hole punch

Binder preparation tool

A hole punch is a device that cuts circular holes in paper, typically for inserting pages into a ring binder.

Office hole punches usually make two or three holes along one edge.

Single-hole punches are used for tickets, tags, and crafts.

The verb is to hole-punch: I need to hole-punch these handouts before the meeting.
