, luggage labels and laminated name cards — anything that hangs from string, a ring or a lanyard. Filing punches space their holes at fixed centres and cannot do this job, so check paper punches if you need multi-hole filing instead. Reach matters if the hole must sit well in from the edge, and a heavier mechanism is worth it if you are punching laminated cards.
