What Types of Paper Punches Are Available?
Paper punches can be designed for handheld, desktop, electric, lever or squeeze functions. Electric paper punchers allow you to effortlessly punch stacks of copy paper. Their built-in plastic chip tray collects all of the leftover paper scraps for easy disposal. Desktop punchers have classic hole punch designs to create circular holes. Some are made out of durable metal so they will last for years to come. They also come in a variety of shapes and sizes.
How Many Paper Hole Punchers Are Typically Needed?
You can purchase one hole punch per office room or employee. If two employees are sharing one office space, they can typically share a hole punch, however, it’s a good idea to have multiple hole punches on hand so employees don’t have to share. This is especially true for students who may need to punch holes in their homework to safely transport it from home to school. It is much more ideal to purchase multiple paper punches to save time instead of frustrated students and employees who need to wait their turn to use a hole punch.
