Hole punch Maped 401111 — metal, 12-sheet capacity, 5 mm punch diameter, black

The Maped metal hole punch is a compact, reliable tool for creating standard 5 mm holes in paper stacks up to 12 sheets thick. Designed with a durable metal construction and a black finish, this hole punch provides consistent hole placement for filing systems and binders. Its manual lever mechanism and reinforced punching head are suitable for frequent everyday use in office, school, or home environments where organised document storage is required.

Advantages

The solid metal build ensures long-term durability and resistance to deformation under repeated use, while the precise 5 mm punch diameter produces clean, uniform holes compatible with many binder and organiser systems. The device’s capacity to punch up to 12 sheets at once increases efficiency when preparing multiple documents. Its compact footprint and black finish fit unobtrusively into standard desk environments.

Suitable for

• Punching paper for ring binders and organisers
• Preparing homework, reports, and project sheets
• Office filing and document archiving
• School and classroom document preparation
• Small-volume home office use

Key specifications

• Punch diameter: 5 mm
• Maximum sheet capacity: 12 sheets (standard 80 g/m² paper)
• Construction: metal body and punching mechanism
• Finish: black
• Punch type: single-hole manual punch suitable for standard binding systems

How to use

Place the paper stack neatly aligned in the guide area, using the built-in paper stop or alignment edge if available to ensure consistent hole placement. Press the lever down evenly and firmly until the punching mechanism passes through the paper. Release the lever to raise the punch and remove the punched sheets. Periodically empty any chip receptacle or clear punched waste to maintain performance and prevent jamming.

Usage recommendations

For best results, do not exceed the specified 12-sheet capacity and use standard-weight paper (around 80 g/m²). If punching thicker stacks, perform two passes with smaller stacks to avoid damage. Keep the punching area clean from paper debris and operate the lever with steady pressure to prolong the tool’s service life.
