All About the Akiles FlexiPunch-E Interchangeable Binding Machine

Tabletop document punching just got easier and more affordable.

Introducing the FlexiPunch-E - an innovative modular punching machine with electric operation at an affordable price that gives you the versatility of document binding options that you need, allowing you to punch for wire-o, gbc combs, and spiral coil. The high-quality precision punching dies available with this machine will last for years of production. Finally, you are able to punch your mid-volume jobs with a variety of binding methods by simply switching the punching die on this portable unit.

The FlexiPunch-E has a recommended punching capacity of 15 sheets (20#) at a time for all punching dies. The interchangeable die sets were created with a quick die change design that allows you to easily change from one punch pattern to another within seconds- no tools needed! Fully disengageable pins on each punching die allows for punching of all paper sizes without partially punched holes at either end.

The FlexiPunch was built to last with a rugged design including all metal parts, heavy cast side plates, and non-skid feet. The Akiles FlexiPunch is a durable machine that is perfect for small to mid-sized offices with mid-volume punching needs that do not justify the higher cost automated or heavy duty equipment. The Akiles FlexiPunch-E has 4 different punch dies to choose from, including plastic comb, 2:1 Wire-O, 3:1 Wire-O, and 4:1 Spiral Binding. The adjustable depth margin is available for all punch dies and provides the correct punch margin depth for each element or book size.
