There goes more: Stapler and punch for large paper piles

Do you know that too? It is Monday morning, the presentation of the management begins in 30 minutes and there are still 800 sheets to be processed in professional handouts … Your punching is as on the assembly line and staples until the hands are sore. In the end, some small stack is obliquely perforated or wrongly stapled and the documents look unprofessional. Then the hustle and bustle begins, and at 9 o’clock you feel as if you had climbed Mount Everest.

Does this happen more frequently in your workplace? Then you should definitely think about the purchase of a block-hole and block-stapler, For example from the Heavy-Duty series from Novus. With their help, you can stack and staple up to 200 sheets of paper, without any effort, and in no time. But when is this acquisition worthwhile?

Easily perforated!

The conventional perforator for everyday use is indispensable on every desk. It reliably perforates one to a maximum of 30 sheets of paper in normal thickness. But in many offices, perforations are also needed for larger quantities of paper, thicker papers or cardboard, such as presentation documents, catalogues, comprehensive files, etc. For those who need such perforation regularly and several times a year, a filing perforator is a sensible purchase. Most filing perforators are made of somewhat heavier metal and have an extended lever unit that makes it easier to punch larger quantities or thicker material. The important aspects you should think about before purchasing a filing perforator:

  • How much paper do you have to punch regularly in one go?
  • What size is the paper?
  • How thick is the paper that you punch regularly?
  • Do you need a 2-hole punch or also a 4-hole punch?

Once you have answered these questions, you will quickly find the right filing perforator. From small filing perforators for regular hole punching of up to 40 sheets to powerful all-rounders for convenient double and quadruple hole punching of up to 200 sheets. The purchase costs range from €10 to €200.

In with the staple!

… and into really thick stacks – in one go and without much effort. Stapling is often necessary in the office. For a paper quantity of up to 20 sheets, the conventional stapler is absolutely the right choice. But if you regularly need to staple larger quantities of paper, such as book-thick exposés, contracts of 150 pages or marketing materials, then using a conventional stapler is time-consuming as well as sweaty and not always crowned with success. That’s where the pad stapler is the right choice. They work like normal staplers, but use the lever principle. The important aspects you should think about before buying a block stapler:

  • How strong is the paper you regularly staple?
  • Do you need a simple staple or a saddle staple?

The purchase costs for a block stapler range from €30 to €200. There is a suitable perforator for every requirement – from the low-priced block stapler for up to 100 sheets to the block stapler with a very large stapling capacity of up to 200 sheets. If you have a special need, there is also a stapling in the middle of the sheet, as is common with booklets and staplers, if you use a booklet stapler (or also called a saddle stapler).
