Applications
Applications for paper drilling are e.g. file holes for different ring binders, loose leaf collections, rows of holes for wire comb binding and tags. Many products processed on a paper drilling machine are stationery. Additionally catalogues, manuals and brochures are drilled on a paper drilling system to be able to file them in a binder. Sometimes drilled holes are used for decorative purposes. Additionally to different stock types - e.g. offset paper, bond paper, glossy paper, coated paper - a modern paper drilling machine can drill many other materials like plastic films, cardboard, foils etc.
Some casinos use a paper drill to deface used decks of playing cards, a process known as canceling. Cards are canceled so that they cannot be marked by cheaters outside of the casino and surreptitiously brought back into play.
