- Full version available here.
- To use, align the edge of your paper with the guide line on the punch that corresponds to your desired size, then press down to punch the holes. Next, flip the paper and repeat the same step on the opposite side to create the remaining three holes.
About CARL:
CARL is a Japanese manufacturer recognized for its precision-engineered paper punches and binding tools. The company entered the hole-punch business around 1949, leveraging press-steel-plate technology to make small paper punches. In addition to traditional hole punches, they also cater to craft/stationery markets — decorative punches, portable models, and even devices tailored for planner systems you’re familiar with (e.g., for creating inserts).
