The <a href="/wiki/Punching" title="Punching">punch head</a> is typically a cylinder, with a flat end called the <i>face</i>. The <a href="/wiki/Die_(manufacturing)" title="Die (manufacturing)">die</a> 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 <a href="/wiki/Hardness" title="Hardness">hard</a> metal, with precise <a href="/wiki/Engineering_tolerance" title="Engineering tolerance">tolerances</a>. 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 <i><a href="/wiki/Chad_(paper)" title="Chad (paper)">chad</a></i>. </p><p>The handle functions as a <a href="/wiki/Lever" title="Lever">lever</a>, decreasing the amount of force the operator needs to apply. The travel distance of the cylinder is generally very short—the thickness of the paper sheets—so the cylinder can be positioned close to the lever <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/fulcrum" class="extiw" title="wikt:fulcrum">fulcrum</a>. For low-volume hole punches, the resulting lever handle need not be more than 8 centimetres (3.1 in) long for sufficient force. Hole punches for larger volumes of paper (hundreds of sheets) feature longer lever arms, but function similarly. </p><p>There are hole punches which punch patterns of multiple holes at once, typically for <a href="/wiki/Bookbinding" title="Bookbinding">binding</a> multiple sheets together (see <a href="#Applications">§ Applications</a>). 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 <a href="/wiki/Margin_(typography)" title="Margin (typography)">margin or gutter</a>). 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. </p><p>On multiple-hole punches, the positions of individual punch heads may also be adjustable. Commonly, one or more punch heads are mounted in independent fittings, which can slide along a rail. A <a href="/wiki/Set_screw" title="Set screw">set screw</a> holds each fitting in position. There may be marks on the device to identify standard hole positions. There may be positions where a punch head will not make contact with the activating handle, allowing holes to be "turned off". </p><p>Some punch designs use hollow punch heads (a thin-walled tube), with the edge a sharpened <a href="/wiki/Blade" title="Blade">blade</a>. This allows the chads to be pushed up and out the top, as the paper is being cut, making it more suitable for thicker volumes of paper. For very large amounts of paper, a <a href="/wiki/Paper_drilling" title="Paper drilling">paper drill</a> may be used instead of a punch. </p> <div style="clear:both;" class=""></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Applications">Applications</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Hole_punch&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Applications"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Single-hole_punches">Single-hole punches</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Hole_punch&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Single-hole punches"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Single-hole-punch.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ad/Single-hole-punch.jpg/220px-Single-hole-punch.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="159" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ad/Single-hole-punch.jpg/330px-Single-hole-punch.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ad/Single-hole-punch.jpg/440px-Single-hole-punch.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1800" data-file-height="1300" /></a><figcaption>Common handheld single-hole punch</figcaption></figure> <p>A single-hole punch makes a single hole per activation, usually at an arbitrary position (i.e., without alignment guides). </p><p>Single-hole punches are often used to punch an <a href="/wiki/Admission_ticket" class="mw-redirect" title="Admission ticket">admission ticket</a> or other document to indicate it has been used or processed.

The rings may be split open, paper sheets threaded onto them, and then the rings closed again. </p><p>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 <a href="#Standards">§ Standards</a>. </p><p>There are other binding techniques which use hole punching. <a href="/wiki/Coil_binding" title="Coil binding">Coil binding</a> uses a spring-like coil, threaded into the punched holes. <a href="/wiki/Comb_binding" title="Comb binding">Comb binding</a> uses a plastic strip with "fingers" that clip into the punched holes.
