Midori XS Compact Punch white

The Midori XS Compact Punch is a foldable two-hole punch in miniature format – closed smaller than a lighter, unfolded a full-featured punch for up to five sheets. The housing made of polycarbonate and POM is lightweight and break-resistant; the steel punch heads work cleanly and with minimal effort. White with gold-colored Midori lettering – a calm, clear appearance that matches the entire XS line.

Special Features

• Folding mechanism in seconds: Pull the two halves apart, the punch unfolds and is ready to use immediately. To store, press the center, push the halves together – done. No rattling, no snagging.
• Both holes in one stroke: The two punch heads work simultaneously; the hole spacing is approximately 80 mm from center to center – compatible with standard ring binders and two-ring folders according to European standard.
• Arrow marking for paper centering: A recessed marking in the center of the device indicates the paper center. Align the sheet, align the arrow with the paper edge – both holes sit reproducibly symmetrical, completely without ruler or template.
• Integrated catch trays: Each side has a small tray that holds the punched paper scraps. When pulling the halves apart, they can be easily emptied.
• Punch capacity up to 5 sheets: Despite its miniature size, the device punches up to five sheets of 80 g/m² paper in one pass.
• Housing material: Polycarbonate and POM for the housing, steel for the punch heads – the combination withstands frequent use in the pocket without losing precision.
• Good Design Award: The XS line won the Good Design Award; all tools in the series share format, proportions and color language.

Application & Tips

• Punch on the go: Punch handouts from meetings, seminar materials or receipts on the spot and insert them into the ring binder – closed, the punch measures only 67 × 28 × 17.5 mm and fits easily next to pens in a narrow case.
• Use paper centering: Insert the sheet until the arrow marking aligns with the sheet center – this ensures both holes are perfectly symmetrical, even without measuring.
• Dispose of scraps: Empty the small catch trays before the next use by simply pulling the halves apart over a waste paper basket.
• Check hole spacing: The spacing of approximately 80 mm corresponds to the European two-hole standard and fits common ring binders, clamp files and school notebooks with 80 mm holes.
• As part of a travel office set: The Compact Punch can be combined with the XS stapler, XS scissors and XS tape dispenser in a compact case as a complete mobile office set – all parts of the XS series fit together size-wise.

For Planner and Stationery Enthusiasts

The Midori XS line is designed for maximum everyday usability in pocket format. The Compact Punch bridges the gap between precision tool and everyday companion: the steel punch heads deliver clean, burr-free hole edges – even with multiple-folded paper or lightweight cardboard up to approximately 200 g/m². Those who regularly integrate journal pages, loose notes or printed templates into ring binder systems benefit especially from the centering marking: reproducible hole position without marking, session after session.
