Circa Punch Packs a Punch

"I've decided disc-bound journals are my new go-to for memory keeping, simple planning and creativity. The Levenger Circa Universal Desk Punch cuts crisp, clean mushroom-shaped holes that are the perfect size for discs, allowing for easy page turning."

— Shannon F. (5/5)

Worth the cost

"I wish all of my hole punches were this quality. It feels and performs like it is made to last. It makes me happy just to use it. Perfect punch every time and easy to adjust to the size I need."

Solid punch

"Really well made, don't get the portable one unless that's what you need, this thing is great. I use it almost every day and haven't had any problems."

It’s a punch

"It does what it says it’s gonna do… recommend if you rely on these notebooks."

— Matthew C. (5/5)

Awesome punch

"This guy is a beast. Definitely the best mushroom punch there is. I tried other punches, but this one is made way better. I also found that Levenger mushroom holes are a bit more shallow than some other companies, so this punch allows me to use smaller discs with my notebooks. So happy to get it on sale!"

"I like the high quality items."

— Chris (5/5)

Great build

"The build quality is outstanding, solid, heavy-duty steel that feels like it will last forever,and it delivers clean, precise punches every time. It handles multiple sheets smoothly (up to about six at once), which makes quick work of turning loose pages, printouts, or notes into perfectly organized inserts. What really sets it apart is the versatility. The adjustable guides make it easy to punch a wide range of paper sizes, so everything from small notes to full letter sheets fits seamlessly into my notebook. It’s incredibly satisfying to customize your setup exactly how you want it."

— D H. (5/5)

Sturdy and precise

"This punch is a total workhorse for anyone using the discbound system. It handles several sheets at once with ease and the alignment is perfect every time, so you don't end up with crooked pages. It feels heavy and well-made, like it will actually last for years. If you want to turn your own paper or printouts into notebook pages without any hassle, this is the tool to get."

— D T. (5/5)

A Necessity for Career Planning Notebook

"This desk punch is just what I need to stay organized as I progress through my career coaching program and job search activities. I need to insert coaching handouts, custom trackers, resumes, etc. in my career planning notebook and this punch will get lots of use. It is heavy and well made - feels like a vintage office piecel!"

— Ellen (5/5)

We do not recommend punching anything but paper with our punches. Anything else will cause the punch to jam.
