ACCO 7704270 GBC 3230 Electric 24-Sheet 2-3 Hole Puncher 9/32" Dark Gray

Electric 2-3 Hole Punch

The GBC 3230 is an electric hole punch designed for office staff who process multi-page documents daily. It accepts up to 24 sheets of 20 lb paper per press and switches between two- and three-hole patterns with an adjustable guide. A push-button activates the motor and a jam-reverse knob clears misfeeds without disassembly. The dark-gray unit measures 21.2 by 12.6 by 9 inches.

Capacity and headroom

The 24-sheet rating covers typical memos, invoices and report sections in a single action. Thicker stock or coated paper reduces the practical limit, so large batches should be split to avoid strain on the mechanism. The 9/32 inch hole diameter matches standard North American ring binders. The alignment guide keeps holes consistent across repeated runs.

Build integration

Mains power is required; no battery option is mentioned. The footprint fits on a standard desk or shared workstation surface. The adjustable guide frees the operator from measuring hole spacing manually. The jam-reverse knob reduces downtime when a stack misfeeds. Buyers who need higher single-pass capacity or battery operation should look elsewhere.
