Find Out What Our Customers Think
Say goodbye to slow, tedious, and inaccurate hole punching with our paper drilling machines.
If your business is still producing manuals, reports, or bound documents the old-fashioned way, it's costing your staff valuable time, and it's also an unrewarding job. Manual paper punching is often associated with misaligned holes and damaged paper stacks, which look unprofessional and require redoing.
In contrast, a professional paper drilling tool eliminates these frustrations by quickly drilling clean holes through large stacks. It turns a 30-minute manual chore into a 10-second mechanical breeze.
Let us help you find the best paper drill for your circumstances.
We carry paper drilling machines for pretty much every drilling capacity, automation level, and production environment, from large offices to small organizations. Here’s a brief overview of some of our inventory:
● Light-Duty Paper Drills for Occasional Use: Models such as the Challenge Handy Paper Drill are perfect tabletop devices for administrative offices or small non-profits that need to punch more than a standard 3-hole punch can handle, but don't call for a floorstanding industrial unit.
● Single-Spindle Office Paper Drills: Compact machines such as the Lassco Wizer Spinnit FM-2 Paper Drill are developed for light-to-moderate drilling workloads. They drill one hole at a time and are fit for offices, schools, and small print operations that regularly prepare documents for binders or manuals.
● Multi-Spindle Paper Drills: When "time is money," multi-spindle machines are the answer. Instead of moving the paper three times to make three holes, these devices feature multiple heads that descend simultaneously. Models such as the MBM FMM3 Paper Drill are appropriate for commercial binderies or large-scale book-binding drill-machine operations where completing a job in one-third of the time is critical to profitability.
● Hydraulic & Heavy-Duty Paper Drills: For the densest stocks or maximum thickness (up to 2.5 inches), manual foot pedals or light electric motors can cause operator fatigue. Hydraulic units use fluid pressure to drive the bit through the paper with zero physical effort from the user. The Challenge MS-5 Multi-Spindle Drill with 3 Narrow Heads is a great choice for heavy industrial environments or government agencies processing massive volumes of archival documents.

Yes. Adjustable drill heads and interchangeable bits allow you to create custom hole patterns for various binders and binding styles.
Yes, albeit indirectly. Precise drilling eliminates misaligned holes and damaged stacks that are so common when manually punching holes, which would otherwise need to be reprinted.
Because they provide the industrial-strength precision required to transform loose stacks of paper into professionally bound, multi-page volumes such as catalogs, brochures, and books. However, not all paper drills qualify as book-making machines. As always, contact us if you have any questions.
