Kangaro DP-280 2 Hole Metal Paper Punch

The Kangaro DP-280 is a compact 2-hole metal paper punch designed for everyday use at individual workstations, home offices, and small office environments. With a punching capacity of up to 12 sheets of standard paper, a 5.5 mm punching diameter, and an 80 mm punching distance, it produces neat, accurate holes suited to standard 2-ring binders and files. At Raju Stationery Mart, Ludhiana, the Kangaro DP-280 is a popular stationery staple for offices, coaching centres, and SMEs across Punjab looking for a dependable, space-saving punching solution.

Despite its compact footprint, the DP-280 is built with an all-metal body, making it far more durable than similarly sized plastic alternatives. A built-in paper centre position indicator takes the guesswork out of alignment, ensuring both holes land precisely every time. The removable waste paper collection tray at the base contains punched chads neatly, preventing mess on the desk — a detail that makes a real difference in shared office environments. The DP-280 is available in assorted colours, subject to stock, making it easy to colour-code across departments or workstations.

Raju Stationery Mart, Ludhiana, has supplied Kangaro office equipment to schools, coaching institutes, banks, SMEs, and government departments across Punjab since 1986. The DP-280 is available individually or in bulk quantities, with GST-compliant invoicing for all B2B and institutional orders and local delivery within Ludhiana. Whether equipping a single desk or stocking an entire floor of workstations, we ensure prompt supply of genuine Kangaro products at competitive rates.

• Use the centre position indicator: Slide the paper against the built-in indicator guide to automatically centre the holes for A4 or foolscap sheets before punching. This eliminates the need to measure manually and ensures consistent results every time.
• Respect the 12-sheet capacity: The DP-280 is rated for up to 12 sheets of 75–80 gsm paper. Exceeding this will strain the mechanism and can result in torn or incomplete holes. For thicker batches, divide into smaller stacks and punch in turns.
• Press straight and firm: Apply even downward pressure through the palm rather than the fingertips. A single confident press produces cleaner holes than a slow, uneven squeeze — particularly important near the sheet limit.
• Empty the chad tray before it overflows: The removable waste tray collects punched paper discs. Check and empty it regularly — a full tray can cause chads to back up into the punch mechanism, affecting performance and creating mess.
• Punch on a flat, stable surface: Place the DP-280 on a firm, level desk before use. Punching on soft or uneven surfaces can cause the unit to shift mid-press, resulting in misaligned holes.
• Ideal for standard 2-ring filing: The DP-280 is calibrated for standard Indian 2-ring binder files with an 80 mm hole spacing. Confirm your binder ring spacing matches before punching non-standard documents.
• Store upright and dust-free: When not in use, keep the punch on the desk or in a drawer away from dust. Occasional wiping of the punch pins with a dry cloth will prevent paper debris build-up and maintain smooth action.
• Handle with care around children: The punch pins are sharp. In school or coaching centre environments, supervise young students during use and store the punch out of reach when the workstation is unattended.
