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).

Retrieved 2013-02-12.International Standard ISO838 specifies two holes, with centers 80 ±0.5mm apart, and located 12 ±1mm from the nearest edge of the paper, and with the pair of holes positioned symmetrically along that edge. Each hole is to have a diameter of 6 ±0.5mm. Any paper format that is at least 100mm high can be filed using this system (e.g., ISO A7 and larger). A printed document with a margin of 20–25mm will accommodate ISO838 filing holes. Concerns have risen about the lifespan of the hole punch as most paper documents are now online, making the use of it irrelevant.

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.

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. 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 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.

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. 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.

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. Convenient and uncomplicated online shopping in no time at all! Our wide range offers you a huge selection of great brand products at unbeatable prices. 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. The United States and a few other countries use non-ISO paper standards, defined in ANSI/ASME Y14.1 and other intra-nation standards. Unlike ISO838, there appears to be no well-established official specification for ANSI paper hole patterns, and instead they are de facto standards, established by custom and tradition. The official name of this four-hole system is triohålning, since it was adapted to the "Trio binder" which was awarded Swedish patent in 1890. 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.

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.

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.
