Choosing a Slot Punch for your ID Card Program
Slot punches can be made either horizontally or vertically. Many of the slot punches we offer include an adjustable centering guide for easier and more accurate placement of the slot opening as well as a receptacle for capturing discarded punches.
The best way to select a slot punch for your ID card program is to choose the one that will accommodate the volume of cards you intend to product for your application.
Hand-Held Punches – Great for small batches of cards; lightweight, compact, and easily adjustable.
Stapler-Style Punches – A versatile desktop design that’s perfect for medium-volume card punching.
Table Top Punches – A rugged, all metal punch designed for medium-volume card punching.
Heavy-Duty Electric Punches – The ideal automated option for punching a high volume of cards.

We strongly recommend slot punching your ID cards after you print them. Printing on pre-punched cards creates an uneven surface that can damage the printhead, resulting in reduced image quality on your cards and costly repair or replacement of your printhead.
