Bernadette Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I'm looking to find a kind of specialized hole punch with no luck. I have these 5 1/2" square plastic boxes that have a 2" side. I want to put a hole in the center of the 5 1/2" piece. A hand held just isn't long enough to get there and I've tried several. Does anyone know of a punch that's more like a stamp, and where you could get one? Any other suggestions? I need a finished look. Thanks for any help you can give.

deb426 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Have you check out any of the long reach hole punchers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemylabs Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Check with your local Staples or any other office supply store...they may just have what you need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernadette Posted March 2, 2011 Author Share Posted March 2, 2011 I've already tried Staples...no luck. Michaels and Joanns only have shaped hole punchers for scrapbooking. At least I know there is such a thing now(thanks, ladies!). Guess I'll have to purchase online. Was hoping I could just pop out this afternoon and find something somewhere. Oh well...:tiptoe: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemylabs Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Wow...that surprises me about Staples...you'd think they, of all people, would carry a variety of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleasureridgecandles Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I have something that may work. It's a big punch with a rotating head that has different size punches. I used to use it to punch the holes in my air fresheners and it worked great, but, when you were punching a hundred air fresheners the hand got tired. So I found a better way to do those. It also punches holes in leather so I would think it would do cardboard. I got it at hobby lobby. If you have one of those you'll need to look for it. It wasn't with the normal punches you find for scrapbooking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even called their 800 number...no luck. I have to swing by Michael's tomorrow for something else. I'll look again. No hobby lobby here. Closest one is over 200 miles away.
