A puncher with paper eyelets is used in the manufacture of various packaging materials (bags or boxes), with their help make fastenings for photo albums . For example, to put the handles in a paper bag, you need to make accurate holes. For this purpose, eyelets are used - metal rings of different diameters and sizes. Eyelets can be round or decorative.
The main types of punch holes for eyelets
To install the eyelets use special tools that are divided into these types:
- Universal installer of eyelets for paper Fiskars. To their advantages can be attributed a low price and availability in the acquisition (can be found in any construction supermarket).
The shortcomings of this species include:
- the need to use great physical strength;
- the possibility of installing eyelets with only one diameter (1.6, 3.2, 4.8 mm) and shape;
- with the help of such an installer you can install eyelets only for a limited number of materials. For example, they can be used for paper, but for fabric and dense album pages they are no longer suitable.
- At first, holes are punched through the punch hole to install the eyelets with which the tool is equipped.
- Then you just need to squeeze the tool handles, and the grommet is installed. In this case, special efforts are not required.
- If you apply Crop-A-Dile to install at any distance, then you make a hole and immediately install the eyelet.
This kind of tool is suitable also for very strong materials (for example, CD-disks).
Thus, you can choose a tool for yourself depending on the purposes in which you are going to apply it.
