• Built-in alignment guides reduce trimming and rework

What materials will this punch work with?

This punch handles common paper crafting stocks such as scrapbook paper, cardstock, and decoupage sheets. It’s not intended for heavy materials like chipboard or thick plastic, but will reliably cut most paperweights used in cards and tags.

• Recommended: lightweight to medium cardstock and decorative papers
• Not recommended: very thick board, fabrics or dense plastics
• Can be used with metallic foil occasionally to help keep the edge sharp

How do I maintain and store the punch for long life?

Keep the blade clean and occasionally punch through aluminium foil to remove residue and realign the edge. The unit locks closed for compact storage and to protect the cutting surface when not in use.

• Lock mechanism keeps the punch compact and safe in drawers
• Punching foil periodically sharpens the cutting edge
• Wipe blade area clean to prevent paper dust buildup
