Title: WTB Rolodex card punch
Post by: T14 on October 31, 2017, 09:43:14 PM
Greetings.

I am looking for a rolodex card punch. Any size, weight, material or configuration would be grand. Used or new is fine.
I am looking to print out small cue cards for the engineering tasks I routinely face and stick them onto my dads old rolodex business card organizer.
These things are as rare as unicorn tears this side of the pond.

Help a brother out  :pok:

They have them on the Amazon.de site...

They also have the plastic sleeve ones so you can slip your cards into them and not have to stick them...

Cheers mate.

I might give the card sleeves a whirl if I do not manage to get my grubby mitts on a dedicated punch.
The refill cards do not ship to Denmark for some reason  :think:

I have been told that rolodex punches were once common in the new world. I am hoping someone has one buried in a desk drawer somewhere :)

Sorry I didn't realise you wanted the punch.  Maybe the title should have told me huh  :facepalm:

There's a few out there in the U.S. but they start at around $50 plus shipping on top so it'll end up more than €100  :o

Sources say that basic versions cost four bucks apiece at office depot/staples.
But when I lived stateside It never occured that to me that I would have a need for one 15 year later :)

Unless otherwise noted, I am on the lookout until December 14. 2020
