Punching A5 sheets with the new Rapesco punch

You will no doubt remember the full review we did of the new Rapesco 6 hole punch a few weeks ago.

Our friends at Rapesco have now shared the video below to help you use their latest 6 hole punch when punching A5 pages.

It is two part process of punching first one set of three holes then flipping the pages over and doing the other three holes. The paper guide helps you set the paper at the correct place though to get the holes in the correct place.

Take a look at the video.


There is also a comprehensive instruction sheet as well for all sizes: 

You can download a pdf of this sheet here.
