One-hole punch with 50% less force

The Bostitch Office inLIGHT 2401 uses EZ Squeeze technology by PaperPro to require 50% less force when punching up to 10 sheets. Its ergonomic design features curved, soft-grip handles for comfort during frequent use. A built-in chip tray empties through a flip-open door, and the handle locks closed for compact storage. Assorted colours are supplied without colour choice.

Suits light office, school or mobile use.

This punch suits home, office, school or backpack tasks where occasional one-hole punching is needed and low effort is valued. The 10-sheet limit and single-hole format mean it will not serve users who regularly process larger stacks or need two- or three-hole patterns for binders. Buyers needing higher capacity or multi-hole formats should look at a different class of tool.

Punches up to 10 sheets per press

The decisive specification is the 10-sheet maximum capacity per punch. If your typical stack exceeds this, the mechanism will not perform as intended and a heavier-duty model is required. For light, everyday tasks within this limit, the reduced-force action and jam-free operation deliver reliable results.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 2401 one-hole punch or a two-hole model for standard filing?

The 2401 is a single-hole punch, so it suits tasks like adding a hole to tags or loose sheets, while a two-hole punch matches standard ring-binder spacing.

What does the 10-sheet capacity mean when I use it daily?

You can cleanly punch through stacks of up to 10 sheets of standard paper in one squeeze without jamming.

Does the punch use a lever or a different mechanism, and what force is needed?

It uses a squeeze-action handle with ProPunch technology that cuts the required force by 50 percent compared with traditional lever punches.
